Journey Through Afghanistan Is At End...

I have found out that there ain't no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.
~~~~~Mark Twain


Well... all good things must end. As it is with two of our Tech.Sgt's of the USAF who had the plan for a 30 day journey through Afghanistan. It took them a few more days than the thirty they had planned. But, with the travails of transportation in country, easily understood the delays.

I watched the video below which was posted on YouTube as well as the ISAF website. I really hated to see their journey end. I think it gave us a brief glimpse of what in actuality is happening across Afghanistan. But at least we had that glimpse, many thanks to them.

Just this past Friday, they had a DoD Bloggers Roundtable. No, I wasn't there. My need for sleep to carry me through the work night took precedence. Of course, you can find the roundtable here. Be sure to listen to the broadcast as well. Boston Maggie was one of the two bloggers who called in. Sad shame that the bigger guys in the mil-bloggers circle didn't call. I think they missed a great opportunity to ask some relevant questions of Ken and Nathan.

If you didn't follow along on Ken and Nathans' journey, please watch this last video as they wrapped up their trip. Good Job, Airmen!!





I do hope that everyone who kept up with this project have concluded from it that even though there are difficulties there, the efforts of 'Our Guys' have made a difference in the lives of the Afghan people. That's what will be remembered long after our forces are gone.



And so it goes......
