Me at the wheel of my truck in Kabul. Photo courtesy of S.O. mslamotor16@gmail.com.Most of us were under travel restrictions for much of the past week. The demonstrations that occured in the aftermath of several military incidents caused us to stay close to the flagpole for safety sake. We celebrated the lifting of the restriction by going to the mall, stopping at 7-11 for a Slurpee, going through the car wash, and cruising the waterfront. Well, actually we were just headed to Bagram.
To answer the question: "What on Earth is he wearing?" When we leave the safety of our little home, we wear body armor. Those of you that knew me when I was a uniformed officer will remember me wearing a vest under my uniform shirt. This body armor is worn on the outside. It is capable of stopping a Mack truck and weighs about the same. On top of that is a survival vest filled with... well, survival stuff.
