well, it depends on what part of afganistan you're in. most of the places I've been to so far are not that bad actualy. we usualy stay in tents and usualy have beds. but the only downside is I never have enough room to move around much. the chow is not that great in most places, everything you own usualy gets dusty every day from the dust storms, and it's very hot during the day and hard to breathe because of the elevation we're at.
