Nov 19th

Thanks to jet lag and anxiety I didn’t get to sleep until 0700 this morning, slept in and missed the alarm clock for 9:00 and missed my first meeting of the day…. A long day about security then proceeded. It was drilled into my head, this will be a difficult and dangerous mission, only second to Somalia. The activity will be covert and at no time can the logo of ACF be shown. They have bought local cars (instead of the usual white SUV’s) to try and blend in. Next month we are moving the office to get off the main street. Security trumps everything now…. I met with the director for what seemed like an interview as to why do I want to go to Afghanistan …. I reminded her that I was asked to go and accepted. I am not even aloud to talk about the political or security situation in Afghan on my blog. I was reminded that at anytime I do not feel comfortable or unsecure; I can ask to leave Afghanistan – no questions asked.
