Back in Business
We're back, baby! I've cleared it with my command to keep posting as long as I don't post pictures from the PRT or any of our operations and that none of the subject matter discusses any of our operations, past, present and future. Aside from the occasionally picture of me giving toys to a refugee or the standard mug for the team photo, this has never been an issue anyway, and I never discuss operational issues anyway as a matter of course, so it shouldn't have much of an effect on content.
I'm freakin' ecstatic! I've been working on a couple of articles and applying at some graduate schools, so I've had to write a few Statements of Purpose lately which, I might as well share with you all. After all, content is content, plus its a nice restatement of why I'm out here doing this, away from my loved ones and friends...er...which you might expect given its called a "Statement of Purpose". Duh.
This Statement of Purpose (opens pdf) is the one I sent to American University. I'm looking at a couple of Peace and Conflict Resolution masters programs. AU's School of International Service and ICAR at George Mason University. Both in the Washington, D.C. area. If they go by my undergrad GPA for an intelligence indicator I'm screwed! I consider it more an indication of a 22-yr-old's lack of motivation and direction. But oh, well. We'll see what happens. Wish me luck!
Glad to be back!!

Glad to see you back. I was in Mosul when the CSH posted after the unfortunate incident there. They were shut down also. I just talked with a CA officer IRR type who volunteered and had to shake up the papers to get his name on the list! He should be over there in the next few months. I work for VET Center now. Take a look at my profile and site if you have a chance.
Good luck in your pursuit of the masters program. Something tells me it will work out for you. They would be "fortunate" to have you. Still praying for my favorite soldier.

Excellent. Military intelligence doesn't have to be an oxymoron.
Glad to see the blog back. Good luck with the Grad school apps. Jeremy and I are rooting for you and your lovely wife to come on up to DC!
I just found and started reading your blog, and I'm cheering for you in your grad school pursuits. Sounds to me like you'd be great at peace and conflict resolution. Best of luck!
