Made it to Afghanistan (April 4th)

Made it to Afghanistan Thursday morning. Spent one night in a tent with over 100 dudes and back in the air today for a whopping 26mile flight up and over a mountain. After one week of traveling as of right now, my team and I have had exactly 3 opportunities to lay down for a night of sleep...it is pretty interesting what the body is capable of. Last night we slept in the big tent at Bagram Air Field (BAF). It is a huge Coalition compound with all sorts of people walking around. I saw Auzies, New Zealanders, French, Italians, and many, many government contractors. Met a few guys from LA who were building and maintaining some sort of armored vehicle for troops. No starbucks at BAF, but they did have a Popeyes and a "Green Bean" coffee shop that was OK. BAF was a rainy, muddy mess, but less dusty than Kuwait. The place where I am staying tonight and the next few days actually had snow today. We are at the headquarters for the Multi National Forces in charge of training and mentoring Afghan Security forces for the next few days for the last bit of admin and briefs before heading out to the different regions. Take Care. Bryson
