Jackie Chan's Who Am I?

Listening to - The Storm Still Rages by Orphaned Land
(An Israeli metal band, I heard about them on NPR during a program about heavy metal musicians in Baghdad)

So my friend Linda said she wasn't too interested in reading an Army blog, which is fine by me, since she's not in the Army. To remedy the over-soldier-ness of this blog, I will attempt to keep things related to killing and dying down to less than 130% of my content. Shouldn't be too hard, since I'm not deployed right now, and drill...drill is usually not exciting. But it is funny to watch someone that just got back from basic training manhandle an M-16 like its a giant greasy semiautomatic carrot. Scary too.
You may notice, loyal and numerous readers, that I changed my header pic to something less devastatingly depressing. I took this new pic in Pristina, Kosovo sometime last summer. The skies there happen to be quite beautiful, which is a comment from anybody who spends far too much time inside the wire of the giant military-industrial-complex bases. Big Tobacco has good comments on this sort of phenomenon. Read his blog - click it over on the right, since I haven't yet figured out how to put links in posts. Being inside the wire all the time, believe me, was not what I would have chosen. It was also the opposite of my Iraq deployment in the respect, not to mention the billion others. But you know, Fobbits need ice cream too. By the way, this blog doubles as a free advertising service for my other favorite milblogs.
