No awesome explosions or killing bad dudes on this video. Just a quick peek at why I love my job. See the river? That's where we started. Climbing around with over 50 pounds of gear on in the Taliban's own fighting positions is dangerous enough, yet Soldiers jump at any request for volunteers. How can you not love these guys?

It is a hell of a view, that's for certain. Just think...if there weren't a damn war going on, it'd be a hell of a place to get some hiking and camping done. :(

Stay safe friend.

@queensofbattle Yeah, but I never did a deployment! Kind of hard to get excited about people shooting blanks at you! Anyway, I'm glad you guys did the job, but glader that they finally got you out of there. In one piece.
