Nice photos. Did the Active Duty hit the sandbox as well?

Headkicker what Branch are you if I may ask?

To answer the previous question...yes the AD is the Busse that I chose to use this tour. It is always on me. I am fortunate to own a number of Busse blades, but I have found that a small one like the AD gets much done for its small size. With all the kit we have, every pound counts. The sheath is made by Okuden.

With respect to what Branch I am with....I am on the DEA's FAST team. We operate as a team, attached to some of the finest USMIL groups in theater, targeting the counter narcotics threat that is intertwined and comingled amongst the Taliban and counter terrorist operations. We are a very small unit and very few people have any idea who we are or what our agency is doing with respect to narco-terrorism. I could not be prouder or have a greater sence of accomplishment as a result of what we are able to do here, and who we are able to work with.
 
Wow. I didn't know the DEA was involved in Afganistan. Good for you guys. I understand convincing the farmers to stop growing poppy and pot and growing food stuffs is a big challange. Best of luck to you and your team.

Respectfully James, farmers and poppy growing is related to nation building, crop selection and erradication. We have absolutely nothing to do with that. We action interdiction, cache sites, laboratory, and HVT capture missions. With but ten of us in the country at one time, our efforts are effectively targeted at the narco-terrorist threat, and the organizations that most threaten both our country and Afghanistan. I write this as a clarification because everyone who hears about us, but is unaware of our actual operations, incorrectly assumes we are pulling up poppy plants or giving presentations to the villages like a D.A.R.E. officer.
 
HK, thanks for your service.

I'm sure that, given the amount of money flowing through those labs/HVT's, they don't simply roll over and say uncle when strangers show up.

Keep safe.

Sorry about that. I'm familair with the type of operations the local law enforcement agencies do and equatied the DEA with that on a grand scale. Thanks for setting me straight.

Absolutely no reason to apologize and I did not mean to sound like a pr1ck. I only meant to explain.

You didn't sound like a pr1ck. More like somebody who has had to explain something for 1000+ time and is a little exsasperated. It happens to all of us. No worries I've got thick skin. I really did appreciated the info and having my incorrect perception changed. I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong. (Don't tell my wife) I'm even capable of apologizing when necessary.

Good Luck and Godspeed.
 
I have a S.P.O.T. red dot ordered.

At some point, probably an Aimpoint.

I almost broke down and bought the Aimpoint the other night.
 
Wow that's nice as well! Tell me about the flash hider (for lack of a better term). What does it do?
 
Ok... sorry I didnt have any INFI in the pic... but here's a pretty hot little number!
