Military Retirement Less That Four Years Away
Today’s picture is called “Hanging up my Uniform”. Apparently, that’s what I’ll be doing in less than 4 years from now. I just went over 20 years in the Air Force at the end of last month. I’d planned to stay in pretty much as long as I can … which until recently meant 6 more years. Then this morning I ..read more
Tequila + C130 Flight = Very Bad Day
For you non-military types, this is a picture of a C-130 Hercules. It’s a plane that’s been flying, in one form or another, since before I was even born. And still today, it remains a workhorse … especially for intra-theater airlift. But that’s not the reason I chose it as my picture of the day.
You may have noticed the title of ..read more
Drinking Orange Joos
Never let it be said that they don’t feed us well when the military makes us deploy to Iraq. This is my second time here, and on both trips, the food was almost something to look forward to each day. Now don’t get me totally wrong. One Captain who we were eating dinner with one night described our DFACS in this ..read more

Long Travel Day
Ok, so I’m about to turn off my computer and pack it up. I leave tomorrow morning.
I’m very much looking forward to 24+ hours of travel time.
This is just a short post to let the “couple” of people regularly read my little blog know that I’ll probably be offline for the next 5-6 days. However, once I get ..read more
Is It Wrong To Use My Daughter As A Prop?
Ok, so I’ve been on a bit of a blog redesign kick this weekend (for those who know me, I bet you’re shocked, shocked, shocked). Btw, I am seriously impressed with Elegant Themes. Not only do they look good on the outside, but back-end options panel is probably the best I’ve seen … easy to change colors and layout right from the control ..read more
My T-Mobile Sidekick Died
My cell phone died the other day. I plugged it into the charger and left it on the shelf. A couple of hours later, I noticed that it only had one bar, and wasn’t recharging. I tried plugging the charger into another wall jack; no dice. Then I tried putting the sidekick on my car charger; still no ..read more
I Had No Internet For Five Weeks
… and it didn’t kill me !
Actually, it was kind of hard for the first week or so. The only way I could get online was when my t-mobile sidekick occasionally decided to get a good enough data connection. (definitely not while inside my dorm room). But really, since I was so busy during the long days, by the time I got ..read more
