It really has been way too long since I have last updated. My pathetic attempts at excuses will stop after I say that I have been busy, the internet is slow, and my computer hard drive failed. So with that in mind, I'll try to keep posting over the next few days to keep up to date without trying to write a novel every time I post.
I arrived here at FOB Azizullah about a month ago, and got assigned to the Plans section. I help make the future operations come together so that the companies below us work together, and are better able to plan on their own. I also go out on missions with the Squadron TAC, which is basically the personal security detachment for the Squadron Commander. We go out frequently, although it is typically to go to twice weekly shuras in the town of Hutal to discuss security and economic development within the Maiwand district.
I'll post more tomorrow, but it's starting to get pretty late.
Welcome
To new readers and old alike: welcome to my blog! I hope that the people I care about will feel better about me being deployed to Afghanistan and stationed in Germany because they can follow me online. Feel free to contact me here if you have any questions or have a specific topic you would like me to talk about instead of my usual ramblings.
Sam Damon in Once an Eagle:
"Ah God. God, help me. Help me to be wise and full of courage and sound judgment. Harden my heart to the sights that I must see so soon again, grant me only the power to think clearly, boldly, resolutely, no matter how unnerving the peril. Let me not fail them."
