. . .Which I am very happy about. The other Army finalists are two majors and two E-8s, a master sergeant and a first sergeant. While I am definitely the oldest member of the group, the other bloggers are much my senior in rank and (current) military experience (Although I was a sergeant before they were housebroken.)

In other news I was just interviewed for a Florida-based show called Growing Bolder. I talked with the very enthusiastic hosts about the Army, breaking my neck, adoption and racing.
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)
