Since I started two different threads this year about my next assignment, I though I'd close the loop and let you all know how it turned out.
I'm Kabul-bound, baby!
This was actually my top choice for a job -- the position is interesting, there's real work to be done there, and the money's pretty nice. Plus, Mrs. Firefly gets to come along and work, hopefully for USAID (Little Miss Firefly will be in college, which is why I could go for the job at all).
I won't get there for a while yet; I have to finish this tour, then head back to DC for intensive Dari. That gives me time to get good enough on the tenor sax so that I can practice on an armed compound without taking friendly fire.
Kabul. I'm psyched.
(Do people say "I'm psyched" anymore?)
