Here we are in April and it's been more than a month since I left Greenville. Time flies here when you're busy from 6 AM till 7, 8 or 9 PM daily. One of my Army Civil Engineers here at the FOB is leaving us over the weekend after 1 year in country. He's headed to Penn State at State Park PA to complete his Masters degree and I'll miss him. He was responsible for designing a permanent hospital for the base here and through his efforts, Ananconda will have real hospital instead of our field hospital which is made up long semi cirled tents over a concrete floor. Quite a compelx and is made up of some really dedicated doctors and nurses as you can imagine. It's really awesome to see what these folks can do under these conditions. Anyway, Capt M is leaving us and he'll be missed but like I told him: "you can go with your head held high soldier because you made a difference and you will continue to make a difference throughout your career". He's in the center of the 3 good lookin guys in the pic...LOL , yeh, right Doc as they tell me...Gotta go...
