The Beginning
As you may know, I am a Chief Warrant Officer in the United States Army recently promoted to grade Three. By trade I'm an Attache Technician which is a fancy title for Operations Coordinator or Ops Chief for Defense Attache Offices within the Defense Attache System. Our main objective in any given country is to establish and maintain close ties with the host-nation military and represent the Secretary of Defense to the host-government. Our offices our located within U.S. Embassies worldwide.
On the 19th of October 2006 I arrived and assumed my duties as the Operations Coordinator for the Defense Attache Office here at the American Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. It is a one-year hardship unaccompanied tour. My family have stayed in Maryland since we own our home and we did not want to interrupt my daughter's schooling more than absolutely necessary (I miss them terribly).
I will leave this initial post at that and start with the day-to-day type stuff tomorrow.
