"n 2009 Buttigieg became an
ensign in the Navy Reserve and trained to become a naval intelligence officer. He deployed to Afghanistan for seven months in 2014.
[30][31][32] While deployed, Buttigieg was part of a unit assigned to identify and disrupt terrorist finance networks. Part of this was done at
Bagram Air Base, but he also worked as an armed driver for his commander on over 100 trips into
Kabul. Buttigieg has jokingly called this role "military
Uber", because he had to watch out for ambushes and explosive devices along the roads and make sure the vehicle was guarded."
