HAPPY NEW YEAR & "Special Forces" Dan


"2011"
Happy New Year to all!  Its hard to believe that it is already 2011.  Well the new year was marked just like any other day here at FOB Shank.  There wasn't even any type of special meal.  Oh well at least the new year is underway.

"Special Forces" Dan
 Dan is a CW2 in A Co. who was previously Special Forces in his military career.  He is truly amazing.  Fluent in Russian, great with weapons, and etc.  Anyway, Dan decided to build a extra structure next to our Command Post.  From the time he recieved the "go ahead", he had a fork lift move some cargo containers, procured wood and had the 1st picture up within 5 hours all by himself with just a handsaw and a hammer.  he has since had a little help from others, but still only used a handsaw and a hammer.  The 2nd picture is the structure in progress.  next will be the roof.
