Friends and Family,

Once again, the Deuce has changed bases and is on our own! After linking up with Lima Company in Jalalabad a couple of weeks ago, our platoon got orders to re-locate to a small base. We're about 80 km east of Jalalabad and about 2 km west of the Pakistan border. Right now, we're working with the Army and doing missions near the Pakistan border. It will be an exciting and eventful way to end our deployment to Afghanistan.

As a heads-up, we are still receiving mail sent to our original address. Luckily, it has managed to find its way to wherever we have ended up. As of about a week ago, mail will no longer be sent to us since our deployment is coming to an end. All mail sent after the stoppage will be in Hawaii when we return. Speaking of our return, 3/3 is still scheduled to be home in the middle of June (probably closer to the third week of the month).

I'll try to keep updates coming and even some pictures if I am able. Take care.

Semper Fi,
2ndLt Luke Lazzo
