12-26-09

I talked to the wife a little this morning; it’s so nice to hear her voice. Then I went to breakfast and caught the 7:30 bus to the other side of the base to take the class. It takes about 15 minutes to go just a few miles because they can only go 25km per hour. We spent the first 45 min going over the last little bit of info and then we did a review. After that it was movie time until lunch. After lunch it was movie time again until 3pm. We started watching “Sons of Anarchy”, we are going to try and get through the whole season before the class is over. I am not sure if we can do it though because we have a cigarette break after every episode, which eats up a bunch of time.

Our teacher is woman who retired from the air force; she is nice but pretty rough around the edges. She said she came to Afghanistan because they told him she wouldn’t have to cook, clean or do her own laundry. She gave us a ride back to our side of the base. It takes a while because you have to drive in a loop around this giant airfield at 25kmph. If the mp’s catch you speeding they will kick the vehicle off the base, the transportation guy said it’s because the military wants to get some of the cars off the base because there are too many. We had to wait until 3 again to leave, so that we don’t go back too soon and get her in trouble.
