The long haul is over (with a big long sigh and a tear in one eye). After the most stressful semester in the history of semesters (that being fall 2007) and the less painful spring semester, I will be graduating. This is probably the time to get nostalgic.… 1 Comment

In November 2004 my unit was deployed to a small operating base in eastern Afghanistan. My training prepared me for what I was about to encounter: long sleepless nights, rationed food and water, traversing rough mountainous terrain, and staying alive during arduous firefights.… Post the First Comment

It's funny to be writing a "farewell" column. I'm not leaving. Well, at least I'm not leaving in the traditional sense.
