I haven't figured out how to edit the About Me stuff ...

... so here it is as a post.

I'm supposed to say something here. It's all on my first post, but here goes: Retired Army sergeant (including Active Guard/Reserve), infantry mostly; some military intelligence, armored cavalry and flight operations. 11th Armored Cavalry in Vietnam. Married to Priscilla on Aug. 2, 1972. She is a retired Girl Scout. Three children -- Michael, retired Army aviation platoon sergeant, two Iraq tours with 4th Infantry Division, two Afghanistan, one with 4th ID, second with 1st Armored Division; Kathleen, retired Air Force officer, RC-135 navigator, five deployments to a desert location we're not supposed to identify; and Casey, two Iraq tours with 3d Stryker Brigade, 2d Infantry Division, drill sergeant for three years at Fort Benning, now with an infantry battalion at Benning. More me: BS journalism. Worked for five daily newspapers in Texas, fired by three, so I must have done something right. Fifth generation Texan, living in Florida until the final trip home.
