However, first we went to Camp Warehouse which is across the street from KMTC. We only went there for lunch, which at first seemed strange, but then I understood. Camp Warehouse is a French camp. I've never seen a French soldier around Kabul, but they have a bunch at Warehouse. I'm not sure what else they do here, but someone said they mentor one of the hospitals. And they make an awesome Sunday brunch. They had steak fillets, medium rare. About ten different kinds of cheese. Lots of real bread. Shrimp, fish, pastries, etc. It was good. I stopped by their PX and about half of it was devoted to cologne and perfume. And they wouldn't accept dollars - only euros (not that I wanted to buy any). Ahh... the french.
After lunch we crossed over the road to KMTC. It wasn't so bad. It's where all the military basic training happens. The base is fairly nice actually. There were troops everywhere. We were just checking on the Biometrics equipment we have there. No translators were there so it was awkward at first. But then they collected some doctors from across the hall that made a stab at translating for us.
Behind the base is a russian tank graveyard. There are thousands of tanks and APC's out there.
Have to agree on the French Warehouse food... went there on Sunday the week before and it was amazing!
