As Christmas and New Year's approach, the business of the FOB continues. Flight operations are ever present. Convoys arrive and leave. Maintenance, resupply, construction and training are ongoing and never ending. Nevertheless, holiday spirit is apparent. Here are some images that show that deployment has not turned us into Scrooges.
