The Squirrel Connection

Hello again everyone from the big Sandbox thousands of miles away from home. Today we have more pictures of Nuts, the Secret Squirrel, and the op he went out on. If you haven’t been introduced to Nuts yet, skip down one post then read this one.

This picture shows how overconfident Nuts is when going into battle. He actually thought he was going to use MY gun station on this op. He was corrected.

This is Nuts as seen through my NVGs. This was once the op was concluded. Sorry, no live pictures of our work can get out, otherwise you would see Nuts in all his stealth-ninja-but-part-Rambo glory.

I didn’t want to throw too much at the little guy too fast too soon, so when we went out the following night, I made him stay back on firewatch. He was a little peeved, but, he got over it. We went and had breakfast the very next morning.

As you can see, Nuts enjoys peanut butter toast just as much as I do.

Well, my eye is getting better. I’m going to brave it and go out on an op. Hopefully all goes well. It still looks horrendous and my vision in my eye is kinda cloudy, but, I’m no slacker. Besides, our boat crew is a team, if they go out, I go out.

Thanks for the emails wishing me a happy birthday, I do appreciate it. I’m 24 now…. with two years left on my degree. I’ll have to get crackin’ when I get back. The world waits for no one.

Love you all. Keep spirits high and don’t stop praying!
