A couple of days ago we were lucky enough to host ADM Greenert, Fleet Forces Command, for a quick visit. He held an all-hands call where he seemed genuinely interested in what we had to say about the IA process, our training prior to arriving in Afghanistan, and generally anything that wasn't working the way it is supposed to. He walked away with quite a few look-ups but was very gracious throughout the meeting. ADM Greenert was the 7th Fleet Commander when I was with Submarine Group 7 in Yokosuka, so this was not the first time I've met him - and he doesn't seem to have changed at all. :)
We've had a lack of cute critter sightings lately, then all of a sudden today there were three. :) This pretty tabby was waiting for us to come back to our vehicle at the Ministry.
This kitty didn't feel much like posing, but I couldn't get over how white his (her?) coat is - how he/she keeps looking that good with all of the Kabul dirt and mud is beyond me...
Finally, this kitty we actually found outside our office. We're not supposed to feed any animals on the base, but it's very tempting! We're guessing she's a mom cat but that's purely a hunch. She does like to "talk" quite a bit though!
Last but not least a funny picture to leave you with... we managed to find peace in Afghanistan! OK, so it was upside down, but there's no denying it's there! I snagged this picture on our way back to the base today. No idea what's really in the box. :)
A quick special "shout out" to my new pen pal Samantha - thanks for the picture!
