Appalachian Patria

Appalachian Intellectual. To me that means plain thinking. I am A Non Commissioned Officer in the Army Reserves. Let me say...My views expressed here are mine and not those of The U.S. Army, Army Reserve or my fellow brethren in The National Guard. This is entirely Sua Sponte. This is My Thinking. I'm single and in my mid 30's. Politicaly, I'm a Libertarian. (Again, Sua Sponte.I do not represent the Libertarian Party.)I love my native Appalachia, Rock n Roll and...I love God.

I started blogging for two reasons. I was concerned about the changes to the area I live in, Southern Appalachia and I was about to go to the war. I was in Iraq in 06 and 07 and now Kuwait in 11 and 12. Blogging was a means of documenting my experiences and hoping it would help gain clarity. I don't feel that way about it any more. It's said people write blogs because they are frustrated, that's why people read them too. That makes us sound apocalyptic. Are we? Let it be said, what I say here is of my own thinking. This is entirely Sua Sponte and not an official representation of the U.S. Military or the U.S. Government as a whole.

Devotion to Depth.

I've had a busy week and the last couple of days not so much sleep. Another section was a little burdened, so, I was somone senoir to spare and was tasked out to help them. That put me on night shift in the middle of the week. getting in around 0100 every morning nad a room full of men getting up three or four hours later is not conducive to rest.
It's been an interesting week as far as things go here. Some I can't discuss, and some that I can.

Facebook...It's face value. Oh, I'm there. But I do prefer blogging. Blogging has depth. You don't find that with any social networking site. But, I've slacked off on blogging... Once because I was bored with it. And off and on now because it's bee hard to find minutes to devote to depth. Another thing about Facebook, it's a privacy fallacy. Someone figured out a way for the average joe to hack private pictures. Every little app is digging your information. It's as bad as the Untied States.

OK...my day is about to start.

I agree with you about Facebook and the apps digging for information!

I just posted a blog that as a soldier, you might find interesting. The passing or an era--two men I knew who were POWs in Japan.
