My very close friend, fellow milblogger, fellow senior NCO and You Served Radio co-host CJ Grisham was recently interviewed by a local news station about this recent decision to “come out†about the issues he is dealing with from his tour in Iraq and how he is trying to seek help.
If you aren’t lucky enough to know CJ as well as I do, here is a chance to look into his soul and see what a great man, soldier and leader he is.

I am so happy to announce that after 1 week of this site being down and barely limping along, that the site is back up and running properly and efficiently. I will do my best to start cranking some blogs out over the weekend.
Thank you all for your patience.

Because Mrs. Bouhammer doesn’t want to see any of our veterans getting sick this flu season I want to share the following information with our readers. Mrs. Bouhammer is hopeful that Mr. Bouhammer and Bouhammer Jr. will pay attention and go get a flu shot! PS – Granddaddy Bouhammer should get one too!

After working with GoDaddy technical support I was able to identify an attack against this website. In just the last 6 hours there have been over 40000 page views of just one particular page.
I am working with GoDaddy Abuse team to get this stopped and dealt with. I appreciate your patience and ask that you give me a little more time to get this resolved.
My only concern is if this is a coincidence. I mean why this week when McChrystal’s report comes out and while Afghanistan is such front page news. Makes me wonder.
