Day Off

I went to Kandahar Air Field (KAF) today. Two new guys flew in yesterday and needed to retrieve their passports, I needed to get some paperwork notarized, and another guy wanted to go bird watching at a pond on the base.

My PSD and I probably spent an hour just trying to find the JAG office. Once we did, a short wait was all it took. We ended up in the main drag where all the shops and food shops are. I picked up a few needed things from the American PX, and got a sandwich at KFC on the boardwalk.

Several franchises have opened up restaurants in this little “town square”. This American capitalism may have caused political problems in the past, but I have to admit that it sure is nice to have a little Americana, and forget were I am for a little wile. After lunch and about a 30 minute wait for our PSD, it was back in the body armor and hardcar to our compound.

When I got back to my “apartment”, I turned on CNN just in time to see Kate and Harry get hitched.

  1. Wow, you really are in a foreign land. Kate married William every place else in the world!!!!!

    Think I'll check into getting a Whataburger franchise for over there. When KFC looks good, there's room to make some money!!!
