Last Saturday I was on my good friend Greta Perry’s weekly radio show which is aired on New Orleans’s WIST-AM Radio. I happened to be in Canada for my son’s hockey tournament so my call into the show made it her first international guest.

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.

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.
