Promotion in Afghanistan

SGT Kalfman got promoted to Staff Sergeant today.  It's a big promotion for him, and we are all very proud and happy for him.  I have known SSG Kalfman since he was a PFC, so it was nice to see him pin on E-6.  He has a come a long way!

Sorry for slacking on the blog lately, but not too many exciting things happen around here, and I have really run out of things to talk about.  Trying to stay focused and not miss home too much.  I know we are in the home stretch, but days are starting to feel like eternities around here.

Here are some pictures from his promotion ceremony.
