Redeploying

I may be redeploying on the 27th of August 2012.  I will probably go to CDIC in Ft Worth, TX and then fly to Afghanistan.

Change in Employment

I lost my job with LSI/CALIBRE and will now be working for ARMA Corp in Afghanistan.  I will be working for the same organization I worked for at Camp Eggers in Kabul (CJ-8).  I will be their Budget/Finance mentor.  I will be working for the Ministry of Defense (MOD) training the Afghan Military (Army) how to Budget and Finance (pay) their people.  Will be retruning to Kabul, Afghanistan shortly.  I am enjoying my well desrved break from the grind of working 6 days a week 12 hours a day.

Up in Flames!!!!

The other day when I got home from work I was going to turn on the propane heater to warm the bathroom up a bit.  I noticed the pilot light was out so I tried to start it but to no avail.  So I looked behind the heater at the propane tank and someone had disconnected the line form the tank so I attached it to the tank and turned the heater around and started the pilot light and then turned the heater on,  As I walked out of the bathroom I heard a swoosh!  I turned around and flames were shooting up the wall behind the heater.  I quickly turned the heater off and pulled the heater away from the wall as the flames were right below the bath towels.  I started blowing on the flames trying to blow them out.  Luckily I was able to get them out and removed the tank from the hose.  Evidently I hadn't made a good connection between the tank and the hose.  Needless to say I was lucky.
