Sofa Fidelis


My old friend and Marine Corps photographer came to visit me yesterday. My former brother in arms Miller is now an active duty sergeant. He has been taking videography courses at Defense Information School not too far from here. We sailed to Afghanistan together in the Marine Corps with Eason, another friend of ours I decided to call -- only to find that he had joined an infantry reconnaissance unit of the Florida National Guard just yesterday! I couldn't believe he had actually joined the Army. Having been a Marine it seems like sacrilege. Eason said one of the main reasons he joined the Army was because in many ways it would be easier to be Army reconnaissance than it was being a Marine photographer. We all laughed.
