Been here, done this...

On deck at Manas. We landed at dawn, local, almost exactly 24 hours after we left Miramar. It was reportedly 10 below (Fahrenheit, but does it really matter once you get into negatives?) as we deplaned but it seems to have warmed up from arctic to merely frigid.

Best I could do from a moving bus.

Does not do this morning's sunrise justice.

Though it's not Afg yet, walking around this place again is like revisiting a familiar dream. Leatherneck should be downright surreal.

 Manas, just now.

Looks like we may get out of  here earlier than anticipated.  Can't post specific dates/times, theoretically for opsec but in reality because no one knows anything.  More to follow...

ps EM/RM, nice place.  love the video.
