muskrattle and a bonzai run to portland

Only the elite, high speed, squared away freedom fighters get to choose locations like Honolulu and Seattle for their Reserves/Guard active duty days. And since I finagled my way into just such an arrangement, someone in Washington must think me an elite, high speed, squared away freedom fighter. I can’t argue.
After flying from NYC [...]

by air and by sea, to see a newly minted 4-year-old

Wednesday afternoon, I rode in a Cessna Skyhawk from Honolulu, over Molokai, and onto Maui.  After we landed, I learned my new friend had never landed at Maui before, because his instructor told him it was the most difficult runway in the U.S. to land a private plane, since the winds come off the ocean [...]

I never actually expected to have a trip to Hawaii count as “annual training” when I saw the email mentioning an opportunity to do just that about 6 months ago.  But here I am.  In Hawaii.  Getting paid.
I arrived Friday afternoon after 10 hours next to a 25-year-old PhD student from Charleston who came for [...]

An unpardonable sin

You don’t lie about fighting in a war. It’s enough to disqualify a candidate for office, regardless of his or her other qualifications. But Connecticut senatorial candidate Richard Blumenthal, who, according to the New York Times, obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps to avoid Vietnam, remains in […]

shaking hands with the general

There’s nothing quite like the hysteria a military unit will feel (during peacetime, anyway) shortly before a general officer is slated to visit.  There’s mopping of floors, straightening of furniture, and polishing of boots going on throughout the building instead of any of the work that’s supposed to be observed and commended.  I’ve always thought [...]

a most inappropriate line of questioning

Last weekend, I was at my National Guard base and learned the following from a Captain who has been my drinking buddy traveling companion a few times this year:
Captain Lauren:  You know Major Yancy?
Me:  Yeah.  Sort of.
Captain Lauren:  She just pulled me aside and asked me if I am having sex with my boyfriend.
Me:  WHAT?  [...]

In 2001, I worked on the 51st floor of the Bank of America tower, the tallest building in the southeast.  I’d been at work about 30 minutes when my phone rang.  It was one of my lawschool classmates who worked at Turner:
she:  “Go to cnn.com.”
me:  “Why?”
she:  “Because a plane just hit the World Trade Center.”
me:  [...]

On Saturday, I spent an entire day in a tent with a black Master Sergent named Jon. At our first conversational lull, Jon belted out this chunk of wisdom:
MSgt Jon: You know, black people are smarter than white people when it comes to animals.
Me: How’s that?
MSgt Jon: Animals are not your friend, [...]

Memorial Day 2009

As a 3-time OIF/OEF veteran, I have a high appreciation for those who have served in the United States military, particularly those who have given their lives for our country.  Please take the time to appreciate the sacrifices that have been made for all of us by those who have raised their right hands and sworn to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. 

530712_arlington_national_cemetery.jpgWhile our family was in the Great Smoky Mountains hiking this year, a few years ago, we went to Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day and watched the changing of the sentinels at the Tomb of the Unknowns, the President’s laying a wreath there, and the black leather-clad Rolling Thunder participants who provided stark contrast to the thousands of white headstones. 

I highly recommend visiting Arlington or a local military cemetery one year on Memorial Day.  Put a flag at one of the headstones.  Be grateful.
