greetings from Kyrgyzstan
 

im at an air force base here in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. we landed yesterday and should be flying into Afghanistan on Saturday. Pretty interesting here. There are like 300 of us in one huge tent structure in bunk beds, About half are flying out tonight, but of course my company gets to go last. I'll be back online a few times while im still here before saturday. then maybe a few more times while at the air base in afghanistan before we head out to our FOB. there are rumors that they are working on getting wireless interet out at out FOB, that would be nice.

Tsar... where the hell am i? we have one russian in our company and we joke that he'll go awol and head to the russian army base about 40 miles away from here. lol.

:usa: Good luck out there man, glad to hear you have time to put your feet up before you head out

Ahhhh Manas air base, i know it well. Keep your head down over there.

Good luck out there man. I'm leaving UAE in less than a month to head back home thank god lol.

Dubai effin ROCKS !!!!!

If you haven't partied there....lol....its a whole new experience. :rofl:

Even got a harly dealer out there. Shirts are about $25 a piece :mrgreen: and UNIQUE in the US ;) Ask my dad the comments he gets from his.

Anyhows....stay safe. If you gotta, ask around about Satellite interwebz. Its not too bad as long as there's no webcam action going on and no heavy pr0n d'ling.....

Take pix....hopefully you might never have to go over there again......8-)

There's hardly any trips that go to dubai these days, and since the isreal thing is going on they've cancelled all trips off base.
