Well it was just announced this morning that July is the deadliest month in Afghanistan for US forces. This sounds like a deja-vu as we have been hearing this almost every summer month since 2006, but the truth is that each month keeps breaking this terrible record. Every year since 2006 has gotten progressively worse. [...]

It is very refreshing to see some military leaders and planners starting to think out of the box and find new way to get our warriors prepared for mentoring missions in Afghanistan. Bravo to the Marines and the LAPD. http://www.officer.com/online/article.jsp?siteSection=1&id=53418

As I read the article I really liked it [...]

Looking at the critical time we are in with regards to Afghanistan and the technologies we have today, I am wondering why the President can’t [...]

I was living there when they named it FOB Rushmore and we hated it. The senior Commander on the FOB at the time was from South Dakota and had come up with the name (before he was relieved by then-LTG Eikenberry). We thought it was a stupid name for a FOB and we never called [...]
The Bouhammer [boo-ham-er] blog was 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 who served with Bouhammer in Afghanistan. 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.
