    Back from Afghanistan

    Flew the last missions over Iraq, then moved my focus to Afghanistan. It's quite cold over there this time of year, especially up north!

    It feels GREAT to be back in Philly! REAL FOOD! Same amount of gunfire! Trees! Water! Diving! Late-night-bike-rides!

    I'll probably be deploying again this year (such is life), but if I get lucky I won't leave until after summer... I'd love to get in some significant diving this year. Lotta wrecks to get to.

    Anyways, if you were bored and felt like watching, I made a short video of what I was up to over there. It's a preview of a documentary I'm working on, using footage shot onboard.
    Think of it as... a flying music video.

    (recommend 720p or 1080p, fullscreen)

    Just figured I'd keep you all updated. Hope everyone is having an amazing winter. Feel free to leave feedback or whatever.


    Anyone else deploy recently / going to deploy?

    Welcome back Eff!

    I just got home yesterday! I'll be going back also.....while I'm home it'll be a day of local skiing, a ski trip to Hokkaido, dry suit purchase, some local diving, some other activities, drinking Guiness (including the one in my hand now)...before I head back......sometime this year.

    Take care. Stay safe.

    That's cool; looks like you're stationed in Japan. Can only imagine how nice it is there (diving, mountains, etc). Jealous!
