I appreciate the offer, Pseudo, but it's a little late for that now. I'll explain more when I get home. Thanks for thinking of me, and of AWOL, though

The End; the Retail Blues in Misc JoeUser Forums

In the last episode, I talked about how I’d tried over the years spent at the soulless software company to get to be the manger, but only succeeded in getting myself in trouble. Because I wouldn’t bow to the higher mind and kiss the right asses, I couldn’t advance, and I felt like I was deliberately sabotaged by my final boss just so that he could keep me in line. Rig

Reply to Shouldn't War Experience Count for a Soldier? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

Shit heel. You know, I was hoping you would really write something insightful on this topic, that you could illustrate with your experience, instead you regurgitate the works of others. as for my college education, or lack thereof, I thought we had this conversation. Why don't you tell us about your college education, there, Grey?

It's just a piece of ribbon... in Misc JoeUser Forums

Greywar posted an article the other day where he talked about the medals people are getting awarded for their participation in Operation Iraqi Freedom. He felt that desk jockeys shouldn’t be getting Bronze Stars while the door-kickers are going home with ARCOMs, and I gotta say I agree with him. The award system in the army is kinda weird anyway, at times it seems so

The self-discovery just won't stop; the Hard Road in Misc JoeUser Forums

For those of you who haven’t been keeping up, last blog was about me needing to learn to listen, and how my blind spots can affect my job. In a response to my article, Angelamarie88 asked me some questions that I’m having a difficult time answering. *You haven't yet addressed an issue that is glaring to me. Do you really believe that your career field,

Reply to The journey of self-discovery continues; the Hard Road in Misc JoeUser Forums

Well... this obviously deserves and answer, but I'm a little rushed for time. First, thanks for writing, Angela, I knew who you are, I've read some of your stuff, too. I don't know if I ever thanked you for showing up for the wedding, but I am really grateful. And you aren't fat, you're a very beautiful young lady. As for the rest of it, I think the topic deserves better analysis and explanation than I can give it right now, so I think it may be a blog

Reply to No, Playing "Combat" Solitaire *Doesn't* = a Bronze Star in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I'm having an issue here where I'm trying to get a soldier awarded an AAM for some work he did outside the normal scope of duties. He stepped up and showed some initiativem and his actions made life a lot easier for the rest of his platoon, but because I am only asking for an AAM, he may not get it. The awards thing in the army has always bugged me. Maybe I'll write in up in my blog too.

The journey of self-discovery continues; the Hard Road in Misc JoeUser Forums

One of my soldiers came to me with a problem today, and didn’t want my help. They were reluctant at first to discuss it with me, but they needed to talk it over with someone. They described the issue to me, and I listened to what they had to say, then asked some questions to make sure I understood as best I could. I analyzed it with them, then started offering potenti

It would certainly be nice to spend Valentine's Day with the one I care about, but it's been years since I've been able too. Instead, we try to make quality time when we are together.

Reply to My Views in Religion JoeUser Forums

You know, religion has been a touchy subject for me for a long time. When I started blogging I thought maybe I would get around to exploring how I feel about it, but then Life-happens broadcasted my site to everyone in the family, taking away a good measure of my internet anonymity. I figured I'd have to put the discussion of religion on the back burner because I knew all of my young cousins were reading, and I felt I had a responsibility to them. You'

Reply to I look for the road to wander on in Welcome JoeUser Forums

Welcome to Joe, Lost. I hope you find that writing will help you organize your thoughts, I know it does for me. Seeing so many of my family and friends take this up because they see me doing it is kind of humbling, but I bet it'll be rewarding too.
