Two U.S. Marines attacked by Porcupines

Djibouti, Africa - Two U.S. Marines were attacked by porcupines during a training exercise. The two accidentally stepped in a hole in the ground full of porcupines and freaked them out. The injuries reported were minor.

Why does this stuff always happen on my duty?

Anaka @ 4 Months

Anaka in a Bib
Be happy :)

Life in Djibouti is okay. There is a lot to do here. I've been going to indoc all this week and they've been telling us why we are here. We are a force to assist countries in the Horn of Africa(HOA). We do this by building them schools, vaccinating their goats, building wells and whatever they may need. They say that Djibouti is where the cradle of life for human beings began, however they haven't progressed much after that. I plan on climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro if at all possible and help with civic projects and at the orphanages.
