Father's Day & Moving
Yesterday was Father's Day. It started by talking to Gayla on Skype. We talked at 6 am (Sunday) my time and 8 pm Saturday her time. She called early so I was just getting ready to jump in the shower so I declined her call. It was good to hear from all my kids on Father's Day.
I was able to go to chruch on base yesterday at 4:30 pm. Sacrament meeting last about 50 minutes (1 speaker) and then a 10 minute break and Sunday School lasted 1 hour. There were 23 in attendance -- 19 men and 4 women. After church we all went to dinner together at the DFAC (Dining Facility) on post.
Just got the word this morning that I am being transfered to Kabul, Afghanistan (Camp Eggers), which is in downtown Kabul.
The weather there should be better (80-50s) vs. 1120-90s). It is close to some mountains.

Afghanistan Here I Come!!!!
I have been offered a job in Afghanistan with Caliber Corp. I would be a contractor working for the military as a Senior Financial Analyst. I haven't received the contract yet but it should happen this week.
I would leave some time after the 30th of April 2009, when my contract with Liberty Tax Service expires.
I would go through Ft Benning, GA on my way to Afghanistan. All travel would be by Government air (helicopter) in theater. No traveling through the countryside on outings.
I would work 60 hr weeks. Ten hours a day 6 days a week. Sundays off.
I would get one round trip home during the one year assignment. However, I must stay overseas for 330 of the 365 days in order to get $80K of my salary exempted from taxes. So I may just go to England, Germany and meet mom there.
More details to come when I get the offer/contract.
