The Beginnings

Sweet action! So i've never been an online story teller, blogger, forum junkie, or anything of that nature. But after reading a book by Colby Buzzell( My War:Killing Time in Iraq) I figured I would give it a shot. His writing was so truthful and direct that it grabbed my attention and forced me to follow his story. So if you are reading this I encourage you to buy/rent it. You will not regret it.

A little background: I am a 23 year old serving in the United States Army. Ive worked retail my entire life. I hated my life. Getting people to spend money they didnt have was how I made my living. Not something to brag about. So I had my midlife crisis a few decades earlier, and decided I was going to do something to give back to this country we live in. I am a 13-D-Field Artillery Tactical Datea Systems Specialist. Without disrupting OPSEC, it's basically the computer guy behind the artillery. In late spring/early summer I deploy to Korea. I am going to be a newly wed husband with a dog named Maximo. He is more than a son to me, and probably the coolest dog you will ever meet. I mean people come over and are like..wow he really is the coolest dog on the planet. Just kidding but he is squared away.
It is the purpose of this "blog" to chronical the events of my time before deployment to being in theater, and finally back home. I will cover all aspects of life, not just military. So thank you for reading, and I will see you soon!
