I am back at the beginning.

I just arrived at Bagram Air Field. (BAF) This is were we started our journey, back on the 30th of January. We were supposed to get on a flight at around 10PM last night, but, the CH-47 did not get there until around 3:30 AM. We finally arrived here at BAF at around 5:00 AM and I ended up going to sleep around 7:00 AM. I got up at 9 and started my day. I am now taking a little time to do somethings on line and decided to post this so you guys know what is going on.

I still have not been told where I am going. It looks like I might be able to just stay here at BAF as the company admin clerk. I would much rather do that then go out and do the mission they were talking about.

There is a lot of crap to put up with here at BAF. Like for example, at night, you have to wear a reflective belt when outside. IF you do not have one on you and visible, you get arrested and hauled down to the PMO (Provost Marshals Office) and your commander has to come bail you out and you are fined $75. That is just the most ludicrous one. there are more that I will not go into at this time.

The upside to this place is the Massage parlor, the Burger King, the Pizza Hut (and they deliver), the Subway, the Dairy Queen, and there are more. not to mention the college opportunities that are available. I hope I can stay here. We will see. I am going to try to convince my Commander that I would be a great asset here and hope he lets me stay.

Any way, for those of you that I have been calling via my sat phone. I no longer have one of those fancy little doohickeys and thus, until I get another means of Com's, I will have to just E-mail you on occasion. I will try to get another way to contact you guys as soon as possible. If I get to stay, I will get an Internet connection in my room and get a VOIP phone. I hear that they are pretty cheap.
