I got a job in southern Afghanistan



"One bed available in local hutch in hostile outpost, southeast Afghanistan. Coffee and tea available at cost. Rocket and missile attack certain, ambushes sporadic: please bring own medical support. Evacuation often necessary, no method provided. Weapons proficiency a must.
Hospitality extensive, but remains will not be repatriated to your home country.
Looking forward to your arrival. Please approach with hands in air."

I got a job in southern Afghanistan . After 3-days bloody long travel from UK to Afghanistan, and 3 days bloody stuck on the compound in Kabul, finally I have arrived at my base in southern Afghanistan, near the Pakistani border area, via an old Russian helicopter. The journey itself was quite adventurous, like a real military deployment, by the way.
Everything is all right. My weapon has been already issued with a shitload of magazines. The old instrument was a bit dirty but I spent several hours to clean it, check all its part, and change those unsuitable for safe use...like my time in the army.
