I've been posting some blogs on the SG site, treating them as if I were writing in a personal journal, for no audience. It's been many, many years since I've written on a regular basis. I started in elementary school, continued through high school, and when I enlisted senior year, the plan was to continue to keep a journal throughout my time in the Army. That lasted all of one day, once I arrived at basic training. There usually just wasn't time, and when we were given personal time, the last thing on my mind was catching up on journal entries 😆. There were some letters written when I was stationed in Korea, and again when I was deployed to Iraq, but I had largely given up on writing until I joined this site. Whether-or-not I was ever any good is up to the people who read my stuff, but I used to really enjoy doing it; and have started to enjoy it again. But I would like anyone who reads one of my posts to please leave me their honest opinion (see what I did there? With the title of the blog? Eh? Eh?). I used to get shot at and almost blown up for a living, I promise I can handle it if you tell me I suck at writing. Also, I apologize in advance for writing about the Army so much. I was discharged (honorably) a long time ago, but it's still a huge part of who I am.
