He's not over there.

So for those of you who remember me from around a year ago and from the old 401 days...... I am officially back in the states. 10 months overseas fighting the insurgency and I can tell you all diffinitively, Derek is not in afghanistan. I've searched the mountains and the valleys, villages and borders (pun not intended). By helicopter, truck and foot I've searched the barren, mine covered wasteland and found nothing. I've come to the conclusion that my trip to afghanistan was a fruitless endevour. Now I return, weary from roads, trails and skies long traveled to continue the hunt for our missing comrade. I've missed a great deal so it might take me some time to catch up, however I will prevail. I will find you Derek. We will find you.
