Keeping this brief, I am an ex Army Infantry soldier. I deployed with the 101st Airborne to the worst parts of Iraq in 06-07. Now I am happily a civilian and enjoying life. Before the army I was a Kerouac wannabe hitch-hiking punker 3 generations too late, now I suppose I am that same cat only the wanderlust has been beaten down inside of me and only leaks through this pen of mine... but oh when that steam whistle blows...
