The phone call came as I walked the dog on a balmy summer afternoon last year; the caller’s number showed as ‘unknown’ and there was silence on the line. I was about to hang up when a voice crackled faintly: ‘Please hold, you have a call from Afghanistan.’
Why would anyone want to be a Grisham wannabe? Guy writes like a 10 year old. Read some novels by Gary Jennings for some real writing.
Izar’s yard in Cartagena, southern Spain, is fabricating the power plant’s 3 MW diesel generators. Izar Manices in Valencia is building two, 30-ton cranes for the deck, while Fene built and designed the helideck and accommodation area (enough for a crew of up to 52) and the 30-m flare boom. Maintel in France is responsible for the telecommunications module, and Yokogawa is providing the distributed control system (DCS). The control and instrumentation rooms are integrated into the accommodation area.

Farghum was stationed outside Da Nang for 11 months, where he says he worked more in supply than he did as a mechanic.
“When I was over there, a lot of the guys couldn’t take it, and a couple of them shot themselves in the foot to get out of there,” Merrick said. “I considered other guys — infantry, artillery — as having it worse than me, because I didn’t think I had it that bad.”
Looking back after nearly half a century, “you wonder how necessary it was,” he said. “By 1975, when the North Vietnamese took over, it was all for a lost cause.”
