FOB Smart at 1730 - Wednesday
Goodness, I have less than 25 days until I fly out of Afghanistan; less than 21 or 22 until I leave FOB Smart. Talk about a crescendo of exciting building from deep within my soul! Well, for now it is quietly building - I still have much work to accomplish in my short time remaining. But it is short time nevertheless.
I observed progress on one of my ongoing and nearby construction projects; well, it is more like an all day affair with this one since it is so close and so important. The contractor benefits from constant guidance, mentoring, questioning, and monitoring. I would say it serves to keep him in check and on his toes - but in the best of ways of course. While I cannot disclose the project details or location for the obvious reasons right now, later I can, I can say it is my preference to walk all of my projects constantly, meet with the staff from the contractor and subcontractors, and then tie it all back into the normal construction management processes we maintain in our office. In this regard, you would never know you were in a war zone save for the guns, bombs, drastic differences in the local populace, etc. Anyway, all of that was to say there is not much difference in construction oversight and management wherever we go on the planet.
More fun tomorrow and beyond is anticipated. We love the missions. All has turned out to be a good Wednesday for us here on FOB Smart. Thursday is up next.
143, Kaesen.
Good night and good day.
