Mornin'
I picked your photos up on my Google Alert for Strykers. Glad to have found it. Not just for the pics but having read your "about this blog" I think I lean in your direction .. or maybe you lean in mine...
I was also a journalism student in a non-traditional school but had to switch to English because I was/am too verbose for journalism.
Ok, in truth, even my fav prof from time to time marked my work with things like "word drunk"...
Having reached the retired-to-a-nice-senior-community stage of life, I've adopted several soldiers deployed in Iraq. One I've never heard from but I assume he gets the goodies I send. The other 2 have blogs and are Strykers in Diyala province. Two very different young men.
Take a moment and stop by

The AP picked him up somehow and stories about his blog appeared across the US. Kinda cool to see Suspect turning up on my Google Alert...
Your photos today made me think of Suspect and his buddy Toy Soldier.
They're on one of those 15 mo deployments and they were burned out a long time ago.
Just thought about somebody else you should check out if you're concentrating on the military thing.

LT is Navy and stationed in Baghdad. I don't have a relationship with him but I read his blog. I sometimes suspect the blog is his job, but if so the Navy is way more tolerant of criticism than it was when my son was a sailor.
Ok, I said I'm verbose!
Keep up the good work.
