Being in Afghanistan you meet so many people both old and new. In the first picture is Adam Houghtaling. We completed Basic Training together along with Warnie in 2000. We spent time together when I first got here and then we are running into each other all the time. Last time I seen him was here at the Market. Its good to see those people again and it makes you realize how small the world really is.The New...........The British Oral Surgeon. He is a wonderful man, very well mannered and I tell ya he knows his shit. Facial trauma is nothing to him. He was very patient with me the first time we worked together.What I would call a scalpel or a 15 blade he calls a knife. Mosquito forceps to me are snappers to him. Its really interesting that instruments are called so many different names so that will take some adjusting to.....There is a retactor that he just called a tongue retactor but us Canadians call it a sweetheart retactor..............He is taking that name back home with him.
So all in all we both learn from each other and that is an experience of a lifetime. I am really enjoying the ability to work with different nations and take a little bit from everyone and share it with my home.
Peace out
