Welcome

To new readers and old alike: welcome to my blog! I hope that the people I care about will feel better about me being deployed to Afghanistan and stationed in Germany because they can follow me online. Feel free to contact me here if you have any questions or have a specific topic you would like me to talk about instead of my usual ramblings.


Sam Damon in Once an Eagle:

"Ah God. God, help me. Help me to be wise and full of courage and sound judgment. Harden my heart to the sights that I must see so soon again, grant me only the power to think clearly, boldly, resolutely, no matter how unnerving the peril. Let me not fail them."

Introduction

Hey guys, my name is Michael and I'm writing this blog primarily to communicate with friends and family that might not otherwise be able to communicate with me during my deployment to Afghanistan and my stay in Europe with the Second Stryker Cavalry Regiment (2SCR). 

A little more about me:  I graduated from West Point in 2009, branched Infantry, and I am currently outprocessing at Fort Benning after completing the Infantry Basic Officer's Leader Course, Airborne School and Ranger School.  I am headed home at the end of this week on leave before I head to Germany for a short time and then will be deployed to Afghanistan.

2SCR is already deployed to Afghanistan, so I will meet them downrange and take my platoon in theater.  I feel as well prepared as I can be and look forward to performing the service I signed up for and trained for all these years.  Look for more posts as I have more interesting stories to tell.
