A friend of mine (*cough* pseudosoldier *cough*ahem*)gave me a bit of good natured grief about this article having "turned into an estrogen fest". Perhaps he simply didn't have the minerals to post a comment himself?:)
Honestly I can hardly wait to write it. My brain has an odd habit of not remembering things very actively. It is only by *forcing* myself that I can "enjoy* old memories.
A field trip to a church or ministry out of your experince can be quite amusing no? :) My best roommate was a fundamentalist Christian, (I am agnostic), I loved having that guy around to bounce ideas off!
I am not normally much for poetry, but I like that one. I wish a larger portion fo the populace had not already forgotten who provided them their freedoms. A.N.S.W.R. and Andy Rooney I am looking at you!
The human aspect of war is largely missed due to the fact that only a very small percentage of our population has to have even *indirect* contact with it. Military communities have it well in hand however as it routinely strikes us close to home. Even for those of us in the military who work in support jobs like myself have only a peripheral grasp of the human reality of war. My unit may deploy to a war zone, but it is very likely that I an most of my
DEADLY CHARISMA (Pt. 1) One of the reasons I wanted to start writing here was to help straighten out some of the jumbled memories I have accumulated over the years. Of particular interest to me, (and no one else in all likelihood), are the memories of the last 4 years or so. This time frame encompassed vast changes in my life and psyche. I will be publishing
Dharmagrl - I think the differences on AF and Army personnel management will be addressed in a article i just decided to write. It shoudl be up in the next day or so. There is just too much explaining to do in a comment.
Mr. Frog I think I recognize you or at least your ilk from my time slashdotting.... I am premptively adding you to my blacklist of post trolls.
For some bloody reason the link doesn't seem to want to display correctly so you just have to actually go there at www.meleeonline.com Grr....
Wow, aside from your hubby's current station, I am once again reminded of how different the Air Force is from the Army:) No I am not engaging in that inter-force rivalry thing or whatever, but the AF definately has another set of priorities when it comes to assignments:)
What is even more interestign to me is that I notice I will spend more time looking for a good spot than it would have taken me to just walk in from the mediocre spots I could have had immediately. There is a very odd prioritization that takes place in your brain when you park and it is hard to overcome.
I am here at Ft. Hood and havebeen for around 4 years now, did a lot of time in Korea before that. My wife is out East and not enjoying it out there:)
dharma - Our separate living situation is also a military thing. Thankfully it is not an *overseas* military thing such as yours. Stationed in the Arctic? damn! and I thought Korea sucked (not really I love the Han-pan-do) IM'ing has not been very good for us either, also primarily due to my inability to use it fluently. It is really nice to hear the opposite genders point of view.... new-age the opposite point of view is also why I tend to re
Although my readers may not agree, I personally find that I am much more eloquent as a writer than as a speaker. This becomes painfully obvious when I speak to someone on the phone. Once I am deprived of the time to think out my statements beforehand I become a taciturn twit (the vocab is in homage to Dan K.). When you couple this with the removal of body language and other non-verbal cues I would normally receive in a face to face conversation I become
Second floor is safer, but wow I agree, who want to lug cases of beer all that way? Welcome to the blogosphere BTW.
Marvin I don't even make the attempt to like you. You should thank dharmagrl for her forbearance. I would just club you like a baby seal and be done with it. (no baby seals were harmed during the writing of this post)
Some of the old BBS hands out there may remember the door game melee. For years it was one of the most in-depth gladiator simulations ever made. In fact it still stands as a monument to games that favor depth and complexity over flash and fanfare. This being said I want to let anyone who stumbles on this know that the original developer Banzai software (wit
To the extremely few who will find the time to read my ramblings, thanks for stopping by. This blog will keep the Jack Daniels inspirations for posterity, such as it is. Grab an article and join the fray.
