Crafting in Afghanistan?

I must be rubbing off on him...some manly jewelry designs in the works!
Before Steve left for Afghanistan, when we were visiting him in Virginia, I went to an Army Surplus store and got him a huge spool of parachute cord...this is some of what he has done with it. Very crafty...manly bracelets.

I love his plain phone! No frills but it has kept us in touch and that is priceless.
In a recent email he mentioned completing an intense medic course that will certify them in (CLS) Combat Life Saving. I think they had to give each other IVs!
More soon...

  6. Steve, I didn't know you were so clever with knots etc. That's pretty cool stuff. Your friends have some cool ideas for your parties when you get back home. Love, Mom
