I really ...I like your insight in this post!<br /><br /><br />j/k<br /><br />I really liked this. I do find it very interesting to know a bit more about a "random and anonymous" person I've somewhat gotten to know by reading what they write and how they react to what I write. <br /><br />The pink oatmeal sounds cool. I'm going to try that tomorrow. My grandmother and mom used to put food coloring in different drinks and foods to get me to drink or eat them. It's stuck with me ever since. Green milk with sugar was fun. <br /><br />I've always been a part of the civilian life, but reading your words about how life was for you when you got back from the military was very uneasy for me. I can't imagine being away from all the "everyday" bullshit and then being thrown right back into it. And I'm very glad, in a way you obviously know, you got that knee injury. It must be weird to really sit and think about it how one seemingly simple thing like that stayed with you and eventually saved you. That's just such a weird thought to me. <br /><br />That was such a good read. I really appreciate you opening up to us all like that. I know we all have our stories to share, but I'm glad you chose to share yours.The Angry Vegetarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581179413148677286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484260604289057334.post-17535855100060681112010-10-07T10:00:28.112-04:002010-10-07T10:00:28.112-04:00Even if I wanted to, I just can't completely r...Even if I wanted to, I just can't completely relate to you guys. The main reason is i lived in a different country. Our experiences are completely different. Even the education system is different.<br /><br />Btw, Janus, I have a question. This might be a sensitive topic to you so you can answer this or just ignore it.<br /><br />While in the army, have you killed anyone? If yes, how does it feel?Najhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15742904061116374108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484260604289057334.post-40341791998156894532010-10-07T04:22:50.831-04:002010-10-07T04:22:50.831-04:00Janus, we have more in common than I had previousl...Janus, we have more in common than I had previously thought or ever expected. My father served in the 101st airborne for a time before attending Ranger school. If you remember the Black Hawk training incident at Ft.Campbell, he was very nearly on one of those choppers, that should give you the time frame we we're there. I've been an army brat for all of the time I can remember and I even completed JROTC in high school. We had a four year stint in Budapest before I was old enough to finally get out of the house, im sure you can imagine the class gap in attending a private school in Europe (since it was the only english speaking school) while living on military pay grade, like you said, we weren't hurting but we were certainly not living the rich life. That experience taught me a lot about why I was proud of where I came from socially and economically and to not take shit from people because they think they are better than you. This has all been a bit jumbled but I just started writing and things came to me in that order. It was a brief little insight to who I am and I appreciate you opening up to us about yourself as well. As always, excellent post!<br /><br />-NHnhbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00479684729439666166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484260604289057334.post-52555388135419401212010-10-07T03:09:54.386-04:002010-10-07T03:09:54.386-04:00Great post I love viewing it erreday.Great post I love viewing it erreday.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02578675356233562599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484260604289057334.post-3020866386692846142010-10-07T02:39:05.649-04:002010-10-07T02:39:05.649-04:00This si all great, guys, its awesome to hear somet...This si all great, guys, its awesome to hear something deep about you in return. BlueRad, I was actually born in New Brunswick, we had the yearly shout off across the Van Buren bridge into Canada, seeing which town was the loudest across the river... A weird little memory you just inspired.<br /><br />Rorsch, I understand mate, and I have a feeling we're not alone in sharing tragic events in the past. But its what gives us the strength to face it all, isn't it? I've got your back mate.<br /><br />November, good to hear from you mate, and I'm sorry to hear about your friends. Being shot isn't fun, even when you survive. Body armor is a blessing, let me just say that.<br /><br />-JKaneJanus Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776878501473718346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484260604289057334.post-58811309911407124112010-10-07T01:58:52.158-04:002010-10-07T01:58:52.158-04:00You're lucky.

One of them missed having his nuts blown off by about an inch (shredded his inner leg muscle though). The other caught a bullet in the armpit. <br /><br />I skipped the army. I did my 18 hours a day working full time and doing college full time. I guess its a different means to an end trying to balance all that shit out. I came from a (fairly) low-income family too.MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394092223320661501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5484260604289057334.post-38168187991486526622010-10-07T01:53:30.153-04:002010-10-07T01:53:30.153-04:00Such disparagement in the switch from military to ...Such disparagement in the switch from military to civilian life. I've often wondered what it would be like to have that bond, that brotherhood amongst fellow soldiers.<br /><br />I don't think we share too much, as far as what you revealed here today. I grew up as a suburban child in the 80's. Middle-class. Middle-class problems.<br /><br />That is not to say we don't have anything in common. Also I can empathize with having one event be an unexpected catalyst for changing the way I look at things.<br />Not sharing that part, but just know I feel ya, and it does seem weird to read someone's deep thoughts and introspection.<br /><br />But it was worth the read.

Maine is really close to the New Brunswick border, but on the opposite side of Canada where I emmigrated to.<br /><br />Moving to another country is tough, jobs can be scarce for immigrants, and whatever education you received would become worthless once you reached the country. It's inspiring to hear your story, perhaps I will share mine another time, it's still a work in progress, but I hope to make the best out of it as I possibly can.BLUERADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01144030533794617764noreply@blogger.com
