Kandahar stinks. There is just no other way to describe it when the central feature of the base is the sewage aeration pond. Once you get past the smell, Kandahar Air Field (KAF, KAF-poo, Kamp Poo, etc) is a pretty decent base and a real eye-opener to people used to working on and with US run bases. As a NATO base, KAF takes multiculturalism and multi-layered beaurocracy to whole new levels.
I just got back from a week in KAF, next week I head back for another month, I guess I better learn to love the KAF.
More, after sleep.

Try going to Karachi. Pakistan man! I was there in 1989 when I was in the U.S. Navy. I was on the U.S.S. Fox CG-33 and since we had the most senior captain in the battle group we got pier side and it was like a freakin' cess pool, smell and all!
