PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — This is not war, this overwhelming humanitarian effort. But after eight years of dealing with counterinsurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan, the lessons learned there — getting into the communities to understand the people’s needs — apply here to the job of distributing food and water and providing medical help.

'dad,
Aren't you glad Sgt Mark is out of this? If you have read my most recent post you know I feel the same way. Some soldier I know said something about a Charlie Foxtrot? Wonder what that means.

In a way, yes. In a way, no. I think Mark was born for these type of missions...and missed his calling of being a medic. He diagnoses my problems much quicker than a host of high paid specialists.
Charlie Foxtrot. Is that cluster ---- :)
Best to Jacob. Hope his patience doesn't wear too thin.
'dad,
Affirmative on the Charlie Foxtrot. Still waiting as I write this. Correction as far as I know 0930 hrs this date, still waiting.
Med School....maybe?
I think the edge of the unit is starting to dull. You can't sleep in your truck 3 nights in a row waiting on a "saddle up!" Patience is not his specialty. Until then we just do what we parents do the best, wait.

I would have thought med school. But he is talking about law school...who would have thought.
We will be watching for Jacob...This is clearly Charlie Foxtrot.
CF indeed! geez people pull your heads out so the people who CAN help CAN get there TO help.....I see a lot of plexiglass being sold in the near future...
