Back in country on a new contract. Business as usual; ragtag bunch of misfits from all over, put together to do 'special jobs'.
So far, I'm first guy here, so I'm waiting around on the base, getting lots of funny looks. I'm not excatly low visibility, I suppose: from bottom to top, I'm wearing a wrecked pair of black trainers, a pair of faded multicam trousers of an after-market type preferred by foreigners, a British-issue 'Norwegian' thermal top from the '90s, an old USAF A2 flying jacket that is on its very, very last legs and a green baseball cap with a Jolly Roger patch velcroed to the front.
I do actually have a full set of the local uniform back home, but it seemed unwise to travel in it and I only took one bag which was full of books. Also, I'm rather enjoying being a bit of a mystery for a few days.
