Congratulations on getting home safe and sound. When you want to exploit your experiences with book rights and movie deals it is helpful to survive.
Above the glass ceiling we think about the impact of our actions in a 360 degree sphere of value creation. We have good court sense, understanding the full impact of our action vectors. As such, I wonder if you have fully considered the impact of your finished deployment on my ability to blog. I don’t think you have.
To keep the vitality of the writing project alive I think we should find some additional places you can travel and get in harms way. If I could suggest you become a kindergarten cop or a school hall monitor. Those little monsters can provide great material. Maybe you could be a taser test subject, or a hybrid car crash test dummy.
There’s no YOU in team and I hope once you have had a chance to relax and readjust to civilization you’ll once again embrace the fantastic opportunity to create material that you putting yourself in harms way affords us both.

With the chance of a Democratic president looming on the horizon, Former Roomate will soon have the perilous journey into civilian life to muse about, unless he manages to stay employed by the DOD, in which case he’ll have the opportunity to dodge the landmines of Clintonesque deciet, back stabbing broken promises, boredome induced plunging defense budgets, and the accompanying plummet in morale. Good times!

Firstly bravo to FRM for returning safe and well inspite of the well laid bureaucratic tripwires and landmines from the DOD. As Bigun has alluded to the size and number if IED’s to navigate and defuse are still plenty in waiting so with that I say…Equipment check…affirmative…right, remember move fast and keep low - happy hunting.
