We are an Embedded Training Team helping to train the Afghan National Army. We spend short times on established bases but find ourselves mostly in the hinterlands. Our situation changes daily but at our best we have electricity, laundry and the means to cook food. At our worst we have camping stoves and whatever we can carry in our packs, sometimes my Marines will go months without a shower. We are from all over the United States but have strong representation in the South, I am from Georgia, and California. Thank you for all that you do.

Semper Fidelis,
Capt Freeman
