Afghanistan bound!

[NightTrain]

Just got a call today from the boss wanting to know if I'd go with a crew to Kabul to set up a new telco operation over there... 3 months on, 3 months off, 6 days a week as many hours per day as you can.

There's some big money involved in a job like that, I told him I'm in.

Will find out for sure if we're going in the next month or so, but it looks pretty solid.

Do you take your own weapons????? Do they supply you with bullet proof vest????

Keep your head down.

If you have internet be sure to let us know how things are going. It's always informative to get a first hand account of situations.

Iraq as a civilian contractor maybe. Afghanistan, NO F'KIN way regardless of much $$$ !!!!!

Keep us all informed, Rick. I'm sure this decision isn't taken lightly!

[Kathianne]

Prayers go with you! Please be careful, Afghanistan is not a safe neighborhood.

[SassyLady]

maybe you and dmp can get together while you're over there!

Be safe and keep in touch!

Weather will be quite different ... hope you can tolerate the heat.

lol no. I'm just a telecom guy. I understand there is security provided, whether it's U.S. Military or private security I don't know yet.

One of those guys that got their heads sawed off on video a while back was a telecom guy. For some reason he gave his security the slip and went out to experience the Baghdad night life... he paid the ultimate price for that stupidity.

Where we go, internet quickly follows... that's what we do!
It should indeed be interesting... and let's hope not too damn interesting.

God be with you, Nighttrain.

Thanks Abbey.

We won't be out in the boonies, Mr. P... this should all be on our different bases.

Keep us all informed, Rick. I'm sure this decision isn't taken lightly!

It's not, Jim. But coming out of this nasty divorce is perfect timing nail a big job, get re-established, buy a house and get all my toys back!

Prayers go with you! Please be careful, Afghanistan is not a safe neighborhood.

Thanks, Kathi. I know it's not 100% safe, but we'll not be away from the Good Guys. Got lots of Army & Marines all around the area there.

maybe you and dmp can get together while you're over there!

Be safe and keep in touch!

I think Darin said he was going to Iraq... I may be wrong, though.

The heat will suck, for sure. I imagine it'll take me a couple months to adjust.

may god be watching out for you and keep you safe

amen

Best of wishes NightTrain, maybe you can get a ride in one of those beautiful B-1s.
