This was the first room I was in when I moved to Zerok... Yes,  we do live in the "cans." When we first got there, we had six in our room. And yes, those are our bunks, on my right.

Joshua Boccanfuso grew up in Warwick and Cranston, went to Cranston West HS and the culinary program at the Cranston Area Career and Technical Center. He enrolled in the Army in October of 2008. Before his July leave, he was stationed at combat outpost Zerok in Afghanistan, and endured regular mortar attacks. He is currently in transition to a new assignment. In special correspondence with GoLocalProv's Tracey Minkin, he shares his images and experiences with GoLocalProv readers. His next photo will appear on Friday.
