Still Here

Well I thought I was not going to use this blog anymore, but maybe I've changed my mind. I ran across it today and decided that I just can't throw it away. The very first entry I made on this site was before I was injured. I just don't feel like letting go of that for some reason. I can't really explain it, but I would just rather keep it for sentimental reasons I guess. It is really interesting to see myself after a long time away from this site. After reading a few posts, I was flooded with many memories, some good, some not so good. From the day I was diagnosed with PTSD, I have refused to admit that I have any issues with all that I've been through. After reading some of these posts, it is pretty clear that maybe I was wrong. Between my last post here, and now, I have reluctantly admitted that I may have a "couple" of issues, but it isn't all that bad. Anyway I have a host of new issues that really eat at me. Mostly to do with the state of our nation and government, and my feelings on Foreign Policy, blah, blah, blah. But right now, I don't feel like getting into all that crap. Maybe later? I'll just use this post to say that I'm back online, and I'll be blogging away about all sorts of things you probably don't want to hear anyway. I'm doing good, the family is great, we're going on a short vacation soon, and the new job is really good, in spite of all of it's ups and downs. I do regret taking a job working for the "Governator of Kaleeforneeyah" but the pay started out better than the Army, barely. Now with 15% less, it is making me re-think the Re-Enlistment approach. If I end up one of the "lucky" ones who were hired and then told, oops sorry, we can't afford to keep you, the military may be the only viable option for me. With the economy in shambles and getting worse, finding a worthy job that supports a large family is more difficult than ever. But for now, I'm just going to ride the wave of insanity and hope that I can escape by the skin of my teeth as I often seem to be able to do. But for the grace of God, go I.
