Welcome to Afghanistan

When I first accepted this job over 18 months ago, I received an email from the MPRI Logistics Director, Laney Pankey, that ended with "Welcome to Afghanistan." Something about that simple little phrase sounded intimidating and ominous.

Now I'm a hiring manager and I've sent two similar emails to new hires. I plagiarized from that first email from Laney and left the spooky little ending "Welcome to Afghanistan."

I wonder what they thought when they read it...

Out.
