Caught the Bug
I haven't been as active on here as I have in the past. Been super busy with school and my new job. I'm headed over to Afghanistan again by the months end, after I finish my training here in Melbourne, FL. I'll be in Kabul this time for my work. Good thing with my new job? It's a 90 day rotation. So no 7 month trip this time around. Hope to actually be able to get back into a JK when I return and see some of you in AZ on the trails again.
 
Ahh yes, Kabul.....the hustle and bustle of life in the big Afghan city ;)

Health clubs, with Olympic size pools and 10 meter dive platforms. (definitely not used by the Taliban For execution purposes, well probably not...)

Street attractions, like the classic "monkey chained to a wooden crate". A must see....

A 90 day gig will fly by for you, it will be so much easier than your last. Just when you get into your daily rhythm, it's time to get back on the commercial flight home. Keep us posted on your status and we will keep the trails nice and worn in for you. Take some photos if you are allowed!
 
Haha thanks Greg. That was great. I'm really looking forward to this job. Unfortunately we are not allowed to take any photographs so no pics. I won't be able to get out and see the city and sights like you did. I'll be flying into Kabul International and I'll be stuck on a very small compound there near the airport.
