I know that it's been a while since our last blog, and I'm sure people are wondering what's been going on. We've been busy running missions to support our role here in empowering the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and trying to settle in. We've had our patch ceremony (write-up to follow).
Today, I know that my loved ones back home have been wondering what's going on over here and whether we're all safe. After looking at the headlines for the day, I can see why. There's some frightening stuff there about what's been going on in Afghanistan.
Let me reassure you, we are all fine here. The headlines you've been hearing are not about Ghazni Province. Know that we are safe, and that if something were to happen you would not be finding out from the news.
If I may be so bold, I know what you are going through. See, I'm in a dual-military family. I've been the one left behind, wondering what's going on every time I heard one more thing on the news. In my opinion, you have the harder job right now. The only advice I can give you if you are worried is: trust us. Trust in our abilities as Soldiers, and trust our Commander to make the decision that is the best for us.
So, to all of our loved ones, stay strong! We can't wait to see you again!
