Finally, A Way Ahead...

Well, I am not the type of person that likes to sit around.  So, as you can imagine, the last 3-4 days of uncertainty has been very frustrating to me -- although I did get a lot of gym/bazaar time.  Anyway, I finally have a way ahead, and I am pretty excited about the assignment.  I will be staying in Bagram, and I will be moving into a permanent party room over the next couple days.  So, I am excited to finally have a place to (fully) unpack, settle and get on with work. 

The experience here, so far, has been great.  I really enjoy the people I work with and the exposure to the locals (although small right now) is really unique.  I should have the opportunity to travel a bit, and I am excited about the opportunity to break up the daily grind.

I have not had the chance to take a ton of pics yet, but I will do my best to get the camera out and about -- it will be much easier when I get my laptop out here as well.  The one thing I cannot complain about are the options to keep in touch with my family.  They have gone out of their way to ensure we have access to our family and friends back home -- it is a lot different than my tour to Iraq in 2005.
