This is what we do!

Here is the next installment of pics for your viewing pleasure.

Aunt Annie sent me this one of Cole in there yearly Veterans Day parade. I sent him my "looking sexy" pic! No really I was pretty touched by this. I do love the camo on all the kids.

Here we have Soldiers that have no construction skills at all trying to hang a flat screen TV on the wall. Yes! very entertaining. I did help out eventually.

Just what we look like daily. Here we have my medics administering small pox vaccine.

15 little pricks and bam! You got small pox. Oh the fun things we do.

I just like these trucks. This is actually our front gate.

We went today to give MG Nasir and his staff the flu vaccine. Lions are a big thing here. Power, strength, vitality, knowledge, you know just all around cool.

This is the entrance to MG Nasir personal compound inside the base.

And yes this is not a joke that is MG Nasir, the 2IA BCT CDR. And yes that is me 1LT Hargrave giving him a shot. So if the MG doesn't make it then I'm gonna have to make a run for the Pakistan border and a life of refuge. A little bit about the General, he was a prior Iraqi Army Special Forces Soldier. After the Saddam regime fell he hooked up with the new regime and has advanced quickly and is very influential in all the transitions of the new government.

Here is Doc Manson giving the DIV CDR's brother, 1LT Nasir his flu shot. It pays to be the Generals brother some time. His office is better than the DIV XO office.

Me and Doc just having a good time. This is what we do. We hang out with the higher ups and do a lot of tea drinking, shaking hands and saying hi! Its a different fight out here. I mean we still have Soldiers out doing missions and things that I would just give my 2 front teeth to do but this is where I'm supposed to be and what I'm supposed to be doing. I know my little wife really appreciates that I don't do that stuff any more. But hey its all good.
