The Last Farewell
I transferred my mentor and advisor duties to the Air Force major next to MGen Nooristani. The AF major wanted to talk to BGen Shoutl next to me in the red beret. BGen Shoutl had some interesting stories to tell about her life. She is very courageous to just be in the Afghan National Army as woman are severely discriminated against in this society.
BGen Shoutl & AF Jag
BGen Shoutl (red beret) is an Afghan Commando with over 500 hundred parachute jumps. She gave MGen Nooristani some of his own medicine when he started teasing her. She must be a very tough woman.

Street Girl at the Bazaar
These little girls sell scarves (chador) on the street towards ISAF. My co-worker and an American who has been in country eight years were able to sponsor the the girls for the Women's Bazaar at Camp Eggers. This photo was taken just after the bazaar opened. The girls were charging twice the price what they charge on the street. When I returned at bazaar closing, most of the chador were gone. The girls had fat wallets and huge smiles. The sponsor who has been here eight years told the girls mother they had made enough to get off the street. I haven't seen them the last two weeks. Success!
