A Viewfinder in Afganistan

[Chris Cory - President 2012-14 -Life Memeber]

Be safe over there. It must suck to have come home and bought the bike and now your stuck over there again. When do you finish up over there?

[Tyson McInnes]

i have been hearing that we are going to be home in the middle of january so not to much longer. but i am going to be moving still and i really dont know what the adress is cause noone has told me what it is so im in the dark on that just for the fact that things change so much fo us. but once i find these things out ill inform everyone what it is when i get it. and just so people know they are going to cut off mail around mid december cause thats when we start to get ready to go home.

Ty, us know your new mailing address, I have a bunch of magazines for you and Jeremy. Terry and Cynthia gave me a stack this weekend and I still have some from Bob, will split them up for you guys.

Do we have a current address for Jeremy? I know he came home but I assume he went back. I have a large stack of mags and would like to split them up between them.

[Tyson McInnes]

so i have been hearing that the address is wrong now and we are going to be somewhere else. once i get this new address i will forward it to everyone or just let you all know if this is the right address that i posted before.

Come on!  That sounds like an embarrassing story.  Spill it!

[Tyson McInnes]

alright this is what happened....... i was cleaning the inside of my truck out (yes dad i was actually cleaning something dont have a heart attack) and i had to get some grenades from under the seat and i had the mount for our .50 cal machine gun on top of the rear ac/heater unit. and attached to mount was the ammo cage for holding the ammo cans. well i lifted up the mount and cage and leaned it over onto the internal fire suppression system and was leaning over to get more stuff under the seat when the cage fell and nailed me dead center on the top of my head. i didnt even know i was bleeding till i put my hand on my head and noticed it was covered in blood and blood started to run down my forehead. and then i got 3 staples in my head. and i still have all my hair. none got shaved off. almost lost it though.
