Default New diesel owner in Kabul

Hi Everyone.

I'm new to the diesel world. After working for 2 years in Afghanistan and watching Shipping Wars, I convinced myself that buying a diesel and towing people's crap might be a good way to make a living until the market recovers. I couldn't finance anything larger than a 1-ton, so my options were limited. About that time I was offered a promotion if I returned to Kabul. I had already talked myself into getting a truck, so I bought a 2010 Ford F-350 DRW King Ranch. Needless to say, I haven't towed anyone's junk but my own.

Being disatisfied with the mileage, over the summer I added an S&B Cold Air Intake and Evolution CTS computer. I'd like to do a DPF delete after the warranty is up. I'd also like to upgrade the rims and tires.

Now, I'm sitting back here in Kabul, Afghanistan while my wife and kids drive around the states towing a 41' fifth-wheel.

S. Kobialka - hoping to find that everything is still in one piece when I get home.

I work alongside the military everyday. Lots of respect for our men and women in uniform. I'm in uniform, but as a civilian so no weapon. Thank him for his service, and yours.

Do you wear the US flag on your uniform?
I know it sounds like a stupid question- but if it is missing I would start thinking...

No badge- no combattant status and therefore rules of war do not apply to you.
If they apply down there anyway

I do where the flag (proudly) on my right shoulder and I do fall under the Geneva Conventions (for all the good that will do me).
