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.

Damn you are surrounded by 'Stans  Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and China. The Russian has no where to run, well besides that base where he won't be appreciated
Good Luck.

I've been through there a few times.. I just hope they got some new mattresses and bunk beds since I was there.. Those things were horrible the last time I was there!
Oh, and Good Luck! and stay away from those Camel Spiders!

Dubai effin ROCKS !!!!!
If you haven't partied there....lol....its a whole new experience. 
Even got a harly dealer out there. Shirts are about $25 a piece  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......

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.
