Other than being busy with work it's been a quiet couple of days. No incoming, no outgoing and no one dying. However, there was a memorial service at the compound across the street for one of their soldiers.
The biggest issue over the last couple of days is getting people on the FOB for the new projects we are starting. To be escorts or unescorted the local nationals need to go through background checks and interviews, plus whatever classes they might need for escorting. It can be a lengthy process so it makes it hard to get jobs started. For now we have to go to the gate, search their vehicles and escort them while on the base. We are running out of manpower so we all have to start helping with the entry process. Lucky us. I guess I'll just stay close to the guys with the guns.
I wish I had more to report, but just another day at work. I have some guys taking geotechnical samples by some primitive methods, I'll try and get pictures before they finish up tomorrow.
HOME FRONT NEWS: Christian may have finally believed that the ship has sailed on him getting a brother. He told Katy that the cherub sitting on a gazing ball (The Crapping Cherub) in the front yard is now his brother. ....... That or he is trying to make us feel sorry for him that he has to have a statue for a brother. Either way, there's no more children in my future!
