Jennifer: Our troops had already left the base. I'm going to email you a report someone sent to me on my Current News account. I hope you can play it. You might want to call the Navy Dept and see if they can provide you with info on Juan.

Dean: Just go to my answer to Jennifer in this same link to my blog. A guy said the U.S. troops had abandoned the base.

Hi Bill and Jennifer. Not sure which base is being shown in the video but my father just wrote me back from the FOB Sharana and said that everything is absolutely fine there.

Bill Corcoran said...

Hi Dean: Glad to hear that. They had the wrong info on the video.

Don't worry, this is not FOB Sharana. This is an abandoned outpost, can't remember the name of it right now. I'm headed for Sharana, I can assure you that it is still there.

Patrick: Thanks for the update and thanks for your service to our country.

Hi every one!
My husband came home on RnR and is now travelling back to Afgh. He's in Bagram and was just told that his company moved to Sharana while he was on leave.
Does anyone know if they have MWR tents there with internet access in them?? Do they have decent phone service with good signal reception?? Im just so worried because everything I read concerning Sharana is about being attacked :(
Thanks for yr answers !

I will see what I can find out about FOB Sharana and the questions you asked. I did hear a few weeks ago that things are quiet at the base and this came from a soldier in country.
