It was fabulous watching Chris get the Aviatior of the Year award and I can honestly say that the Army Aviation Association of America (Quad-A or AAAA) put on a nice party. There was a nice reception on Sunday night with all kinds of food, open bar, and door gifts. Even Big-E found the Shrimp [...]

This Blog will discuss nothing by military issues. They can be Active Army, National Guard, Reserve or other branch of service related. There will be links to good things, my feelings on issues, ideas, and updates on proposed items.
If you are interested in the military, this is the Blog for you. If you are [...]
A blog originally created by a 22-year retired First Sergeant of the Army. This blog started out as a way to write about military related issues. It turned into a way for Bouhammer to document his 16 month tour as an ETT leader in Afghanistan for family and friends. It is now one of the leading and award-winning blogs written exclusively on operations in Afghanistan and other military related topics. In addition to Bouhammer, another writer is The Dude who is a National Guard Officer currently serving as a civilian contractor in the country of Kuwait. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy what you see. If you care about what is happening in the land where the attacks of 9/11 were planned and if you care about our military, this is the blog for you. Tell your family, tell your friends, and even tell people you don't like.
