Soldier extends for ninth consecutive tour because she 'likes to feel pretty'
BAGRAM AIRFIELD — A female Army private is proud to receive some recognition today, after media outlets learned that she holds the record for longest-serving soldier in Afghanistan.
Private Amanda Holder, standing at five feet tall and a hundred and seventy-two pounds, spoke candidly to Duffel Blog reporters.
The 27-year old soldier was only 19 when she first landed at Bagram Airfield eight years ago.
"I'm looking forward to my ninth year here. It's been so much fun, I see no point in leaving. Another year of salsa nights, Coffee Bean chats, and a whole new rotation of men to meet. I mean friends. I like to meet new friends."
