I got a lucrative job offer than I've been waiting for for a while. I'm dropping out of school, and should be there sometime next month

:???: Where'd that come from?

you laugh - but - I'd love to.. My friend is an Army Ranger and spent a while up in the mountains - eye'd up some sweet lines... Even got to do a little avi control.. Said the people were awesome - food was good..

Do it!! I had an offer for Iraq a couple years ago - insane cash! Could probably work a year there and take 2 off...

Uhhhh wait.....Aren't there huge mountain and tons of snow falls on them? Is it even possible to ski anywhere in that area safely? There must be a way.

I don't think you need DOD orders for Afghanistan..

there's actually tourism happening there.. mostly to see the site where the Taliban blew up the giant Buddha..

Tons of snow is necessary to set off or avoid setting off landmines. Otherwise, the whole country smells like ass and looks like the moon. Keep the safety off. PS. There's still a 25 mil bounty on OBL, now that's tempting. :uzi:
