Today is my first full day where I will be stationed for the duration of my deployment. Today it reached 105 by 10:00 am. We haven't begun working yet, right now we are just getting accustomed to the area and the climate. Today however we did get the opportunity to eat the the Afghanistan Army dinning facility. The food wasn't bad, we had lots of rice, flat bread, corn and potatoes, green beans, watermelon and goat. The hardest part of the meal was eating with my hands. They have untensils but they do not get cleaned well so unless you bring your own you eat with your hands. I was actually surprised with the food. Yesterday we actually had a great lunch for the 4th. Made me feel like I was back home, other than there was no fireworks and I wasn't with Cassie it was a good day. We should get started working very soon and hopefully time will go quick then. The bad thing about this place is that there isn't a lot to do for fun, there is no PX or chapel. Once in a while there is a chaplain that comes in but not very often. When we need something from the px we will have to convoy to the nearest base. But on the bright side I won't have those temptations to buy things and I should be able to save some money.
