I am outraged and completely pissed off that the Pentagon is trying to force my friend, fellow 1SG, and fellow milblogger to stop blogging. CJ was personally invited by and attended a meeting with President Bush as part of a roundtable of milbloggers. Did someone in the Puzzle Palace forget this? He has a site [...]

I was rocked out of my bed this morning by a flying chocolate muffin and a group of crazy men singing Happy Birthday to me! I turned 29 this morning and realized I was still in Afghanistan. Those crazy men I speak of are the nucleus of my team going South with me [...]
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.
