 Last year was a very hectic time, very dangerous. Adams and several other 3-6 Marines were in Marja a year ago, giving them a unique perspective during their current deployment under Regional Combat Team 1 in the same area. This year it's a lot more relaxed, a lot more calm. Everything seems to be going well and security seems to be great. For some, it's familiar places remembering how they once were or signs of exchanging cash instead of gunfire. Marine Sergeant Andrew Milner, forward operating base Marja, Afghanistan.
