All of this is work of the imagination, along the lines of historical fiction. Any resemblance to any person, living or dead, is purely coincidental. It is not autobiographical. Certain historical events did occur, similar to how described herein, but definitely not with the characters I invented. As for any friends who feel they see themselves in here, I can assure you, it just is not so.

Profanity - sometimes unavoidable in military situations. Used stars ****.
Violence - again, sadly, unavoidable at times, but the minimal amount to support the story line.
Sex - adult relationships alluded to; some pickup activity; no sex scenes.

This blog is neither for nor against any political party, religion or ethnic group. Sole purpose is family friendly entertainment.
