5 Seconds of Fame

Okay, this is kind of funny. My team leader just got back from leave today. The first thing he showed me when I walked in from mission was the latest issue of Guard Experience Magazine (Aug/Sep 2005, he picked up his copy while at home), of which I already had a copy sitting in my entertainment/snack bag only partially read. You can imagine my surprise, when literally 3 pages past the point where I had left of reading the other day, there was a photo from the Toby Kieth concert a couple months ago in which you can actually see us! That's right.. I am in Guard Experience Magazine. And it's a BIG photo too; takes up two pages. Only downfall is that some dude from Alaska is holding up a sign blocking out most of the people on the HUMVEE (you can see most of me, just to the right of the sign). GX Magazine is free to members of the Guard, but they also publish their issues online in .pdf format, so, if you have Adobe Acrobat Reader, I recommend hopping over to their website, to which I've also made a permanent link on the right. Once there, just click on the "Past Issues" item in their side-bar menu, and the issue you'll want is Volume 2, Issue 4. You can download the entire thing, or simply download the "Recon" section, which is the photo section of the magazine. Kind of funny that my parents had a pic of me from the concert and didn't even know it!

In other news, you may also note that I've added a link to my fraternity's web-page, a disclaimer at the bottom of the blog (my own doing, not mandated by the Army, but it seemed a good idea), and my batallion motto in Latin on the right.

Heh. I'm in a magazine... :-) TeddY2K out!
