About Me: I'm the Public Affairs Officer for the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division (Big Red One), otherwise known as 3/1 BCT. Here in Afghanistan we're known as Task Force Duke.
I am married to the beautiful and always charming Martisse (Best) Dettmer, an Army Lawyer, and we have 4 kids aged 7 down to 2. Oh, and three cats--- all of which Martisse acquired.
My twin brother Robb, ironically, walked these very grounds just 2 years ago as a member of the Texas Army National Guard; now I'm here seeing everything he saw.
This is deployment #3 for me, the first two being in the Baghdad area.
There are quite a few TF Duke members blogging, so watch out for their stories. Our bloggers represent a varied cross section of the brigade, with the exception of one group that is a healthy represention of the troopers of B Trp, 6/4 Cav, who signed up en masse.
I certainly hope you enjoy what you read from me.... make sure you check out the rest of TF Duke bloggers too!
