I've been extremely busy lately in a course I cannot discuss. I finally managed to get off a little earlier than usual and decided to get away and say hi. I'll be bouncing around the country for a few more months before going overseas. While I'm traveling, if any of you are in the Ft. Bragg or Ft. Lewis areas drop me a line, perhaps we can have our own mini milblog conference.

Francis Marion is not my given name but the name of the United State's first unconventional warrior. He is most remembered from a comment made by British Lieut. Col. Tarleton who said, "As for this damned 'Swamp Fox', the devil himself could not catch him." Francis Marion, or the Swamp Fox, successfully fought the British in South Carolina and was a significant contributor in their eventual defeat at Yorktown.
I have been a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier since 1988. I was involved in the initial "invasion" of Haiti, completed two tours in Afghanistan, a combat tour as an advisor in the Republic of the Philippines, and I am now working as a contractor in Iraq.
