Short video of living arrangements while stationed at Kandahar Airfield (KAF), Afghanistan in February 2010. Understand that if you've been here, or you're headed here: your conditions probably won't be like this. These are old pre-Taliban era buildings that were part of a hotel on the airfield built in the (? -early 70s?) KAF has multiple micro-camps inside the gates. Each micro-camp holds it's own unit, whether you are Canadian, or US Air Force, or Army Aviation, or (insert unit type here). Accomodations range from tents (only a couple temp locations) to "B-huts" (a rectangle-shaped barracks that is either open with bunk beds, or enclosed with 10 one-person rooms), or you could live in one of the brand new brick-and-reinforced concrete barracks. Very modern with blast protection (we ARE in a combat zone!) Any way you end up, you're stuck in a camp of 20-thousand living on the edge of a desert. That means traffic is horrible, lots of hot dusty conditions, and with one working ATM machine, if you wait less than an hour to get cash, you were exceptionally lucky that day.
