During this tour of duty he served primarily in Kabul as the Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge of the Commander’s Advisory Group. In this capacity Tim provided non-traditional insight and analysis to the Commanding General of US Forces Afghanistan. For their actions, his unit was presented the Joint Meritorious Service Unit Award by the Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld. After a brief stint in civilian clothes, Tim deployed again. His second deployment was to Kosovo where he served as the Chief of Communications for an infantry battalion. He continues to serve today in the South Carolina Army National Guard as both an Instructor and a founding member of the South Carolina National Guard Computer Network Defense Team.
