Summer update for anyone still looking...
Politics aside, I love the USA. It's great to be free. I am a changed man since returning from my mission. I've grown up and I've learned to see things in perspective.
I finished my first semester of school since returning from Iraq. I ended up with a 3.0 GPA. I could have done better, but I'll say I was still adjusting to being home. I've caught up with all my friends and family and I've done almost everything I had planned on doing when I returned.
I have less sympathy and more aggression to anti-war protesters, and you'd better believe I was one of the many standing proud surrounding the church when SPC Micheal Hermenson was buried in Fargo, ND. I made sure that his family and friends didn't have to hear or see the whacko's from westboro baptist church. I'd like to punch them all square in the throat. If people only knew. I'm not sure if the anti-war people are certifiably insane (ala kim jong il) or if they really are that ignorant. It makes me sick that I defended their right to do things like that. Oh well. That's my job and I'd do it again. Speaking of which, I'm itching to go back. I've got two years of school left, and I really want to finish before I do more military, but I have some training lined up through my unit. I will be attending Air Assault school this fall, and I might take an ADSW job in Fort Benning where I would be able to attend Army Ranger school. Whatever I decide to do, I will always do my best and make everyone who knows me proud.
Wish me luck in the coming years and hopefully soon I will be on foreign soil once again fighting for the freedoms we all enjoy without a second thought.

What a comfort to read the words of a former combat soldier who's willing to go back! May you continue to do well in all you hope to accomplish! And thank you for your service.

What a treat to check in and find a post from you. I don't have any patience with the protester crowd either and I haven't even been through what you've been through. Good luck with school and getting settled in, retrained, etc. Give us a shout more often.

Good Day Fine Sir! I was stumbling across the internet blindly looking for schematics to build a home-made submarine/time machine when I found your blog. Although it has nothing to do with anything remotely close to what this blog is about I wanted to say hello. Thank you for writing whatever it is you are writing. You certainly are a good example to the people you are trying to set an example to. I for one support you in things that may interest you. The level of quality of your work is far better than my two websites, www.sendmeallyourmoney.com and www.totalscam.net/dietpills/herbalviagra/datingservice.html. Good luck with stuff!
