Introduction

Where shall I start? Well if you already know me you know that I am a very opinionated person. Some friends of mine suggested that I should have a talk show. I thought I would start small and see what happens. As I said I have an opinion on just about everything. I am easily irritated by just plain stupidity. Note I said stupidity not ignorance. I am sure we all know the difference. I did a little research on starting a blog and making it successful. Having a theme is one of the suggestions. I don’t like to limit myself however and I think in keeping with the theme of my call-sign “Willy Nilly” we will talk about various things as they excite or anger me. Things change every day and if you stand still you get left behind.


I probably should start with a little about myself. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. That being said I do not speak for the United States Government or the United States Army. My opinions and sentiments are mine and mine alone. While I might poke fun at some aspects of Army life I am and always will be loyal to my country and the people serving her. Nothing says I have to agree with the government or the Army all the time. That is one of the freedoms we enjoy in the United States of America one that those in the military defend every day. I say those because there are some very courageous people out there on the roads and in the villages of Iraq and Afghanistan every single day doing the real hard work. I have been fortunate in that during my first deployment in Iraq I flew all over the country and was never hit with enemy fire nor did I lose any friends. The same cannot be said for a lot of other folks who have served. I am not trying to diminish my role in the deployments, just putting it into perspective. I am no “PX Ranger” as we say in the military I am not out to take credit for something I didn’t do. I did my job nothing more.

I suppose that is about it for now. I should probably start thinking of topic for the Inaugural post. I hope everyone enjoys the posts whether they make you laugh or make you want to beat the crap out of me. I guess now that I will be addressing certain topics I will have to do a little more research before I open my mouth as it were. I don’t want to sound like some of the uninformed inflammatory morons on TV today. I hope you like the first post.
