No pictures today, it was a rainy day, so we did not get out much. Thought I would just let you know where FOB Salerno is located. On the map above it is located in the point east of Gardez. The base is located in east-central Afghanistan in the province of Khost. It is located about 15 kilometers from the Pakistan border.
I don't really feel like I'm seeing Afghanistan, but under the circumstances, I'm OK with just seeing the base. They have a term for those of us that do not leave the base, it is FOBbette. I'll have to experience the country through the contractors we work with. I think they are also as curious about us as we are about them.
Tim,
