I'm in Khandahar right now. So it's not freezing. It's pretty hot, but nowhere near as bad as Kuwait--or South Carolina for that matter. You're thinking of Bahgram.

What sucks the most here is the smell. There's a pond pretty close by that's full of shit. When the wind's blowing, the entire base gets a whiff.

The accommodations are decent considering they're re-purposed connexes, but the gym and the laundromat can be quite a ways off from where I'm situated, which is aggravating. I might have to order a bicycle so I can get around easier.

I wouldn't mind posting pictures of areas outside the wire, but I don't feel comfortable with on-base photography. This place has enough security risks without me contributing to it.
