AJ in the field

I was so excited to get this photo first thing in the morning! He looks tired and cold. It has been raining and down right cold in Southern CA the past few weeks. The funny thing about this picture is that he also sent me one from the last deployment. (See below). I just noticed yesterday that he sure has aged since the last deployment. I guess War will do that to a person. I joked with him that I actually prefer the more seasoned version. (Not sure he thought that was to funny.)
