Well Saddam is dead and thank goodness they finally did it. This day 16 years ago I was freezing to death in the desert of Saudi Arabia waiting to go into Iraq and kill him then. I was in Iraq well before the ground war ever started and once it did officially start I was [...]

One thing we found out the other night is that snow on a satellite dish will knock out the internet. The other day we got a good dumping of heavy wet snow that came down in big fat flakes. It reminded me of the first lake-effect snows we get in Buffalo. Of course what we [...]

A great insight to the life in Afghanistan and what life is like for ETTs, the politics, etc. is brought forward by my good friend, Scott Kesterson.

The 2006 weblog awards voting is over and I am extremely happy with the results. I did not win, in fact I think I had the least amount of votes out of the 10 finalists. However I was flattered to be nominated in the first place and to receive the votes I did get. When [...]
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.
