A Few Words from Lieutenant K

It has come to my attention that most people who read blogs, including myself, have a tendency to read the latest posts and disregard the rest. New readers of a particular blog miss out on some worthy content this way. Blogging is instant publishing, pure and simple, and it has a way of becoming immediate, or right in the moment. But many times a blog, especially a military blog, is a travelogue- the sharing of a journey. For example, this blog was started in January 2005, during the first month of pre-deployment training in Mississippi. If a novel we liked was only published one chapter at a time, we wouldn't be content with reading only the latest one. I recommend that you take some time to discover the archives when exploring a military blog that you like.

So, I hereby present shameless plugs of a few personal favorites from the last 14 months of this incredible and ongoing adventure:

Magic     Thoughts on Making Lists      We Support You – Part I      We Support You – Part II    The Passing of August    

Just Drop Me Off When This is Over      Flashbulb Thoughts    Slow-Motion Ladder     A Letter to the Republic for Which We Stand   

A Soldier’s Story   The Farm     2006: Year of the Eternal Optimist      The Glass Factory

This deployment is not over. I left my home in Salt Lake City, Utah in January 2005. I left the United States in June 2005. It’s been a long ride. I have been back to New Orleans for emergency leave. I will return to living within mere miles of the Rocky Mountains of Utah sometime this Spring/Summer. Yet I’m already getting nostalgic. Thank you sincerely for the continued support. I don’t have the time right now to respond to all the comments, but I do reply to every e-mail I receive. Simply know that your comments, e-mails, and support are much appreciated.
