Officially, this post will be the last I write about a mission. I have learned that the last mission (referenced in my previous post) was literally my last adventure outside the wire. It was a fitting way to leave Afghanistan, being both successful, though not as eventful as the run before (both went to FOB Dwyer, widely considered one of the most dangerous runs in Helmand Province). Of course, the previous run was a bit bloody, but this one was not entirely without action either. It actually seemed like they had us for a second, but of course they didn't, and in the end they regretted their arrogance. All in all, it was a good mission to finish the deployment with. In a way I guess it reflects my time in Afghanistan well. Now I just need to start saying goodbye to this place I will never return to.
