Tour of DUTY to Iran


Tour of Duty....

I remembered in my childhood times, there was an interesting movie series called Tour of Duty, it was a series about American Army who came to Vietnam as part of their duty to defend their nation.
As for my personal life, I'm not working as an army troops by the way,but I work as an Engineer who moves a lot, so , the same thing I guess, ...Tour of my Duty....and my tour of duty wasgoing to Iran as my next assignment.


Iran, one of the Syiah country in the planet...it was so happening I had a change to work there for a couple of month. As we all knew, Iran with its powerful Syiah, courageous President, beautiful scenery, milestone history of oil and gas industry and many other more in some sense attracting me a lot to come there.
So, when my manager called me and said, ...." Ziyad, your next assignment will be in Iran....". I Just smiled, with no mumbo jumbo, I accepted that offering.
When I took a look on the daily news nowadays, I found out another attractive point of Iran in conjunction with Hisbullah. Hisbullah was also one of the Syiah-based political party in Lebanon.
When Lebanon was devastated by Israel, surprisingly, from out of the blue, Hisbullah came up to surface and manage to supply a cash financial support to rebuild houses and economy, this is something that even our country, Indonesia, couldn't do so far. Iran by that time was able to help Hisbullah warrior in Lebanon with all military necessities, great financial support, and great brotherhood among syiah country, and as one of the lion that dare to challenge the USA.


As for life, I always expect that someday, Moslem can be united as one, and for sure which ever part of our Moslem body is hurt, then all part of the body is hurt....no matter whether you are sunni or syiah.
At one point, I guess I'm quite a tough guy, but in another side I'm weak as well.. I kinda miss my family backhome, no matter how much I like staying here, still I need and always coming home..C'est la vie... that's life ,my Friend!!!!

Halo Mas Agus,

Selamat atas tugasnya di Iran Mas. Semoga sukses.

Kalau tidak salah, Mas Agus adalah alumni the University of the Sea 2006 ya? Kalau ya, bolehkan saya tanya satu dua hal tentang program ini? Kalau berkenan tolong kirimi saya email jenengan ke madeandi@gmail.com. Saya juga akan ikut program ini Desember tahun ini. Matur nuwun atas kesediaannya.

Salam,
Andi
