What is your son saying about things over there?

He's on the frontline. There's been no communication.( By the way, no news is good news) From the few news articles I've read about the 1/5 ,it's hard work. Patrolling night and day. Digging in. Hauling supplies (as we used to say, "beans, bullets and bandaids"). Burning crappers. Filling sandbags. Briefings. Watches at night. 2 MREs a day. No telephones or computers. This is a Marine infantry battalion on the line.
