Rain's Pictures

As a kid, I loved to look at my father's old pictures from when he was in the Army. I deployed to Iraq in 08-09, and did not have a camera to take any pictures. After I returned home, I met an amazing woman who was raising a daughter, Tera, on her own. I ended up marrying that woman, and she gave birth to our son, Cameron, in 2010. I realised at that point that I would like to have pictures to show my kids all the amazing things that I was able to see. If you all would allow me to indulge a little, I'd like to share some of the pictures I've taken from Afghanistan and life back in the states. I am by no means a great photogropher, so please don't expect too much! I also won't show some of my favorite pictures due to Operational Security concerns (base layouts and the like.) Thank you for reading all that! Me on the left. image

    I will not get into politics but I have to say Afgans make beautiful handcrafted decors. They have a history to be the trader from Anatolia to Japan. Those are beautiful pieces of art. Thanks for sharing.

    Haha, no. Everyone hates you when you have have a beard and they can't. I miss it though, maybe when I want to launch my pirate career I'll grow it again.

    That's when I'm supposed to start at Gonzaga. I got accepted to the school, waiting for the Nursing dept o.k. In 2 years ill have a BSN. Congrats for making it in, not easy but should be very rewarding.

    Jim and James, please let me clarify. I'm going to AIT Jim, where they will give me a new job. We just call that school, which is in no way a real school like Gonzaga. Congrats to you though! Sorry for the confusion.

    I knew what you meant, but was curious if it was something you were doing at Hood or another base.

    I wanted to make sure Jim was not confused! Him going to school is much more prestigious then me going to "school." It's in San Antonio.
