How were you instantly missed in your intangible electronic way, during your recent short absence?
Missed knowing there as always gruff and ready sheepdog keeping the wolves away from the perimeter. Hate to use the term, but it is nice knowing you maintain is a “safe space” for blunt discussion, often found unpopular or worse even censored on other venues.
Deap
if you say so. My people run to gruff defense of the flock.
The book gives depth to that,Colonel. I was wondering. At a young age you had a choice of several ways to go. Academia was an obvious one, working straight up the Army ladder was another. And you were presented with choices thereafter. What made you choose the specific course you took?
EO
I was raised in the army. It was a family tradition. Enlisted soldiers pretty much always liked me so I knew I was going in the right direction. They always know a loser. I was one of “them” in the National Guard before I was an officer in the Regular Army.
