I wanted to share a wealth of humorous experiences I encountered during my 20 years of military service so I decided to start a blog. This is my first post and my first attempt at blogging. So, this may be just another exercise in futility. What is an exercise in futility? Anybody who has been around a day or two will know exactly what that is. Suppose you are a private in the Army and your platoon sergeant told you that you needed to paint the barracks for inspection. It happens. but then suppose that inspection never comes. You guessed it, an exercise in futility. Now suppose you were also told that you had to paint some rocks and rake the sand for area beautification for that same inspection. Fun stuff. Now suppose, you have to haul truckloads of excess “stuff” around until you are given the all-clear that the inspection is over. Except, wait, nobody knows where you are at. Oh, no. You drive that truck until the cows come home. What’s up with that? Finally, you take a chance and come back, only to find out there never was an inspection. Aren’t you just loving life? It gets better. Now, you have to unload the truck. Fun. Nobody has ever done dumb shit like this before, right? That is an exercise in futility. I hope to bring you humor and the lighter side of life’s exercises in futility. Thanks for reading.
