On the back of this sign it says 'Hell'.

The middle of nowhere

5K with the newest class of 80 recruit

The guy in the middle (Rick Polo) is the one who recruited Bret to come to Afghanistan to keep him company. He also told the one on the left (Doug Lobdel) about the great opportunities for fun over there... Bret has since convinced another classmate to come and he will arrive next week. Bret and Doug actually go way back. They wrestled on opposing teams way back in the early 1970's when Bret lived in New York.

I asked Bret to take a picture of the KAF hospital because there is a TV show that is kind of a modern day M.A.S.H. that is supposed to take place at the Kandahar Airfield Medical Hospital. I wanted to see if the TV hospital looked like the real one (it doesn't)
