The Peruvian Guards

I've met some of the coolest people ever while on deployment. These are the Peruvian guards who guard the compound I work at when I'm not out on missions. They can barely speak English but they'll have a conversation with you in a hot minute. I still can't speak a lick of Spanish but I practice with them all the time. Sometimes Scotty, our supply sergeant, and I will stop and shoot the breeze with them when we aren't on a deadline for something and they keep us laughing. When it gets really hot out I make sure to bring them something cold to drink cause they stand outside all day long in the 100+ degree heat of Iraq. These are my dudes; the Peruvian Guards of Triple Canopy!
