I still read your articles.

It’s the little guys like you that are telling the biggest story. It’s not how many who read but who.

The writing is on the wall for active duty bloggers. This one is costing you money. Consider starting a new blog under a nom d’ guerre where you post your politically incorrect thoughts and transfer this one over to a free blog like wordpress.

If you’re going to buck the system, you’re going to have to take on the attitude of the insurgent. You need auxiliaries.

For what it’s worth, I read every day. I’m interested in both your personal and professional life because I’m moving in a similar direction. I’m 40, in the process of joining the ARNG as a 68W, in a state where I’m almost certain to deploy as soon as I finish IET.

I have a wife and son who will be dealing with the separation and the same worries as your family, so please keep on posting both sides of the coin. I need all the input & advice I can get!

Later!

Doc,

You keep writing and I’ll keep reading. As far as OpSec goes, as long as you don’t detail planning and show our weapons, things are pretty much ok? Have you read some of the front line bloggers? They certainly haven’t been curtailed due to OpSec. Take it up with your C.O. I, for one would love to read more of the actual day to day happenings while you were deployed.
So hang in there….
