I have a friend whose daughter was in Afghanistan for a year...it was her last outside assignment...she is now in DC. But she wasn't even allowed to be in the "embassy" in Afghanistan. Her family, consisting of husband and children in addition to parents, was not allowed to visit. You have to have nerves of steel to do those jobs and parents have to be kicking themselves for letting them pursue those avenues. Talk about a nail biter career.
