How's the Buzz Cut?

My good friend Anthony Perez-Miller at Andunie is back, briefly, and describes his first few months of Advanced Individual Training in the Army.

A little background: Anthony, currently striving for his PhD in Philosophy of Science, joined the Army Reserves at the youthful age of almost two-score (39). Quite the contrast with those back in WWII, who lied about their age in order to sign up for the infantry at age 16. I loved getting phone calls from Anthony during his time at AIT telling me how he was beating the pants off of all those young punks in their PT exercises.

Anyway, I think this is fantastic story about a man who has made the decision to serve his country, and do it with the character and dignity that our country is the damn lucky beneficiary of. Go say hi and say "thank you" if you get the chance.
