The latest picture of me - taken about this time last summer while I was in Afghanistan. In this particular picture, you see me pausing for a photo op during a mortar shoot. I have a 60mm HE (high explosive) round in my hand. Behind me is the 120mm pit, and we were preparing for a "coordinated shoot" with our mortars and the Afghan's D30 artillery.
This last weekend I finally got out of the Army National Guard - after 7 years of service.
