I had the opportunity to do some interesting 'stuff' outside from my regular duties and away from the relative safety of Kandahar Airfield.
Most declined the offer due to the higher threat levels, but I wanted to experience something a bit different.
I took my new camera which I was happy with - a Panasonic Lumic LS3. Nice results for less than £100.
I gave a mate a few lessons on the camera's settings and composition so he could take some shots of me.
A bit of a contrast from planted tanks... 8)
Me on the ramp of an armoured vehicle
Me (right) and a couple of lads. 50+C and in full kit...
Me hydrating. I went though about 9 litres of water in 10 hours...
Me shooting on the range
Three of the lads
Armoured vehicles
My boots and my rifle (left)
From inside armoured vehicle
Mounted on vehicle...
