A brief overview of my life in the U.S. Army.

Introduction
So I'm sitting around having a few laughs with friends telling a funny story about something that happened when I was in the Army, and someone will often say, "you ought to write a book."  So, hear  we are.  I'm not a writer but willing to give it a go.
The following is meant to entertain and maybe enlighten some about the experiences I've had.   This  project may have started from a laugh, but in no means do I intend to lessen the seriousness of military service, leave out the tough times or events that maybe questionable.  I do intend to change the names of all individuals except myself. 
Because  the Internet is "out there" I'm leaving out parts of this story from this site that maybe inappropriate for a general audience.
