Thanks to the Yahoo Afghanistan group we have some new Tips from the Field to share
Be sure to put your best foot forward
remember to bring both winter and summer foot gear.
Raindrops keep falling on my head...
An umbrella would have been very useful.
You're going poke your eye out...........
Goggles; I prefer to have a pair of goggles and a nice pair of polarized sunglasses. You'll understand why goggles are nice the first time you are waiting to board a helo and a blast wave of dirt, rocks and dust pummels you while the helo is landing. Also great for dust storms. I've been happy with the ESS advancers. They come with 3 different lenses so you can wear the clear ones at night, they have a nice speed bag, they fit over a helmet, they provide ballistic protection from shrapnel, and they pop open to de-fog.
Stay tuned.....more tips tomorrow.
Did you find these helpful? Do you have some tips you can share?
