3,200 U.S. Marines and 1 Sailor

"President Bush has approved the deployment of 3,200 U.S. Marines to Afghanistan to help the NATO-led security effort in the south and to increase the number of trainers for the Afghan army and police." I have to credit our friend Cathy in China for coming up with the silly subject line.

Chris' orders were changed: he'll be going to NATO's International Security Assistance Force (instead of going to Combined Security Transition Command). So far, June 7th is still the date he'll leave for one week in Norfolk then on to training at Ft. Jackson and then Afghanistan.
