Computer 'geek' in his office, Australian base, Kuwait
Description
A soldier is working at a computer. He refers to himself as a computer 'geek'. Churcher recalled, "This fellow is one of the people 'behind the scenes' based in Doha, Kuwait, providing support for the troops in the area of Operations in Afghanistan. The Osama Bin Laden picture on the wall is a target shooting poster put up by the Americans for use in the shooting Range at Camp Doha in Kuwait. The oriental curios hanging on his office wall are personal souvenirs picked up by him during his tour of the Middle East."
