Well I was deployed overseas to a small country called Qatar. It was great and had a lot of experiances. My job was to watch the 3rd country nationals build buildings, and stuff like that. It was a really cool experiance. I got to watch them build large buildings such as hangers, and even smaller buildings like computer rooms and such like that. I found it kind of interesting. I'm an electrician by trade so I know that part of it by being in the Career field for a few years however, it kind of startled me by watching them do it. They didn't have any safety precedures that they followed whatsoever. I mean they were doing things that if you did it here you would be in big trouble. They didn't use Ladders they just used Scaffling. They didn't wear Hard hats or gloves, they worked bare handed and no eye protection either. I mean this was some things you just couldn't get away with here in the states. The food there was Great. I mean we had Chicken, turkey, ham, and everything. I was there last year during this time if you all remember correctly. I was there for Thanksgiving, Christmas, my B-day, New Years and a lot of other time. The crazy thing is I missed my family so much but in a way I got to see how life really is Celebrated in other countries that don't believe in those things. They didn't have much to eat and the military supplied all the workers with as much water as they wanted. We even let them take some home to there families everyday to allow them to have with dinner. there water there was nasty it wasn't like bottled water or filter water that we enjoy so much. I suppose what i'm trying to say is sometimes you go overseas and you just don't know how good we have it compared to others.

my brother-in-law was deployed to iraq and he came back having learned a similar lesson. it's one that needs to be reiterated from time to time, i think.

يتمّ اللباد يخلو في سجن [أستيك]?
عقب الجريمة سيشير صنع, وقت أنّ
الأمنيات من المناضلة يمنح سيحقّقوننا جيّدا.
السنون يبدّد من داخلية بينما الضوضاء يحيّي المدنيّة يشعل واحدة تحت المدينة.
أين المتطرفة يكون هناك أخلاقية, يكون هو تثبيط? إنطباع بمتطرفات أيّ هم يكونون دقيقة, لا? هم أزمات التمهيدات من [إكنوميك دبرسّيون] زائفة و. [إيمّودست] وحلول يستنزف باضطراب. كدّس دائرتهم في التصرف الهولة, الآن يتسلّل, بالشرطة قوة والناس من البلد أيّ يضرب إنسحاب.
دعا التلفزيون من ال يحيى رسم الكاريكاتورات رموز سياسيّة. يعرض إلى غسل الدماغ بوعود سياسيّة, لا?
ينهي اللغة محايدة في المتراس يخفّف من مقتطف وفقط أنّ على يترك, يشبع مع أمل أيّ هو يكون أبدا, هم ينتسب هناك, في فقط خلية.
Le feutre vide en prison acétique ?
Après le crime commet, le temps indiquera que
les souhaits du militant accordés nous accompliront bien.
Les années gâché d'intérieur tandis que le bruit salue le civil sous la ville s'allume.
Où l'extrémiste y a-t-il moral, est-il découragement ? Impression par des radicaux qu'ils sont exacts, non ? Ils sont des crises de préfaces de dépression économique fausse et. immodesté et solutions épuisées par ennui. Leur cercle accumulé dans le comportement de monstre, maintenant infiltré, par la police et gens du pays qui battent en retraite.
La télévision du dessin animé de caricatures a appelé des codes politiques. Soumettant à un lavage de cerveau par des promesses politiques, non ?
La langue neutre dans la barricade a soulagé d'extrait et seulement cela finit sur partir, plein d'espoir qui il n'est jamais, ils appartiennent là, dans seule une cellule.
Does he feel the emptiness in an ascetic prison?
After the crime is committed, time will indicate that
the wishes of the militant granted will serve us well (sarcastic) 0as
we waste years trying to get information..the system accommodates
them now for information or else to get what they want out of it, now deals
for extremists.
The years wasted in the interior while the noise greets the civil one under the city lights. .Where the extremist is there moral ones, too, is it discouragement by us,no? We let them out again and let them mingle with innocents then wonder why there is sympathy to their leadership. Bad policy. Impression by radicals is that we wonder where they but by which they are exact, not? They are crises of forewords of false economic depression, immodesty and solutions exhausted by trouble. Their circle accumulated in the behavior of monster, now infiltrated, by the police force and people of the country which beat them and then retreat.
The television of the animated drawing of caricatures called political codes. Subjecting to a washing of brain by political promises, not?
The neutral language in the barricade relieved of extract and only that finishes on leaving, full with hope which it is never, they belong there, in only a cell.

Heh. Truth.
Did you get to actually interact with any of the TCNs? Did you find their situation pitiable or deplorable?
Gah, I swear that I'm becoming more of a bleeding heart day by day.

TS - Actually it is pretty interesting that you would say TCN's I was actually doing something called TCN duty while I was there. All I did was watch all the TCN's and got to interact with all of them while I was there. I did this for 4 months straight so I got to see how they lived and how they acted around one another and also how they acted towards differant situations. I was able to share ways of doing things easier with them and they got to show me how sometimes the hard way is the sure way to get things completed. So to answer your question I got to deal with the TCN's a whole lot.
For those not knowing, TCN = Third Country Nationals

Heh, a big part of our unit's job was to vet and guard TCNs on Camp Arifjan.
I was actually helping run the Base Cluster Operations Center.
