I'm gonna run out of words that rhyme with "post".
Well, I was gonna post the other day about going outside the camp. That was fun. But I'll probably have to censor all of that.
We did a whole tour of the base on Tuesday, drove through some parts where on either side there was signs for old mines. The Russians left everything mined so parts of the base are a little dicey, but that's pretty far from where everything is. There's also thousands of unmarked graves outside the fence, which is kinda crazy. Apparently the indigenous still come and maintain them, at least some of them.
Work has been getting better, it's busy, then nothing for stretches of time, but that's good because 12 straight hours of sitting at a computer would kill me faster than an Afghan bullet. It's freezing in the workspace, so that sucks. Some of the stuff we do is really cool...some of it is...boring.
Definitely love the mountains around here, but hate the sand and dust. It sucks. But the sky and mountains are gorgeous. Saw a few blades of grass on our trip out but that was about it.
Planes take off all the time, and the jets are deafening, but I think it's kinda cool.
Played basketball last night in a tournament, just asked as many guys as I could until someone let me play. I'm a bit rusty and I didn't have any shoes, because my trunk hasn't arrived yet.
Played Halo with Josh and Drew this morning at about 8 am local time, that was awesome. Connection was terrible, but felt like being back home. Will try and do that some more.
If you want to get a hold of me, email my gmail, benjamin.hinders@gmail.com. I'm pretty good about checking it.
Will post when I can.
Ben
