Kevin left Dubai on Friday afternoon, our time, and arrived at Bagram Air Base a couple of hours later. He called us about 6:30 Staurday am and it was about 6 pm there. He is 11 1/2 hours ahead of us. He is staying in a tent on a cot. He had to but a pillow at the Post Exchange (PX). He spent a big $3.00 on it! They provided him with a sleeping bag. He said that it was kinda weird walking around the PX (its just like a Walgreens) and passing men carrying huge weapons with them.
The nights are chilly and the days are still kinda warm, he thought about 100. He called again last night, which was after breakfast for him. He wasn't sure what he would do all day. He finds out where he will be working on Tuesday. He had heard that they would give them a few days to get acclamated. He said that Tuesday was the first time available for them to have a meeting. So, while others are complaining, he is happy to sit around and get paid!
The food is served in a place like an Old Country Buffet. He said it was pretty good, better than the Lamb Stew in Dubai!
Bryan and I are doing better. We still miss him bunches but it helps that he has been able to call everyday. He bought a phone card before he left that is rechargable. Hopefully he will call tonight after he has breakfast! (Sounds weird!)
