Nick going to Afghanistan

We got word that Nick's orders have changed. His squadron will be leaving Iraq and going to Afghanistan where they're needed in to help support the troops. He says he's fine with it, that there hasn't been much flying time in Iraq and the time just plods along. He wants to stay busy, do what he was trained to do and get back home.

Their helicopters are currently being retrofitted with bigger engines and main rotor blades. This will give them more power and greater maneuverability for the mountainous regions they'll be flying in when they get there.

For obvious reasons, the time frame and location has not been disclosed. However, the same mailing address can be used to send him packages and letters.

Captain Turner, Nicholas A.

HMH-362

Unit 44160

FPO AP 96607
