Well, I'm in Kabul. I'm at the Kabul International Airport. I'm not sure when I'm going to get to NKC. The roads are black so they can only drive during certain times. Therefore, until they can get a truck up here, myself and the other guys I came with are hanging out in an Alaska tent. (I'll post pictures as soon as I can for those that aren't sure what that means.) It could be worse. It could be a WHOLE lot better, but it could be worse. There's... umm..... there's heat!! That's a positive.
The plane I was trying to make out of Kuwait was leaving early. We had to be in the tent at 0330 for role call. Mike and I decided to stay up all night rather than risk sleeping through the alarms so we hung out at the MWR, got some McDonalds around 1:30, drank a lot of coffee. We made the flight though. We got into Bagram a few hours later and I was afraid I might be in Bagram for a few days. I'd heard of that happening a lot lately, mostly due to weather. Fortunately, there was a flight just a few hours later. I made it onto that and after a 15 minute hop over a mountain landed in Kabul.
It's colder than Kuwait was. It's not too bad though.
I really just want to get to the base. This transient thing sucks. I just want to be able to finally set my bags down, unpack them and not even think about them anymore.
I'm tired, so this is a boring post. As I said, I'll get some pictures. Maybe after I sleep I'll get more humor back too.

I'll send you some pre-workout once you get settled in!
