I came back into the US Army as an officer, after a nine year enlisted stint. Between the two, I went to a large University, completed my degree in Chemistry, met my future wife in a SCUBA class that I was teaching, got my commission as an Infantry Lieutenant, got married to what I thought was a nice French girl (who turned out to figuratively breathe fire),...
Please do not make the mistake of assuming the "when" in this story. It could be 1970, 2006, 2030 or whenever. I've intentionally blurred the time frame so that I don't get a bunch of inane political comments concerning current events from the lunatic fringe of any orientation. This is a story with military overtones; there are no dogs and no corporate Ame...
Pounding on my door while I watch some breaking news on TV. Hot summers day, way too hot to be comfortable, has made me stay indoors instead of working in the field like I should. Growing crops is what I do during this time of year. No work at all, earning nothing is making me really depressed lately. Income is something I should have had by this time but oc...
When that bastard of a guard rattled his stun stick against the bars of his cell Percival snarled. When he went to stand he almost fell over. He was tired, worn, and wearing down. There was a diabolical process in place to run all the remaining pirates into the ground. They were awakened at odd hours, given extensive interviews and interrogation, and hard ph...

During the '60's those of us in the Air Force had to suffer through some crazy times. We were unlike the other services most of the time in that "very important pricks" were always visiting our bases because Air Force One is really, technically, an AirForce airplane and is flown by active duty Air Force pilots, who are assigned to it on a special duty assign...
My husband and I were stationed in Germany. He was in the Army and we lived in military housing on the fourth and top floor. There were two apartments on each floor. A new couple had just moved in and after hubby left for work I went down one flight to welcome my new neighbor. Military communities, especially overseas, are very close. Everyone helps one anot...
We met in front of a downtown club. It was a place I hadn't heard of before - Club Serpentine Rouge or as Mackenzie called it, The Red Serpent. It was a mixed gay and straight dance spot, but it had a lesbian section called, Club Sappho, which was our destination, that had an intimate dance floor that played an eclectic mix of Eurobeat electo music. I'd dres...
Hello, everyone. I hope you read the previous chapter and enjoyed it. This story is a continuation of the Shadows of Resentment series. In this chapter, we find out what happened with the girls. Again, let me reiterate, I am no expert on anything military, so I used my imagination freely here. It is not my intention to offend any of the great people who hav...
Grand Marshall After the meeting with Ike and the Commander of the Fijishi he was in his office. The orders to investigate everyone who knew had been passed. Now came the important question, what should he do with the stealth station identified. It wasn't part of the North American polity since Ike didn't know anything about it. He doubted it was part of an...
