Last week I was given the mission to negotiate with the Deputy Governor of Herat for land to expand our airport facilities. Sorry, no pictures.
I was a little nervous about it because I normally don't have much interaction with the local nationals, but it was a lot of fun. It was pretty easy really. The guy spoke pretty decent English, so I really didn't need the interpreters. I got kind of nervous because there was the Deputy Governor, a Dept of Agriculture representative, a couple of engineers, and an Italian Colonel with his entourage. Everyone stopped and looked at me to make decisions that will affect hundreds of people and potentially commit the U.S. Government! It wasn't a tough negotiation, I just told the Deputy Governor what I wanted, he consulted his engineers, and we came to an agreement. The meeting didn't last long, and I got pretty much everything I needed.
Now I just need to put my Trump skills to work when I get home and negotiate for some profitable real estate!
