One of the side effects that I had after just returning from Afghanistan is similar to an effect that many people have after coming out of Afghanistan and Iraq. After spending the last year of driving tactically and on the offensive/defensive it is hard to stop that style of driving. One of the ways to [...]

I know this is not necessarily Afghanistan related, but my readership is so large here that I want to spread the word to as many as possible. The people over at VAJoe are sponsoring a contest to give some cash to a military charity. Voting doesn’t begin until August 5th, but the nomination stage is [...]

Yesterday I talked about the roughly 60 day mark on returning home. Yesterday was also a 30 day mark for me, as in 30 days after the day I hit the 20 year mark. Prior to leaving for Afghanistan, soldiers in my unit, families, friends and co-workers all asked me if I would retire when [...]

It has been a little over two months now since I have returned from Afghanistan and it is weird to see myself go through what I talked to other people (my soldiers) about and what the chaplains, VA counselors and others have talked to me about. The stats say the typical vet returning home from [...]

The folks at VA Mortgage Center have asked me to write blogs for them on a regular basis. I posted my first one for them tonight and you can get to it at http://www.vamortgagecenter.com/blog/2007/07/16/the-%e2%80%9cgolden%e2%80%9d-common-sense-thinking-on-sending-and-asking-for-care-packages/ I reviewed some top 10 lists about what to send and what not to send from my buddy JP over at [...]

I just wrote a blog entry about The Army Birthday Ball Weekend. Since it is not Afghanistan specific, I placed this entry on my Military Blog. You can get to this by clicking the link on the left side of my website or by going to http://www.bouhammer.com/nucleus/Military.php
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.
