Join Amanda Huffman, a former US Air Force civil engineering officer, as she shares her experiences attached to a US Army Provisional Reconstruction Team in Afghanistan. Amanda, the first Air Force guest on the show, engages in an intriguing comparison of our lives as military advisors working closely with Afghan counterparts.

Explore the challenges Amanda faced in the seemingly out-of-touch mission of constructing modern structures in an agrarian society where people sleep outdoors and live in mud buildings. Bureaucratic issues, differing workmanship, and quality standards between societies contributed to project timeline setbacks. We also delve into the impact of internal conflicts within a unit and their effects on combat missions.

Beyond our military experiences, we discuss life around FOB Morales Frazier and the difficulties veterans encounter when interacting with civilians. Tune in for valuable insights into the realities of military life and the struggles of transitioning back to civilian society.
