Hey everybody!
Sorry for the long delay. I have been swamped with the move to Bagram.
Bagram Air Field that is. I am surprised at how small this base is, area wise. I had supper last night with two F-15 pilots, 1st Lt's Arrow and Joker. After explaining how thrilling,we,on the ground, found their Combat takeoffs. I asked them what the elevation at the airfield was. Turns out to be 5000'. This place sits on alluvial deposits eroded from the surrounding rugged Snow-capped peaks of the Hindu Kush. A former Soviet base, it is still littered with the detrius and debris of its former incarnation, and that includes about a million Mines still on base and in the area.
The Good? much cooler temps and some mountains to look at, not to mention a lot of cute chicks running around.
The Bad? Primative living conditions and an even MORE BORING job than I had before.

Evan Almighty
Evan Almighty, I have seen the trailers, I have NOT seen the movie. I will pick it up in bootleg form when I get to Iraq.
It has rained here every day but three this month. This constant rainfall makes it extremely difficult to practice my trade.
It has also submerged 12 vehicles in our overflow lot, here behind the Swamp.
The Swamp? pray tell unkawill, what is the Swamp?
The Swamp is my office/warehouse space,upstairs on a split level 10,000 sf corrugated tin building, downstairs is a three bay garage suitable for working on big rigs and any other vehicles for that matter.
Fully equipped with 2 hydraulic hoists, pneumatic system, welding gear, presses, and special tools.
Amenities include, pool table, dart board, tv,stereo, internet,refrigerators microwave and BBQ pit.
Friends and family visit often.
