TSO Embedded in A’stan
Two minutes in the ‘Stan with TSO, the sheep whisperer
TSO has finally begun releasing some videos of his top secret exploits in Afghanistan last month. In this video, he demonstrates his innate ability to communicate with sheep and his extensive knowledge of the alphabet.
My cover story
A few things. 1) Don’t say anything bad about my article or I will cry. Honestly, this may be the first article I have written that I am truly proud of. The picture of a picture of the cover here sucks, but I will get a better JPEG to share with you later. 2) If […]
TSO in the ‘Stan
I finally pried some videos out of TSO last night. The first one is related to his post about the QRF (Quick Reaction Force) rolling out to protect MPs stuck alongside the road. Videos below the jump;
I’m in Dubai, and surrounded by women dressed like Ninjas.

Out on Patrol with Captain America and Pookie
In my defense, a first call of 0300 for a media embed is unconscionable.

Camelback empty. No gloves. Wearing […]
TSO Embedded in A’stan

Since we’re all on pins and needles for those reports from TSO while he’s doing the Old School milblog thing embedded in Afghanistan, I’ve made it a little easier for you to catch up on his posts. I’ve made a category “TSO Embedded in A’stan” so you can keep up everyday…not […]
