Hello Readers,
Some of you may be wondering, why there has been a complete lack of posting over the last several months.  So, I feel compelled to explain the lack of posting.  I have been attending some military training called basic officers leadership course phases II and III. Phase II covered tactical skills like unarmed combat, reflexive shooting, convoy leadership, urban operations, and forward operating base operations.  Phase III, which I'm in now is more classroom oriented, so hopefully, I will have more time to post.  This training has been very demanding on my time, and much of phase II involved being in the field where there was no internet access.  Here is a link to the phase I just completed, http://sill-www.army.mil/bolc2/ .  There are some interesting videos at the bottom of the page.  I expect to complete this training by the end of March.  Again, sorry for letting the site lie dormant without explanation.  I look forward to resuming normal daily posting.
Best regards,
Tim
