bONES Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Good luck over there if you go, hope you have good security! well, I got the phone call today. The position is mine (yes boiler rat..I'll be welding).I will be signing a 7 month contract and working/living at the Kandahar Air Field.There are 15,000 people (soldiers & civilians) there and it is very secure.If I miss the comforts of home there is a Tim Horton's there, Burger King, etc.It's looking like I will be shipped out on August 15th or 18th. I REALLY have to see Radiohead on the 15th so I am hoping for an August 18th departure.My new employer will be the Department of National Defense. I'm excited and nervous as I think I have ever been.I can't wait to get this [color:purple]party :crazy: started!peacebones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 If Tim Horton's and BK become your comfort food, that would be terrible. I'd rather eat Military MRE's!I hope it is a great experience for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'd rather eat Military MRE's!I know the sentiment you are going for, but no you wouldn't rather eat MREs. There's a reason they call them Meals Refused by Ethiopians. Disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bouche Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'd rather eat Military MRE's!I know the sentiment you are going for' date=' but no you wouldn't rather eat MREs. There's a reason they call them Meals Refused by Ethiopians. Disgusting. [/quote']gonna be honest here. growing up, my dad always had these things ready for camping. i fucking loved them. They may have changed since the seventies, and as a kid, things like that are more fun that tasty.i'd probably enjoy something out of nostalgia, but other than that, you got me. I'd love a fucking whopper in Afghanistan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
