Bagram Part 2

I need to apologize for my 11 July post-- I didn't edit it before I published and there were some typos... woops. Things are looking up today. I am keeping my good quarters (no hell tent for me) and getting adjusted to the place. I have photos to publish but no flash drive to transport them-- I accidentally left my flash drive in an MWR computer and by the time I remembered and came back a few hours later, someone had taken it. It had a few photos and a bunch of work on it, some of which I do not have backed up in my laptop. Lesson learned.
I have newcomers orientation training all day today and then some combat stress control orientation tomorrow. The earliest I may get out of here (get to the FOB) is Tuesday, but I've been told that I could wait as long as a week.
Apart from training I'm trying to get last minute shopping done-- get the things that are unavailable at the FOB, like razors, a flash drive, a pillow, DVDs. Here in the market on base you can get pirated copies of recently released movies for like 2 dollars-- the new Batman movie (in theaters next week I think), Hellboy 2, The Hulk. I watched “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” last night (very funny I must say)-- the guy I borrowed it from paid $2 and it was a flawless copy. I'll try to score a copy of “Kung Fu Panda” to send to the kids. If anyone wants cheap movies, let me know (that's probably illegal, so I was just joking). I'm also considering getting a prepaid Afghan Wireless cellphone-- I think incoming calls from the US might be free and people swear that most of the country has good coverage, although I have heard that the Taliban blows up cell towers on a regular basis. We'll see...
