WHS grad served in Afghanistan

By Robert Cloud


A Waupaca native recently returned home after serving in Afghanistan.

Jake Plamann, a 2014 Waupaca High School graduate, was discharged from the U.S. Army on Sunday, Feb. 7.

Plamann entered the service in January 2015, received his basic infantry training at Fort Benning, Georgia, and was first stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado.

He was later deployed to Afghanistan, where he spent nine months in 2016.

Plamann said he was stationed primarily at Bagram Air Base.

“We were gone most of the time,” Plamann said. “We traveled around.”

Plamann’s unit accompanied convoys, closed and opened a base and worked with Afghan nationals.

While in Afghanistan, Plamann was promoted to specialist.

He said that what he most remembers about his deployment was the heat.

He spent a couple of weeks in Kuwait where temperatures were sometimes above 120 degrees.

He also remembers his missions and gearing up with the soldiers who were with him on those missions.

Plamann plans to continue his education in Florida, where he hopes to study music production and learn to operate a digital audio workstation.

Before starting college, Plamann said he will “hang back and relax for awhile.”
