Some people think that I came to work in Afghanistan for the money. I received my first pay stub yesterday and I was reviewing exactly how much we are actually paid. I am averaging just over 100 hours of work per week. With that in mind, my hourly rate is lower than if I was at home working as the head fry cook at McDonald's.
It's not about the money folks. It's about the people.

Being the child of a career military guy, I never once thought that. Big heart, little wallet.
