Just found out that the blodwyn winter holiday will mostly be spent in Kandahar this year, any tips how I can make my stay a little bit more comfortable especially as I'll be there for xmas , new year, and valentines day (!?), any fool can be uncomfortable so any suggestions gratefully received.

Take plenty of pork scratchings, they are very hard to come by in Kandahar, home of the New Nordic Norm 75mm binding 8)

Take a book or two with you. There's nothing like a good read! :)

Shut up Twonk!


Compact DVD, PS2, Laptop, IPOD etc are the norm! dvds retail around 2 for $5 so even boxed sets of complete series are affordable and a common way of killing down time! Computer games are abourt the same price just check it before installing as there have been some shlonky copies about!
Failing that, a spot of phys never goes amiss!

Based on what experience?

CCF and 100 hrs on America's Army qualifies you to react like a falling plate and not much else, so until you can prove otherwise stop trying to advise others on matters you have niether knowledge or experience of!

thanks lads,

Just packing my bags, I fly out early next week.. whilst im here, do i need to allow for the weight of my rifle when packing my hold luggage or is it in addition to my hold luggage allowance, anyone know what an A2 + 4 mags and a cleaning kit weigh off the top of their head!

Hmmm, being a speacilaity of mine, I am now speachless. I am not sure on the full weight of your rifle + misc kit. I am sure however that they will be put into a different hold and the weight will be separate to your normal luggage.
I will go on what the last post says about taking things. Any hobby of yours, realistic that can be taken there, take it, it will all pass the time!
