War is a drug, and I am addicted.
I have been a member of the military for 12 years. I started in the navy in 2001 as a combat corpsman and deployed to protect the Marines of 3rd Battalion 6th Marines in Afghanistan. I loved it. I joined the Marines in 2007 as a combat correspondent but soon felt my skills were being wasted behind a desk. Now I am a AAV crewman. The Marines taught me how to write and take photos so I use this blog as a way to keep these skills up. I am a warrior, it is all I know. I love the smell of cordite, the sound of gun fire and the feel of a rifle in my hands. I do not carry a gun and pray I never have to use it. I dream of the day that I am allowed to use the skills I have spent a lifetime honing. I am an angry individual. I rant about the things that piss me off. I don’t give a fuck about your opinion of me. I am not going to change, I can’t be saved.
