Les is a national treasure when it comes to Afghanistan.

He once got lost between my house in DeRidder and Fort Polk for some 3 hours--went almost over to Beaumont and then Alexandria. Something of a record I think.

I got your award--need snail mail address. Send it via PM or email. And yes I want someone there to present it so it cannot be your address...

I read several of his FMSO/CALL publications. One of my favorites was Artillery and Counterinsurgency: The Soviet Experience in Afghanistan

That said, seems funny that an individual who wrote in grave detail about Soviet arty got lost finding your house.

For anyone else interested, there's a virtual ton of FMSO/CALL products here

Tony,
Congrats on the award ! Tom was always kinda like that with award presentations - It's like he can tell you're squirming in your seat

He found my house. Getting back to Polk proved difficult.

Hell sometimes I can't find my a$$ or so the wife says.

Personally I never get lost--I always know where I am cause that's where I am standing. Now the "where" part can be difficult but I am a long time student of the big-hand, little map technique.
