Day 76: Fail

Dan is off on a mini "business trip" for the next few days to a different base in Afghanistan. Last night he sent me this picture with the following caption - "Out on a foot patrol meeting the locals." That compelled me to write this note...

Dearest husband, 

I know you are bored. I know you want to get out and see something new. Remember, there are very dangerous things (read: IED's and Lord knows what else) hiding in the dirt. Please, go back to your heavily armed vehicle with safety detail, put on your seat belt and patiently wait to head back to base. NOW MOVE IT!

Sincerely, 
Your loving wife
