Ah, good ol Afghanistan. It's a shame that place has so many land mines and crazy people. It's actually really beautiful in the winter time. The snowboarding would be epic!

Makes you appreciate all the comforts of home, doesn’t it? You had a much rougher time of it than I am. It’s not that bad anymore, especially not on the big FOBs.

I’ll take your word for it brother. I haven’t seen anything beautiful here yet, but I’m not in the mountains either. I can see how those areas could have their charm.

But this is a watch forum, so the question is: what watches did you wear?

In the 21 months or so that I have had it my GMT-Master II has displayed 9 time zones:

GMT-8: Los Angeles
GMT-7: Tucson
GMT-6: Houston
GMT-5: New York, Miami, Charlotte NC
GMT: London, Newcastle upon Tyne
GMT+1: UK, British Summer Time
GMT+3: Bahrain, Doha
GMT+4: Abu Dhabi, Dubai
GMT+8: Singapore.

So that is 9 down, 15 to go!

Crazy shot! I got stuck doing a security detail tomorrow for the Base Air Show, so I might snap some shots with some F16's and such.

Everywhere and back, but I confess the Suunto is on the wrist for the more demanding moments. I don't like heavy watches when there is a lot of perspiration and moving around,,,,,,

Considering I've only had this for less than a week, this is the farthest its been from home. Here is the SD eating too much chocolate at the Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival in San Francisco.
