One of the few places to get shade while outside is under the parachute put up as a shade canopy in the courtyard. When we arrived at FOB Connelly this was drooping down and its ropes would come loose once in a while and need repair. For a few days, it was taken completely down while a center pole was constructed and a hole dug to put it up in. We came back from a mission to find the parachute back in its place but more secure than ever, and stretched tight enough that it no longer drooped down or tossed around in a breeze. It is improvements like this that upgrade the FOB and makes me feel like this place is getting better. It is one thing to clean the house, but quite another to make an actual improvement.
