CLAY NATIONAL GUARD CENTER, Marietta, Jan. 18, 2011 – No matter where they go, Soldiers have to deal with the language and cultural differences between themselves and the people with whom they come into contact. While most units have interpreters with them to assist in communicating with the locals, basic exposure to the local language is still useful for everyone in the unit.

I pretty much dropped the blog after returning from Afghanistan back in 2008. I’ve been doing most of my stuff on Facebook since then. I’m headed back over there soon, so I thought I’d get this thing going again. There is a link to the right to get you to the Old Partamian Report if you want to reminisce… or just look at it… or not, whatever. It’s there.
