Hello Everyone...Well I've been a member for a while, but for about 18 months (give or take) I've been working in Afghanistan and could only play when I was on leave
Well that has changed a bit. They have upgraded our internet here so it's fast enough (barely) to play EQ which is good. I still have time restrictions--if you get caught during "business" hours they will kill our internet connection--but at least its some play time!
The past year has been interesting and exciting and tiring for me but its good. I am not active military here (I finished my enlistment a LONG time ago) but I work as a contractor under Department of State (soon to change to Department of Defense) which is why I'm here longer than the typical 6-9 month military deployment--the contractors often manitain the continuity. Since here I was embeded with the 2/7 Marines they left and I worked with 3/8 Marines, they left and I worked with 2/3 Marines---then my company transferred me to Kabul to train a special group which has been quite exciting. My job in Afganistan is traing the Afghan National Security Forces - Which, by the way, is pretty much an impossible task but we can discuss that offline I look forward to going back to the States someday but that may not for another year or so...
For those of you that remembered me when I logged in....THANKS...it was awesome to feel right back at home and know I still had a Guild...I made a good choice joining this guild way back when....
If I can help anybody do anything and its within my play times shoot me an email and I'll do my best to be there...
Take care and happy playing,
