In 2014, I worked in Afghanistan as a Contractor for a private company that worked for the U.S. I was stationed in several forward operating bases (FOBs), with the U.S. military, and these pictures are from the places I was at on base.
I worked as a Remote Paramedic for On-site OHS (medical sub-contract for LOGCAP IV) and Sterling Global Operations (on the Joint Munitions Disposal-Afghanistan [JMD-A] project). I worked on Kandahar Air Field (KAF), FOB Walton, Camp Leatherneck, Kabul and Bagram Air Field (BAF).

A lot of exercise while assigned here. Drinking is not allowed on these FOBs so I supplemented my stress relief with exercise.

In order, I was in Kandahar Air Field (KAF), Camp Leatherneck, FOB Walton, Kabul-only for a couple of days, and lastly, Bagram Air Field (BAF). I worked as a Remote Paramedic. I worked for two different companies and made a lot of money in a short time. I only spent a few months out there, but it was memorable and interesting.
