Afghanistan Day 75: NMAA (August 5)

And the first NMAA English Language Department Summer In-Service has concluded.  Whew!


 It was a sweet, rainy day.  Very polite rain, with great diffused light- a great conclusion to our training.

  1. your photographs are interesting in telling the story of life there. One gets a sense of the feeling of barrenness and loss. Papers strewn and forgotten...walls cracked...abandoned toilets along with abandoned plans of grand society. Too much to recover from. Yet there is still hope for a better day coming. Ceremonies and diplomas to keep us all moving forward. You are helping...small but memorable are your efforts. Do others seek out the culture as you do? Do enlisted personnel have access to the surrounding area that you do? Do they explore?

  3. Amazing photographs! Thanks for sharing. I want to show my children. So they may know of other's hardships and loss as well as help and hope! To know that, the giggle of a soldier in a tank, his shyness that whispers out from behind an obtrusive hostility, can still be heard, real people!
