When on fabulous Forward Operating Base Orgun-E, Afghanistan, be sure to eat at the "Hard Rocket Cafe." Oh, wait -- you won't have a choice! It's the dining facility, and it's either that or a tasty MRE.

The Royal Oak- best steak north of Kabul!

A nice Tournedo Rossini with a fine Bordeaux ?
Possible !!
Have a look at the fantastic Atmosphere bar and restaurant.

If your in Kabol, your probably in the military. Bring plenty of bug spray, and anything to keep yourself entertained. The Bizarres are worth going to to send gifts back home. Chow hall is ok, 24hrs a day.

Never walk alone !! or you risk being raped/kidnaped/stabed/muged/murdered/shot/blow up...can happen in a group...or bitten by a crazy dog....other than that a freaking great place to visit !!! =)

The best food comes from family get togethers in their compounds. Make friends with someone in the city to get the best food, with the added benefit of seeing them relaxed, laughing and at ease - something they don't do out in public.

It is like a beach without wather. Always sunny

I would hate to be stationed here since alot of the stateside military politics will carry over (dunno if it's the brass or the branches...). Otherwise, I great place to visit after being in some more hairy parts of Afghanistan. Get some burgerking, check out the BX/PX. The market is pretty slick. If you know the right people there, you can trade in the M-16 musket they gave you at your home station for an M-4. I, however, was not one of those lucky people, lol.... Also, if your just catching hops from one place to the other, you shouldn't have to spend more than 12 hours here. Ask about the mail flights and helo flights.
