Now, finally working under the US Government, Ben has found himself walking among riffle ridden army folk, sharing their space and chatting with them, "I'm not quite so phased by it now, being around the riffles. At first it was scary but I'm getting used to it."Talking to him about his long hours (getting up at 4 for a 6am shift, the lack of alcohol and bacon) he's enjoying his stay and hopes to extend the contract!
Having his services have proven valuable and he has now been offered a place in Germany, doing the same job (fixing up army vehicles) and although (another) chance of a life time has arisen he is holding out for the big one in America.
And all in sinc with back home, and our volcanic ash problems, sandstorms are all the rage in Kuwait. "All these sirens went off, and they were telling everyone to get inside. It was black for about an hour outside, in the middle of the day while the sandstorm was passing us."
