There was a planned power cut today in my village of Iden, East Sussex. Operatives from UK Power Networks replaced an old utility pole. In the distance are the Little Cheyne Farm wind turbines and beyond that Dungeness nuclear power station. The wind farm was opened by Ed Milliband when he was energy secretary, just another reason to detest the man.

Me back in the day. This is not my complete uniform. My unit was part of the 2nd AD Blackheart Brigade 4-3 FA. We were assigned to Task Force 1-41. Our section rotated responsibilities during the 1st Gulf War. I was a Artilleryman. I was primarily on our reconnaissance/advance party team. We would sweep areas for enemy activity. Prepare positions for eventual howitzer emplacement. We would also set up communications. A couple of weeks before the main offensive(Desert Storm) we conducted counter reconnaissance and reconnaissance missions. So much for the myth of the 100 hour ground war. We also assisted in clearing initial Iraqi defensive positions. We also disabled Iraq's communications network. We were some of the very first American soldiers to enter Iraq. While on a recon mission we ran into a Republican Guard armored recon platoon and took some small arms fire. They actually shot up the base of the bed of our deuce 1/2. If they would have aimed higher myself and the rest of our AP team would probably have been casualties. We engaged the Republican Guard unit with AT-4 rocket launchers and small arms fire. This confrontation lasted over a hour. A mechanized infantry unit would eventually rescue us. We managed to escape those incidents without any casualties. We went three days with no sleep and several more on maybe two hours of sleep a day. I once got lost in the middle of the night during a operation. My unit found me several miles away from them. They were notified by headquarters due to a single individual who found me wondering around. I never identified him. I would almost get trapped in a minefield. I fortunately worked my way out of it without getting wounded because of this unknown savior. My unit was also ambushed by a Republican Guard armored company when we were refueling. Our Task Force lost several men and quite a few of us were wounded. Mostly guys from 1-41 Infantry. 4-3 FA was fortunate and suffered no casualties despite a couple close calls. TF 1-41 would lose several vehicles during combat operations. I also drove both the M109A2 self propelled howitzer and the M-992 ammo carrier, at times, so our drivers would not become exhausted and we regularly rotated. I received a AAM award for this. We traveled over 200 miles during combat operations. There were times I served as our ammo team leader because our regular team leader was not able to deploy. Initially I lacked confidence because I had only been in the Army several months and the Team Leader position was usually a NCO. The NCO I was rotating this responsibility with tore his thigh muscle which made things very difficult for him and left me with more responsibilities. I also spent time as a machine gunner handling both the 50 Cal and M-60. We participated in many fire missions and artillery raids. We served at the battles at 73 Easting and Norfolk where we would destroy two Tawakalna Republican Guard Mechanized Brigades and the entire Iraqi 26th Infantry Division. We captured a commander and several senior officers. We would engage elements from 11 different Iraqi divisions by the end of combat operations. Many of the units within Task Force 1-41 would earn a Valorous Unit Award. Nine members of TF 1-41 would not come home and over two dozen TF 1-41 soldiers would be wounded in battle.
After combat operations were complete I was hospitalized with dysentery. I also have a small scar around my right eye where we were trying to evacuate a position. I have a scar on my left arm from a hot machine gun barrel and another on my leg from getting caught in barbed wire. I never talked about my combat experience until I was in my early 40s. Even now I am particular about who I share the details with. Generally only other veterans who have participated in combat operations themselves.
I never watched a war movie for many years in a effort to bury my past. Most people do not understand how horrible war really is. Hollywood and video games have given most people a glorified opinion of war. A opinion that is flawed. Most are simply not mature enough to even partake in such discussion. Anyone that experiences combat first hand does not feel heroic. People that present themselves as such have never truly served "in the shit." Part of me wanted to bury that part of my life. I then realized the Storm would always be a part of me. I do not harbor any hatred or bitterness towards the Iraqi people. They were there to do a job just like me. They were just simply our opposition. I served around some good guys. I quite often think about them and keep in touch with several of them. I spent my final two years in the Army in a split battalion assigned to both the 101st and 82nd Airborne divisions as part of the XVIII Airborne Corps. I decided I did not want to be a career soldier. I did not feel the U.S. Army had much to offer a man as independent as myself. I am also very critical of many aspects of the U.S. Army. I left the U.S. Army in 1994 with a honorable discharge. I miss my friends from my time in service but not the culture itself.
My professional life in the civilian sector has been a bag of mixed results. For a dozen years I was a businessman. Several of those years were quite successful especially considering the nature of the economy in the field which I conducted business in. For over a year I even mopped floors at a motel in a effort to prove to potential employers that I was still willing and capable of doing manual labor. I then was a warehouse manager for a homeless shelter where I would also preach God's word once a week. Currently I am a security officer.

Forgive me, it's actually my local news channel... but it's easy to see how I made the mistake! With this latest (and hopefully last) blast of winter weather being so serious, the meteorologists at WMC Action News 5 have been explaining the layers of ice, sleet, and snow we've gotten in light-hearted and creative - and food-themed! - fashions. Pictured on the right is Andrew Kozak, who referred to the "winter weather lasagna" plaguing the Mid-South all morning; and on the left is Ron Childers, with a demonstration the station dubbed "severe cereal alert," that you can watch here: www.wmcactionnews5.com/Clip/11199715/watch-ron-childers-d...
As for myself, I didn't have school today or power for about four hours. I'm just glad it came back on as early as it did, because we're expected to break a 95-year-old record low in the area tonight. My spring break is safe - the three previous make-up days were added onto Saturdays and the end of the year - but today and tomorrow have nowhere to go except more Saturdays, according to the school board, because of graduation dates for seniors. None of us wants more than two weeks of six days of school, so now we're all hoping the state department of education will honor the law that states school days missed while under a state of emergency can be waived. Fingers crossed!
In the meantime, I'm looking forward to continuing retail-based pictures over weather-based ones this Saturday with more OfficeMax uploads and vacation photos in celebration of spring break next weekend. Have a good one and stay safe!
