September!

*I'll be in DC next week for the launch of Operation Free. Operation Free is "a coalition of leading Veterans and national security organizations who recognize that climate change is a major threat, and support fast, bold action. It is time for Americans to rise to the challenge, and we're taking on the fight."


Check out Operation Free here.


*Ryan Smithson, an Empire State College student and Iraq war veteran, will be reading and signing his book "Ghosts of War." The event is on Sept. 10th at 7pm at the Book House at Stuyvesant Plaza on Western Avenue in Albany. It's free. Go! Show some support. I'm going to try and make it but I have class that night.

Read a little about Smithson here.


*The Women’s Research & Education Institute will be holding their Eighth Conference on Women in the Military on September 24th and 25th. Women in the Military: Moving Forward Using the Lessons of the Past Decade, will be held at the Women in Military Service for America Memorial in Arlington, VA.

*WHAT ELSE?!

Artists?

I have an idea but can't draw worth shit. Help me out?

This blog needs some Botox...

I ETS December 26th and then my military career will be over. It's been eight years of up and downs but it's all been worth it. So before then I'll be posting some of my highlights of my enlistment but then this blog is going under construction...I'm going under construction. My fall semester is going to be busy and I welcome it with open arms. I'll be taking a Photojournalism class (working on getting a new digital camera now), so I'll be posting more photos on here. During my spring semester I hope to have an internship somewhere...any suggestions? My summer has been lazy and I'm ready to just knock out school. Before I know it I'll be graduating from the University at Albany and then...well, I'm not sure.

I apologize for not updating. If you're on Twitter, lets tweet together! Hope you're all well! Enjoy the rest of your summer! Posts coming soon.
