Things have been busy lately. There was bad VBIED the other day that killed a few Americans. It had been a while since Americans were killed in Kabul. The attack occurred on the road to Camp Julian where I did the marksmanship training on April 7th.

Also, the internet was really slow for the last couple of days. Something to do with the attack on Bagram air base.

Yesterday morning my directorate held a ceremony to honor two people that died from an IED a year ago:

So there's been lots of activity. Things are probably picking up now because of the Peace Jirga. I still feel pretty safe. The only threat to me are the VBIEDs, which seem more or less random. So statistically I don't really have a reason to be concerned.
