Hey everyone, I just finished a 10 year enlistment with the army and 2 tours of duty. One Iraq and one Afghanistan. I've had an interest in writing for a while now and I'm glad I found this site. I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I look forward to hearing from some of you.

Hi Mike. Welcome to HP, and thank you for all your years of service !
Best of luck here.
Hey man, thank you for the 10 years of service. I know this doesn't have much to do with HP, but I'm actually strongly considering joining the army/military and putting afghanistan as my number one spot on my wish list. Any advice/information you can give me?
Mike, thanks for your years of service. I wish my son had followed in your footsteps.
Welcome to HubPages, and don't be afraid to post here with any questions you might have.

I know how hard it is in the service, so hopefully you will have a good time here writing. It's really great that you can start writing and write your experiences in the service and all.

Hello Hubbers,I made 12 hubs between December 2009 and March 2010, which means I have 12 hubs that are basically just about one year old. I would rate them as somewhere between pathetic and woefully inadequate at best, but constructed in a format I felt at the time would be good for conversion...

Hello! I’ve been seeing a lot of complaints about newbies on the forums and honestly they have been pretty valid. I can’t really remember how I found hubpages, but I will admit that I was drawn in by the opportunity to start some gaining some passive income. But honestly, how can you blame a broke...
