Today we went to a graduation ceremony at the Biometrics office. They were graduating about 20 new fingerprint examiners. It's a fairly involved 4 week course. The instructor is an American contractor with a long history of teaching this course. They are given examinations and are kicked out if they fail. I think they only lost two students. So, it was a great accomplishment for these young police officers. And they were very proud. They all held up their certificates and said something patriotic sounding in Dari.
Here's a picture from the day before. From left to right: me, Sgt Jackson (the senior enlisted in the Biometrics group), Samey (a afghan that works around the Biometrics office) and Maj Perez (the new Air Force guy that is taking over from Jeff as the Biometrics OIC).
Here's a picture of Gen Macdonald talking during the graduation ceremony. I'm sitting in the front to the left.
