Afghanistan. Just Afghanistan.

I had a hard time figuring out what to title this post.

Chris 's next deployment will be in Afghanistan for 6 months beginning next summer. Yes, he's Navy, and, yes, Afghanistan is land-locked. He's deploying as an individual augmentee" (IA) and will assist the Army and Marine Corps at the Combined Security Transition Command at Camp Eggers in Kabul, Afghanistan. The link has a lot of interesting information under Newcomers.

We expect to hear more soon regarding the dates he'll leave for Combat Skills Training Course at Fort Jackson, SC, and then off to Kabul after that. He'll still be performing his Yeoman duties; he's assured me his responsibilities will be within the camp walls.

There's even an IA Family Handbook that will help prep us. This is his first deployment since we've been married.
