think this one is now officially the longest. This is such a long
time to be in a foreign country (that sucks). But the end is in
sight. I believe we'll be leaving here in 32 days, and should arrive
home about a week later.
This morning I got all suited up in my body armor and combat shirt and
went with a volunteer group to bring supplies to an orphanage. It
felt more like we were giving to a charitable organization who then
distribute to the local orphanages, but it was still a good cause. We
loaded and unloaded a rather large box truck, which was a good
workout. When we arrived at the location, we realized that about 50%
of the boxes still had customs forms and addresses on them. Since we
don't give anything like that to the locals, a large group of us took
our knives and cut addresses off the boxes. That was pretty time
consuming. We also didn't take the body armor off at all, so I was
completely soaked in sweat by the time we made it back to Eggers. Not
too much fun. But it was for a good cause.
I also had a video teleconference this afternoon, which wasn't too
productive. My upcoming trip still hasn't resolved their flight
issues, so that'll be interesting. I almost think they won't make it
to Kabul, but we shall see. I feel like I should at least meet one of
them, since they've been such a pain in the butt so far. As far as
the meeting went, I butted heads with an Army Reserve Colonel, and I
was pretty amused. Certainly not my favorite person, but I haven't
been afraid of confrontation lately. So she's probably not too happy
with me.
Another day done. Tomorrow should be a pretty normal day. My suit
might even be ready. Good night.
