It’s not every day you get an email from a forward operating base in Afghanistan.

Pat King (Spring '01) with DKE flag in Paktika Province, Afghanistan

We heard from Lt. Patrick King, USN (Spring ’01) yesterday…  he’s wrapping up his tour with an ISAF Provincial Reconstruction Team in Paktika Province, and will be home in San Diego next month!

Last month we got a DKE flag out to Pat for some photo opportunities. Check out the photo he sent back!

“Thanks much for the flag… I just took the flag out on a mission on the 11th……my 30th birthday……..and got some great pics of it with me up on a snowy mountaintop.”

Pat served as chapter president in 2004-05 before graduating Cum Laude in May 2005 with a BS in Chemical Engineering. He immediately entered the U.S. Navy, graduating from Officer Candidate School and Nuclear Power School, followed by a tour aboard the USS Eisenhower.

We’re still not sure how a Navy nuclear engineer ended up on a reconstruction team in an Afghanistan hot zone, but Pat’s been a good sport about the adventure. We’re all looking forward to having him home and dragging him into some projects with the Alumni Board.

Thanks for your service Pat!
