My Life In AFGHANISTAN




Well life over here isnt at all what I had expected. The environment is so different. Everything is the same ugly color. we started off living in tents and sleeping on cots, but then we moved into buildings called cans and now we have real beds with real mattresses. and its alot less dirty. We at least have running water so I am very thankful for that.

The food is good sometimes. it seems like the longer you are here, the better it gets.

We have to walk everywhere, which isnt too bad. (at least im staying in shape)Things arent too far spread apart so it not too much of an inconvinience. Its also pointless to try and stay cleane because its just not going to happen. we have to walk through moon dust and the stuff gets EVERYWHERE!

I dont do a whole lot of work. most days are extremely boring. and its gotten to the point that the High Mars and controlled detonitions and gun fire doesnt even phase me anymore. its just a natural thing for me now.

The only thing I really hate about being over here is how much I miss my family. It was so hard to leave Tj and Emma. and now our phone over here doesnt work so i've only been able to talk to them once this month for only like 5 minutes. you never realize how good we have it until you have to leave.
