Three Months After Moving Off Base

This coming weekend will mark three months living in my house, and I couldn’t be any happier.  After moving out of the barracks on Fort Carson to a house located in a town south of the base, it did take some getting used to.  I mean, I’ve been living on bases for seven and a half years, being used to the bugle calls, inspections, and other random garbage that comes to living in the barracks.  One thing I didn’t like was that I got really sick for the first couple of weeks living there.  I don’t know if it was an adjustment sickness, or just the Army crud leaving my body.  Anyways, I started getting better late in April and continued to do some of the processing out that I missed.  I didn’t have to be in too big of a hurry because for one I was staying in the area, and I was getting medically retired, which put me in the same situation as twenty-plus year retirees.  I ended up finishing my processing out in the middle of May, got my DD-214, and waited till my ETS date to turn in my CAC card for my retirement card.  As I was waiting, I started to organize some of my possessions at my house, putting my things where I want them as I start to get furniture for the place.   Also, I began my routine of taking care of my house and property by killing weeds, mowing the lawn (which I had to borrow my neighbor’s mower for), trimming trees on what I can do with the limited tools I have, and picking up leaves and branches after bad storms.  There was a bad hail storm that came through my town in the middle of May that took down some huge branches from all of my trees in my yard.  The good thing that came out of the storm is that now I have firewood for once I get a fire pit, but the bad thing is the town doesn’t have a brush pickup service so I have to cut the branches down little by little to put in my garbage can for pickup every week.  As a result, I have a pile of branches in my backyard that slowly shrinks every week when I cut them for the garbage.  However, I’m going to try a place to dump the brush before it starts getting really cold here in Colorado.  
Quite nice, I do say 


In late June I went back to Illinois to visit my parents and some friends of mine for about two weeks.  The main reason for the trip was to discuss with my folks on how to bring some access furniture they have that was going to be given to me over to my house.  After much planning, we decided to do the shipping in September or October, around my birthday.  But it was good to see my parents and friends during my stay in Illinois, I got to go to a White Sox (the first time in ten years), I saw some friends I haven’t seen in many years, and along seeing the areas I grew up in and around.  I am still sad and angered at how Illinois is right now.  When going by areas hung out in, I saw the deterioration of neighborhoods that used to be very nice when I was younger.  I left Illinois to go back home after the Fourth of July, I loaded my car up with as much of my stuff as possible from my parent’s house and went on the road.  My dad drove out to my house as well, with his truck filled with some of my things along with what my parents gave me.  The trip took two days, only because my father wanted to stop at a hotel.  When we got to my house, I showed him around the place.  My dad was very pleased, he loved the house and the neighborhood.  Then, to my surprise, my mom was coming out to see me as well.  She ended up flying to Colorado for a weekend stay in the area.  To my surprise, my mom liked the house but made a lewd comment about the population in the area, which resulted in me not having her meet my neighbors.  My mom ended up flying back to Illinois on Monday and my dad left a couple days later.  In the end, it seemed to be good that my folks came to visit.  To my surprise, I ended up getting quite a few things from them, like a lawnmower, television, bed, air compressor, washer and dryer, lawn chairs, an outdoor grill, a new garage door opener, and even a printer for my computer.  Now, as I continue to organize all my possessions to where I want everything, I now have to start finding some furniture, preferably shelves so I can start getting my books off the floor, and also get my sports card collection in a nice storage area as oppose to the floor.  There’s a lot of work that comes with a house, and surprisingly enough, I don’t mind it one bit.

Yes, I’m Still Alive! Sorry to disappoint you all………

Hello everyone!  Did you miss me? Are you mad that I’m still alive? I know some of you may be glad to hear from me, but I know some other people that wish I was six feet under, one, in particular, is this SJW piece of shit that likes to denounce the US Military and call himself a patriot at the same time.  If that wasn’t bad enough, he even has the gall to cower behind Christ while bad-mouthing the very same organizations that protect his life and rights.  This must be something that his leftist friends got him into, along with their flag burning practices.  I would never have thought anyone who hated their time in the Military would lower themselves to commit such acts, and yet turn around to parade around people that he’s a Veteran and getting benefits from the VA like some sour mouth welfare case.  I’m sorry, but as I said before, if you hated your time in the Military so much to where you denounced it or think of it as a mistake, then don’t acknowledge yourself as a Veteran and don’t try to get benefits from the VA, because if you really felt like your Military service was a mistake or a regret, you wouldn’t even have any part of the Military after you separated. 



Here's your sign 



Well, I also heard this guy was going to watch me from time to time.  Wow, for someone that is accusing me of being a stalker, he’s really calling the kettle black.  Maybe it’s something he does now when someone doesn’t agree with his views, just like all the other SJW/Antifa fags that beat up people who disagree with them.  Maybe that’s why one of his other former friends got the boot from his life.  A few months ago, this guy that knew the asshole too messaged me on Facebook about his falling out with him.  We ended up talking a little bit online until he stopped responding, probably just getting bored with the conversation or had other important things to do.  He was a guy who had the same political views as I did, and he got his ties cut because of it.  I just told him not to worry about it, because our former friend is a humorless, easily butthurt SJW that thinks he’s right at every issue or conversation.  I mean, this idiot gets offended by UFOs. 

You are a special kind of stupid 



Alright, the shit is out of my chest, and now time to talk about some actual meaningful topics.  Well, it has been quite a strange last ten months since my last post.  First off, I am no longer in the Army.  I am medically retired as of May 22nd of this year.  The medical board process for me started back in October after a very bad nervous breakdown I had from the result of my so-called high-speed unit pushing their Soldiers to the brink of suicide.  It was suggested by my Therapist to do so, being I was planning on getting out the following year despite many attempts from my section to talk me into re-enlist.  At first, I didn’t want to go through it because I’m not a fan of collecting disability, mainly because of the bunches of people that take advantage of it.  However, once I started the med board process, my life started to get much calmer, and surprisingly my unit didn’t bother me all that much for six months until my terminal leave started.  I ended up getting my percentages in January, and it declared I was to be medically retired from the Army.  So, overall, I’m glad I went through the process.   Also, I bought a house!  I decided to go with buying a house instead of renting an apartment or townhome because of a certain thing I have to have.  For instance, I play guitar and having my house I can play as loud as I want without bothering anyone, according to how I set everything up.  Also, I’m not too big of a people person, and having to live in a building with other people trying to know your personal business is not really my cup of tea, let alone if a thief is living on the same premises.  I decided also to remain in the state of Colorado after I was separated from the Military.  The reason why is because when I first got to this state, I instantly loved it; the environment, the people, the culture, and the economy.  I knew for a fact I didn’t want to go back home to Illinois, which is in dire straits no thanks to those idiot leftist politicians running the state down to the ground.  I miss the place though, I miss Chicago, and I miss the environment.  But I had to leave, especially how my situation was when I signed up for the Army, which will be a topic of discussion for another blog. 

Overall, looking back at my time in the Army, I would have to say I was very disappointed, largely of how and the organization has become.  When I signed up, I thought I was going into a place where it was much better than any other civilian job in existence, people caring for one another, and having a purpose in serving.  Boy, was I wrong!  The Army as it turned out was no different than the same, backstabbing, career-focused corporate world I worked in for six years before getting laid off, with the only difference is you can’t walk away from it so easily as a bad civilian job. However, despite the Army’s shortcomings, I don’t regret serving at all.  I mean, if it wasn’t for the Army I wouldn’t be in the position I am in now; debt-free, a homeowner, and finishing up school.  The only regret I would have is not joining at a younger age as opposed to signing up at twenty-nine, because I would’ve been able to do so much more than I was capable of in my youth, unlike my later years.  But, I ended up proving a lot of people wrong, from the time I signed up to the day I signed out on terminal leave.  I actually made Sergeant, which came late in my time of service but still thought that was never going to be achieved.  I’m getting a good disability check every month, my college education is fully paid for, and I live in a nice area of Colorado.

So now, what is there to do now?  I already said I’m finishing up college, a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting then working on getting my CPA license for the state of Colorado.  I’m starting to write and draw again, which is quite refreshing from being in a closed-minded, idiot worshipping society like the Army for seven and a half years.  Also, I’m playing music again and started to look into forming a band and play the pub circuit here in Colorado and in the rest of the states.  Right now, I’m putting together a blog about my views and some of my experiences in the Army, titled Ass Kissers and Toxic Leaders, so be on the lookout for that.  That is all for now, and I am glad to be back in full force.
