Afghanistan

[YourMKArcadeSource]

As some of you may, or may not know, I was applying for a job with L-3 Communications. The job would require me to be in Afghanistan for up to 5 years, but lets just say, I can come back and retire with the money they are paying. Just wanted to say I got hired today and will be gone for a while. I'll still have internet, but communication may be few and far between. I'll keep you posted with further details.

Well, I leave tomorrow for Afghanistan. I'll have internet, but it will be few and far between. So, I guess, see you guys in a year or two.

Thanks guys. Made it to Afghanistan today. The base is actually better than I expected. They have one of those shitty "Arcade Treasure" machines in the laundry room. It has MK1 on it. I played it. I sucked. I think it's set on Very Difficult because the AI acted different than when it's on Normal resulting in me not getting past the second opponent. Good times. Anyway, just wanted to say I made it and start working tomorrow. See ya.

Hope all goes your way over there man, keep in touch

Almost got killed today. The Taliban launched a rocket from outside the base that hit just under the left wing of one of my planes, sending shrapnel that destroyed the left wing, left wing tip, and the power cart that was sitting next to the wing. The power cart was completely destroyed and the entire tail cone, vertical stab, and elevators were shredded with shrapnel. I was 50 feet away. One of the aircrew was hit in the leg and chest. As far as we know, he's ok. None of us maintainers were hit, even though we were just on the other side of the aircraft about 50 feet away.

All it takes is something like this to happen to make you realize that all the little bullshit things you complain about don't really matter and how much you need to enjoy life while you have it, because it could end just like that!
