Just dropped my husband off at the airport for his trip to Afghanistan. It will be his first time (he's an electrician - will work on-base doing electrical).

The conditions are spartan, you'll stay on base, food should be decent. Cold and nasty in the winter, dry and "wind of a 120 days" in the summer. There will be no days that are comfortable in any way.

Do it for the money. The economy is terrible. Consult your tax person for specifics but ours confirmed that if Steve stayed out of country for 330 days, effectively the first 91,000 was tax free.
