To Whom It May Concern

Staring At Lapels

It's interesting how, on an army post, you don't look people in the eye when you are walking down the sidewalk, you stare intently, as hard as you can, to try and see their rank, because you have a split second sometimes to see the rank, and to address the person coming towards you, such as "Hello there master sergeant" or worse, having to salute some stupid officer.

Anyways, today, I saluted a specialist. Yep, I looked up at the last minute and saw her as she passed, that damn desert camo uniform, all I saw was the orange round thing and so I saluted, much to the giggling joy of both females, probably around 22 years old or so. I turned and "You aren't an officer, are you" and she replied "No sergeant". I just laughed and kept going. Hey, even NCO's make mistakes sometimes.

In other news, we had the small pox vaccinations. It's actually 'cow pox' as they call it. So far, despite seemingly everyone else getting a scabby build up under the gauze that we have to wear for 3 weeks, I have no build up, nothing much at all. I am wondering if it has something to do with my being around every imaginable ailment a cow could possibly have over 20 years or so of milking them. Who knows?

If I do end up having a strange craving for milk, or suddenly feeling sexually attracted to cattle, I'll be sure to run in and get this checked out. I'm not really sure what the side effects are, we were just told we have to get it done. Oh, I declined the anthrax vaccinations, WITH AUTHORITY, because I have heard bad things about it.

Hello my friend we meet again
It's been awhile where should we begin?
Feels like forever...
Within my heart of memories,
a perfect love that you gave to me
Oh I remember...
