    Where’s home base for you and what do you do when you’re not working?

    I "live" in the Austin suburb of Pflugerville. Since I "retired" from MarSOC EOD in 2013 I spend at least 9 months a year out of the country in "high threat" embassies. For the past 2 years I've been in Dakar Senegal- which is actually pretty nice. Before this it was 2.5 years in Lagos...

    Any flight to or from Lagos Nigeria- A flight I've done at least 15 times. I'm pretty sure this is where the "Jetway Jesus" started Also- the airport is sweltering, and there are random people in uniforms calling you over for bribes. Traffic is so bad that you leave 5hrs early for a 20 mile...
