The latest now is that I get to stay in Afghanistan even LONGER! That's the last thing I need right now. I had been extended four months, until the beginning of December. I have orders stating that. Now I find out that they are tracking me as extending until sometime in January. That's not as bad as it seems because both of those times include leave. This is rediculous. Originally I was told that I wouldn't stay for that long and they shortened my extension. You can't go back now and tell me that I'm staying longer. What gives?
I'm also being told that I'm going to be some basic training commander. No thanks! I really don't need a FOURTH command. Heck, most people only get one! I want to be leading a team in the field, not babysitting a bunch of trainees. If that's the case, I'm raising my hand to come home. The suck vs. reward ratio is too high for me to stay another two months.
I'm sure it'll work out though because I have a few people in my corner. I just hate the suspense.

I found your blog while Googling "Camp Stone Herat". I am trying to make contact with a friend that was just posted there, he is in the Army. I am not in the military, but will be in Kabul on USG business for the second week of August and would hope to contact my friend? His e-mail is not operational yet. My name is Tom Armor, e-mail=tarmor@aol.com, if you can help me to contact him please send a private note to me? Thanks,
ReplyDeleteTom,
ReplyDeleteI'm not at Camp Stone anymore. Your friend will have access to his civilian email, so you could contact him that way.
