How is it going everyone. Well, everyone reading this blog...which, right now, should be nobody, since I'm just starting it. Hopefully that will change eventually. Not with the quality of writing I'm doing right now it won't. Whew!
I'm Phil, by the way. Private First Class Phillip R. Walker, U.S. Army, at your service. Right now I'm sitting on the top bunk near a window in a room in the barracks of A Co. 1/222D AVN REGT, Ft. Eustis, VA. I'm here for my Advanced Individual Training or AIT. I'm basically learning how to do the job I signed up for when I enlisted.
Most people who read this blog probably know me, but maybe some of you have only met me a time or two, or maybe we were just acquaintances at Basic. However you know me or don't know me I invite you into my life, even if it be but a small glimpse into the vastly unfathomable depths of incredible intellect that lies behind this keyboard. Oh yes, marvel if you must, I completely understand.
Life in general is good. I don't like to be away from my sweet wife and my two amazing little boys, but I know what I'm doing is right and necessary. Besides that, I like the military lifestyle. I enjoy being the one on the inside of the uniform.
I remember before I enlisted that I always had tremendous respect and a small amount of envy for people who wore the uniform. I remember wishing I could be brave enough to wear that uniform. Now that I do a whole heap of new challenges have presented themselves. New challenges as well as new opportunities, but new opportunities also bring new questions and new variables into play.
I'm not really sure how everything is going to turn out in the end. Nobody ever does really, I suppose that's why life is life. You have to live it before you know how things will turn out. Being in the Army is good though. It gives me at least an idea of where I'll be for the next few years at least.
Hopefully all of you find yourselves with more answers than questions.
