You can also get a sat. map of Korengal Valley area by typing in Korengal Valley, Afghanistan on a Google Map search engine.

I hope this helps, door

You will always have a fan club here.  These are great people, with a lot of knowledge.  I have been blessed to make some really good friends.  Keep us posted on everything.  Thank you again for your service.  God Bless you always.

 You will get many "I agree with Diana" s.   lol      Fan Club?   My dear, we owe you, your comrades, and all your family and friends a debt we will never be able to fully repay.  Some of us are family of deployed warriors, some are former military families, some have no direct connections, but all care dearly and want all of you to never doubt there are people that know the sacrifices you all make for the benefit of all of us.    We have a good time, too.   We really are a lot of caring fun loving people.   So, yes keep in touch with "your fan club".

 Hey, I haven't heard anything lately, but there was some trouble with the USB virus for a while, and they limited downloading pictures with flash drives, or directly through the USB ports.    You might want to check all that out before you leave.     We're getting pictures, now; but, it's one of those things you might need to check.

Greg, So good to see you here. Each year we hope y'all will find us early so we can get about helping out as early as possible! Also, i sent a message to your inbox.... Shelly

 Hey ManchuMile, I'm in 2nd PLT in the Korangal Valley, good to see that at least some of you are getting active in the anysoldier world. We had it pretty rough with supplies and *** the first couple months, but thanks to anysoldier we'll have plenty of random food and stuff waiting for you guys. My email is sally11b@gmail.com, so just send me a message with any questions or anything you have.

got a chuckle out of one of the photo descriptions: "The outpost is provisioned with items found in many US supermarkets, like Mountain Dew, Marlboros and Chips Ahoy cookies"

HAHAHAHAHA, provisioned by who? the Army? HAHAHAHA! more like care packages from the US and AnySoldier! LMAO
