My daughter Lisa (far right, first standing row) is a freshman at the University of Richmond--Go Spiders!--and a member of Kappa Alpha Theta, Epsilon Psi Chapter. This afternoon, I had ten nominations in the Milbloggie Award contest and was barely in third place. At the close of voting tonight I had 30 nominations putting me solidly in 2nd place with voting beginning now. Part of the reason I jumped so fast in the standings was Lisa asked her sisters in Theta to vote for her Dad's blog. A dozen responded.
Thank You to Kappa Alpha Theta, Epsilon Psi Chapter, University of Richmond.
My daughter Lauren (middle of middle row, black shirt) sent text messages to her soccer teammates at Juniata College and I got more votes.
Thanks to Juniata Women's Soccer.
Thanks also to Jack, Meredith, Akinoluna, Kristine, Brigitte, Sarah, David and everyone else who nominated me.
Now I need you to go back vote! Winners announced Wednesday, prizes awarded at the Milblogging conference on Saturday of this week.
Veteran of four wars, four enlistments, four branches: Air Force, Army, Army Reserve, Army National Guard. I am both an AF (Air Force) veteran and as Veteran AF (As Fuck)
