Turtle Life

Today MOT D with the PO's police NCO and OPS OFF (operations officer) went out on patrol. The rest of us stayed in, apart from visiting the OCCP meeting. We also tried to visit the new provincial governors welcoming reception, but because it was two hours delayed and because it was ill prepared from the security perspective, we decided not to participate. Our signals officer T, "The Duracell Bunny", built G4 a new pen. It's now crawling around it like crazy trying to get out, and stops only to eat and sleep. It really likes water melon and other kinds of melon, too. Isaf the puppy has not met G4, and I don't think she would be interested to. She has recently been a little bit to eager to defend the gate to our compound and has started to behave a little bit aggressively towards the children in the street. We instructed the guards to tell Isaf to behave well, but I think that they don't want to be seen relating to a dog in any way. To the locals, dogs are like insects - frightening or annoying, and better when chased away by throwing rocks.


A Hesco and ammunition boxes put to new use.
