I’m so […]
• Fort Hood, Sandy Hook and Powerlessness March 22, 2013
  I hope I don’t offend a lot of people off with this post. It is not my intent. I’ve been wanting to write about a lot of things that have been happening lately but I’ve found that when I sit down to write, the right words don’t come to me. So I realize that writing about Sandy Hook almost 6 months later is probably, well, behind the times. But I’ve finally f […]

• Packing Out February 28, 2013
  I’m packing today. Packing up things from the house that has been my home for ten years. We’ve been lucky as a military family: this house has been the one we’ve come back to after schools, after deployments, after everything. I never expected to put down roots in the army. I never expected that when I got off the plane here in April of 1999, a young sergean […]
• Fight the Power – of Cravings February 27, 2013
  So I’ve been battling with sugar since about November. I’ve always had an unhealthy relationship with sugar. When I was a kid, my mom was super strict about it so I was the little fat kid begging for extra twinkies at my friends’ houses. Sugar has always been my downfall. One of the biggest things I can thank my mom for was being super strict about soda. I a […]
• Junk Mail February 21, 2013
  Lately I’ve become obsessed with my junk mail account. See, many moons ago, back in the 90s when email wasn’t prolific and you were really ahead of the game if you had an account, I opened my first hotmail account. This was back in the day when AOL was still relevant and hotmail was free. Then I discovered online shopping. Yes, I have been an Amazon customer […]
• My Commander’s Reading List February 19, 2013
  So I’ve left command in the rear view mirror. I’m signed out of Fort Hood and on to a future that no longer involves direct leadership at the tactical level. There will probably be a series of posts on my life in command, now that I’m free to talk about different things. Every officer has heard of the Chief of Staff of the Army reading list or some other pro […]

You kn […]
