So besides shaving my beard/moustache weird ways (the chops are gone by the way) my days are fairly standard. Wake-up around 6am. Shower (if I didn't go to gym night before and shower), go to breakfast, and at my office by 7am. Normally we have a meeting around 10:30am. Lunch about 11:30 with a walk around to pick-up or drop off laundry. Back to work until about 6pm when we go to dinner. Then back to office until 7:30 or 8:30pm. Gym if I feel like it (might as well as internet speed is normally terrible at night).
It is warming up here and getting very dusty. Instead of building more barracks they are building flower beds. Can't wait to see how that works out. I did get my name on the list for a 3 man room. I am number 114 in line right now. So, more than likely, I'll get to move about a month before my year is up.
Work? Well as the HQ Security guru I get to oversee badging, computer security, phone security, and those types of issues not only for our HQ, but I am the person in between all the Regional Commands and ISAF. So I get all the questions and have very few answers other than "No." Which nobody wants to hear. I even got asked if I could go to ISAF and ask for a speed gun for the MPs to use as all of the ones here were broken. OK, really? 1) Combat Zone 2) Base isn't large enough to get going fast 3) Not my lane. I was nice and sent question up anyways. Answer came back "No." When asked if I could contact other bases and ask to borrow one I produced a power point slide with a European police officer holding a speed gun and a pic of Afghans pulling a luggage cart at the Kabul airport. You can fill in the captions. I sent that as my answer.
