thanks for serving

Havn't wrote in a long time. It is sad how life has consumed me in the past year or so. I miss the desert. I miss that feeling of purpose and being a part of something that mattered.

Before i even returned from the desert, we got the news that my base was one of the many that would be closing. Since that time, those assigned to my unit as well as myself have been stuck in this bizarre custody battle between the military and the politicians.


the reality of the statement.....'you can love the military but they'll never love you back' .............is a slap in the face that continues to sting throughout the painfully slow process of our base closesure.

the selfishness and injustices i've witnessed sicken me at times.

but then that is government i guess.
