An old skool friend joined late...33 or 34 for similar reasons as you. Saw time in Kandahar airfield doing primary maintance on vehicle and saw action on convey protection or something. His biggest complaint were some of his teamates. Its a mixed bunch, but much like any work place, but the fact you have to live with people you dont like sux.

He thoroughly enjoyed the experience and especially the people of afghanistan. Keeping a positive attitude is crucial. He actually got to do some training of the afghan army and even citizens with an english class. He found his calling and now is in school to be a teacher.
