Working in Kuwait

Being head hunted by the big boss is a flattering thing. To be head hunted for a job as important as fixing up foreign war crafts is another story.
Thursday night he got a call  telling him that he bagged the overseas job, and is being transferred on Saturday.
Ben Amos, university graduate of Swansea Met has been offered a work placement of ten weeks in Kuwait, Working for the American Government for lots of dollar and a lifetime experience in fixing their army vehicles.
They dumped him right outside the road that leads into Iraq to begin with. Since, he has been moved to a new apartment, 40 miles from the boarder in a town called Mangaf. "It's good, a brand new apartment with some nice luxuries! It has a gym, swimming pool, a freezer that makes ice cubes, pool table, and a nice TV with satellite! I can't complain now" A nice update from his basic living head quarters he was previously sharing with five people.
However, the USA are taking their time in sorting the admin and although arriving a week ago he is still waiting to start work.
Heading home on the May 30, regardless of when he starts, Ben just wants to get the ball rolling. "I just want to get on with it now, I'm really bored! But the pay will make up for it when I start, and I don't have to pay for accommodation so that's good."
Rifle ridden army folk are on his doorstep, and being in a war zone means early hours and late nights, with awkward afternoon breaks.
On top of that, alcohol and bacon are forboden.

First thoughts? "It's shit scary".

More to come.
