Well, I have attached a few pics from a trip I took to Pristina, Kosovo (at the Airport) today to send the previous flight surgeon home (COL Lauridsen). While at the airport, met a German Doctor who has very cool military ambulance. Here are a few pics of me standing by it and reclining in it. I sat in the driver’s seat and all I can say is very nice. Great comfort and looks easy to drive. The front four sets of wheels move in unison.

On Saturday I will go on another MEDCAPS (I have no idea what this means), but it is like a MEDRETE (Medical readiness training exercise) where we go out and provide minor medical care to the locals. I will have Albanian and Serbian interpreters. Their languages are not at all similar, so both are needed. I cannot tell Serbs from Albanians, as they look identical. The disease they have are just like what we have (no surprise). Hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, skin problems, etc.

Safe? You bet! I carry an M-16A2, so safe is a given!

Just kidding, the drivers in Kosovo are "crazY"! Pass in the wrong areas, don't stop at stop signs.

A real trip carrying a long rifle around the town. No one cares. Which is good.

Kosovo drivers sound just like Dallas drivers. But at least your in the right kind of vehicle. How long will your deployment be? And as Gary said, thanks for your service.
