Two Things

[davidklecha]

The first, did you know Skippy has a blog? That’s Skippy of Skippy’s List: 213 Things Skippy Can’t Do. I think my personal favorite of the list may be #201: “Must not valiantly push officers onto hand grenades to save the squad.” But that’s just me. Anyway, Skippy seems to have gotten a blog, along with a few others, and it looks like pretty cool stuff, including user-submitted lists.

Sadly, I don’t think I was forbidden to do anything while I was in, other than that one time I was told I’d have all-night firewatch again if I said “actually” one more time… though in retrospect, I was being kind of annoying that day. Not my fault though that everyone else kept being wrong. Sheesh.

Anyway, in addition to that, linked from Skippy’s blog is a webcomic called Lawn Darts which seems to be following an Army (or National Guard/Reserve maybe?) Blackhawk unit as they deploy to Iraq. And, on the left of their page you’ll notice a bunch of other linked military webcomics, which I haven’t had a chance to go through yet and thus cannot recommend. But go read Lawn Darts. Oh, and this here is my favorite so far.
