Ashton Señoritas, that is. Fourth day on the new job in Bagram, and I found myself outside, providing escort service for our local Afghan workers as they put a security fence around the new data center. One can only stand around watching these guys for so long without going stir-crazy, so I fired up a couple of the short smokes to help the time go by faster.
The new job … I’m finally in a Senior C4ISR Planner position, what I originally deployed to do. My first order of business is to bring the data center to IOC (Initial Operating Capability), then to FOC (Full Operating Capability). One critical piece is the security aspect, and putting the fence in place is key. We’ve got five guys working under conditions that, in the States, would have OSHA shutting the operation down. Drilling, cutting and welding with minimal safety gear, or none at all. Their approach to measuring relies heavily on the Mark 1, Mod 0 eyeball. I’m amazed that things all seem to fit very cleanly, and they’re making good progress. I managed to snap a few shots of the work in progress.
