Yea we had the ANA guys with us. The ones attached to us had some type of accident with an RPG but I can’t remember all the details. They were definitely a sketchy bunch to be around.
Saw our Colonel on 60 minutes a few weeks back. Frank McKenzie. General now and had a hand in killing Al Bahgdadi and Solemeini in recent years which was pretty cool to see.

And the most hardcore tough SOB first sergeant we had tracking Santa Clause at NORAD as a Sergrwnt Major which was pretty mind blowing.

Got it Oruzgan, north of Kandahar. Thanks. So you were maybe in the first operation there.

I asked because while reading your post I was thinking of Afghan nationals in the DFACs of various bases and how their absence of safety practices raised eyebrows and generated complaints. I don't like an AK jabbing my back while I am in lunch line. Especially after stories about accidental discharges. At Shank they were sequestered inside their own wire and barred from all other coalition DFACS and exchanges.  Americans and other allies (Czech, Jordanian) were required to carry weapons everywhere in case of attack. Afghans' guns were locked down while they were on base, as far as I could see. (Though that wasn't just about weapons safety.)

(Great video of SGM Mckenna. What happened to his neck?)
