Artoo Potatoo...the Saga Continues


While I didn't blog about Darth Tater in Iraq, many of you have seen the pictures and know what he went through on my tour there. He was a real "trooper" and stormed all over with me on my many travels around beautiful Balad. While he didn't get the chance to see a whole lot of Iraq, he had a great time!

Well, I am pleased to let everyone know that the saga continues here in Afghanistan thanks to Angela. She planned accordingly and surprised me last month with my very own Artoo Potatoo. The good news is that he will not be confined to base. Accomplishing our mission of training, sustaining, and developing leaders means trips outside the camp. In fact, he has already ventured into Kabul and gone to the airport. Below is a picture of him and I getting our convoy briefing from the convoy commander.

The trip was great and went off without a hitch. He kept his spud down and let us focus on our mission. So far, his adventures have been good. As they expand, look for updates here.
