Today, 07-Mar-2021 marks my 15th year as an Active Duty Soldier in The United States Army. It’s crazy to think it’s been 15 years. There are times it seems like it’s only been a few weeks. There are also times when it feels like it’s been 40 years!!!

I’m different in so many ways from the idiot kid I was when I joined at 19

Congratulations!  And thank you.  I come from a rather large military family--I was in ROTC all set to go straight from high school into some element of the Vietnam war and...on the last day of high school i was in a football accident which shattered my knees and busted my hip (basically a big kid slid on the grass at the same time i did; he grabbed my ankles for some reason and bent my legs backwards)  1A became 4F and bye-bye military scholarship etc.   It has bothered me how little real respect, admiration there has been for a military career in the years since.  it is a kind of unspoken career for those who somehow prefer to not think about it, whose avoidance mechanisms blind them to the extraordinary layers of chaos flowing around the world these days... may your years keep you in fairly good health, may you find company and recognition whenever you do complete this part of your life.

What’s your favorite Christmas movie? And... go!!!

I just finished watching it over

As my time on lunch is almost over I get on FB real quick to see what all is

I've lost a family member that way, the day and way I found him is something I will never forget. I (the whole family) still think a lot of what we could have done to avoid it. Unfortunately he didn't give us an alert when he took the decision to take his life, but many people do. Just hope people are aware of how bad the situation is for so many people and understand how important it is to help someone when he needs it the most.

Covid fucking sucks!!!!

Well, my time with my wife is about to come to a close. She has to go back to the states tomorrow, and then I’ll be all by myself again for god only knows how long.


my time with my kids was nixed, traveling to the states is not an option for servicemen at this time unless permanently moving or in the event of a...
