This was an interesting lad who was hooked on my Company last year. I think the only people who knew he was telling our story was us. Hard to miss a face on a FOB the size of ours. Anyway I didn't read any of his work until tonight after one too many beers and a wondering mind and found it was interesting though it really didn't cover the most interesting parts of the deployment. Thought I'd share.
