It Was NOT Suppose to End This Way
It was NOT suppose to end this way, but it did. What was supposed to be (for me, anyway) the final triumph, the final “hurrah” of my career before retirement instead became a very sobering reminder of the dangerous nature of the jobs we do. 2017 Fleet Week New York came to and end tonight; … Continue reading It Was NOT Suppose to End This Way
Central Park Adventure and Pier Side Arrivals
New York City traffic never knew what hit it yesterday (May 23). I am confident more than a few drivers (including one city bus driver) learned to never mess with a Sailor driving a large government van at speed carrying emergency media gear to a major event! Today is the first event of Fleet Week. … Continue reading Central Park Adventure and Pier Side Arrivals

The rain moved in and made it a very wet drive. But, as I told my mom in an email … Continue reading A Collision of Humanity

We ran two during boot camp; the first was to sort of gauge where we were in meeting Navy standards. The second was the official PRT. I passed it with … Continue reading The Great Detachments Begin
The Maturity of Wisdom
So my retirement process from the Navy has sort of been put on hold. Yes, I’m still retiring in September and yes, I’m still freaked out and excited by the prospect of, for the first time in 20 years, not knowing where I’ll be at the end of the year. No, I’m part of the … Continue reading The Maturity of Wisdom
