Today was a national holiday in Afghanistan. They celebrated Victory Day, which signifies the victory over the Soviet Union by the Mujaheddin. Because it is a mujaheddin celebration, all the security authorities were on full alert. Ordinary people had a day off, and so did most of us, too. The MOT's were out on routine patrols to the districts, and we had a visit by a delegation of OMLT (operative mentoring and liaison team) members from Camp Mike Spann. There were Finns, Swedes, Norwegians, Croatians and Macedonians. They had a camp walk, enjoyed lunch, and I gave them the usual briefing. The PO staff also had some training today: First some medical training in case of a car accident, and then an introductory course about the new water system.
It was a hot and sunny day, but by nightfall clouds appeared and it started to rain a little.
