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."

Leaving Fort Benning

Today was my last day at Fort Benning!  After four days of running around and almost 200 miles added to my truck, I was able to accomplish my goal and get out of here before the weekend.  The whole process is unneccessarily difficult at times, but it is over and done with and I'll be able to enjoy the company of family and friends over the next week.

I'm really glad that I'm able to take this leave as I will soon be very busy in Afghanistan, and even after I get back I do not know when I will be able to make it back to the states.  Or even if I want to.  I had such a great time in Europe last summer that I don't know if I will want to leave at all!  I was able to go to several places in Europe and I look forward to both revisiting familiar spaces and discovering new locales for further adventures.

I'll post again before I leave to fill you in on my last week at home, but I can't wait to see my family and friends again!
