I finally arrived in Afghanistan a few days ago. It took the better part of a week to get here and took some of the craziest routes one could imagine. Lets just say flying from Alaska to Germany nonstop in the back of a plane full of soldiers is a heck of a flight.
Things here are decent. The dental clinic is dirty and small, but has almost everything I could need. So far we haven’t been too busy.
Living arrangements are sparse but I have my privacy which is nice. Being around the same people 24/7 can drive a guy crazy. It is nice to be able to go sleep in a room by myself.
This is going to be a loooooonnng year. I miss my family and my friends back in Hawaii but am honored to be here. I’ll write more later and as soon as I can figure out a way, I’ll be posting photos as well.
