The T-Patch was first used during the First World War. The Division was composed of men from the Texas and Oklahoma National Guards. The original choice of design was the Lone Star for Texas and an Indian Head for Oklahoma, but that insignia was adopted by the 2nd Infantry. Instead what was adopted was the T-Patch. It is in the shape of an arrow head...

I came by to say "Welcome Home"! I know you've been back a few days. Also want to say Thank You for your service!

Good god. I just saw your wife's thread about the burglary. For what little it's worth, you have my sympathies and best wishes. If you end up tracking them down in order to dispense rough justice, I certainly hope you don't get caught. And that you've got the right guys, of course. Anyway. Good luck in all your endeavours.

Very nice pictures man. I know it still sucks, but at least you don't got sand in every crevice. You guys even managed to make patrolls fun. 
So a couple of days ago, I'm walking back to my hooch from the Chow hall, minding my own business, and some dude walks by me. "Do you have the time?" he asks. "It's 6:15," I say.
And that's it. That's the end of the story.
Now some of you are likely thinking, "Man, this guy has finally lost his damned mind and is headed...

Did you write this?
So I just packed up my sea hut to begin shipping my shit home. I am trying really hard not to think about the fact that I have around 60 days to go but it is difficult when I look around now. Luckily I have a lot of missions left to go and am expecting October to fly by.

If you get to missing it too much, I will find a random kid to jump in your car window and yell HEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY. 
Can't wait to see you, honey. Love you!

The Dancehall Dreamer Devotion Thread in my favorite new hangout (Silliness) made me think of a blog that I posted on myspace (bleh) earlier this year. As I read it today my thoughts of her hold just as strong, maybe even stronger because I know it must be difficult putting up with my being gone a little over 16 months now. I thought I would...

Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0. I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Football 5.0, Hunting and Fishing 7.5, and Racing...

i think you will get much better access to football 5.0 if you empty the wastebasket first and run defrag on c:\livingroom and c:\kitchen. however, if this fails to improve performance of your favorite programs, it is not uncommon for wife 1.0 to install inlaws 1,2 which automatically downloads all updates to all your program whether you want them or not. in many cases this makes your entire system unstable. at this point many users are tempted to try running girlfriend 8.0 while wife 1.0 is in maintenanve mode. this is very risky and often results in the divorce 0.7 virus which restricts all further access to any programs solely to wife 1.0, which will upgrade to ex-wife 1.1.

Better day today. Though it is Labor Day weekend and I am in Kosovo, oddly enough I am happy with the little BBQ they had for us today. Looks like we will have some down time and get another one or two before the weekend is up; after that I am going to be balls to the wall busy. I am grateful for this because...

Doing alright today I guess. The weather is getting cooler and it is almost hunting season. On a good note, I have less than three months to go before I come home. I came across a site today and felt it important to put it up for others to see. It is a listing of the Texas troops who have died in the wars. Hopefully...

After being here for over 8 months now, I have finally come to the conclusion that life sucks in Kosovo. I guess because I have been too busy with my missions to ever realize it; I have had the past three days off and am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I waited most of the weekend, checking periodically to see if the...

Well since I dont know how to get rid of this damn thing I guess I will write in it. Evidently I posted a blog when I didn't want to. The one I did earlier today was supposed to be the only one seen. Now I cant get rid of this damn box. Does anyone know how to delete an entry? I tried going to...

I just got back to camp from a few weeks of training and while I was away I realized that we try to keep everything in the military on a low enough level that anyone could understand. Here are some pearls of wisdom that the US military gives us in an effort to keep us from hurting ourselves. Enjoy...

OK, not much for writing but here goes. I went to Greece last week on a short R&R and had a pretty good time. The only problem was that I pretty much spent the week wishing that my wife was there to see the cool shit with me. She has always been interested in archaeology and I got to see a lot of ruins; most...
