I ' m the more hands on geeking out type . I ' ll check those out . Thanks <| sep |> Our draft was about a month after I deployed to Afghanistan in 2012 . That opening month is mostly spent either traveling or training before you actually get . let loose ? So I was still on the main base in the region for the draft . Except I lost track of what day it was . So panicked and counting timezones in my head I rush over to the MWR essentially a glorified internet cafe to hop on a computer . All full . Huge line behind that . The guy at the front desk saw how distraught I was and asked what was wrong . I shook my head , trying to act like it wasn ' t that big of a deal , but told him anyway . He says if I had a laptop I could plug in to the desk if all I did was the draft . I did have one ! . back in the tent . So I sprint all the way there and back , out of breath , he hands me the cord and I ' m onlineI sit on the dirty floor of an MWR in Kandahar and log in . Just in time for the 3 rd Round . My first two autopicks ? Cam Newton in the 1 st , Ryan Mathews in the 2 nd . Cam was alright in 2012 , but not a 1 st rounder , and Mathews if I recall correctly only scored one or two TDs all year . Cest la vie . I think I went 49 and missed the playoffs entirely .
