Still kicking around

Yes, I'm still alive. I was slated to go to Iraq with 2nd LAAD Battalion to augment a Provisional Security Battalion but the entire deal got canked; everyone ended up going back to their old units. So I'm still in Beaufort for the next month at least. I have nothing interesting or witty to say today (some would argue that I never do). I did find out the other day that an old buddy of mine doing VIP security work in Afghanistan gave parts of my blog to the General he was protecting to read read over. Killing time I guess. Story goes that the General read over it and then in a somber tone said to my friend "Well, you have to remember that they're are people like this out there". Made me smile. I suppose taht I at least sparked some interest in him though, he kept reading them; I even got a commendation on my "word usage".
