A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE
THE WEB'S LEADING MILITARY BLOG SINCE 2004
Hello, everyone. I’m still alive. Thanks to everyone who sent emails wondering where I was. I’m going to make this short and sweet because I don’t want to dwell on it or make it a big issue.
I’m taking an extended hiatus from ASP. I don’t know how long “extended” is, but I leave the site in good hands. The other writers seem to be doing a great job and I’m confident that the good news will continue to flow from the site. While I still maintain ownership of the site, I’m handing the reigns over to CPL M to run and manage it as he sees fit. This is a self-imposed hiatus until I can get back on track with some personal issues. I have not been ordered nor “strongly encouraged” to give up blogging by anyone in the military (except myself).
In the meantime, I’m going to dedicate more time to They Have Names. I’m also going to spend a bit more time with my family. These past two weeks have been stressful, but the time I’ve had with my family has been wonderful. I’m always available by email if you have questions and will keep up with what is being written by others.
It’s been fun and look forward to when I’m able to write again.

Hate to see you take a hiatus, but like Sue said, you do what you gotta do. I’m sure it will benefit They Have Names, so that is all to the good.

CJ,
Can’t imagine there’s much in this world that you could do that I wouldn’t respect; and this is no exception.
Try the iced mocha latte – it’s on me!

CJ – sometimes a “coffee break” is the best thing! (I know this from personal experience, so I’m not just talking thru my hat here…) Enjoy your more time with your family – time moves so fast and they will be your best moments.

See ya down the road.

CJ,
We will really miss you and your great posts! Thank you for all that you do! We all understand that you have other obligations and we will look forward to when you can come back to post again! Take care and enjoy your coffee break!!
Oh Patriot, please don’t quit in protest! We love your posts too!!
Take care CJ, catch you later!!
Patriot
Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere. I just thought I could persuade CJ that I was important enough to listen to and change his mind. Besides, he’s old and probably needs to monitor his blood pressure and other old people stuff…lol.
Donna
Patriot,
You’re a riot…..older people stuff Ha! Ha!
Miriam
Life gets crazy even when you DON’T have a family to look after. Taking time for R&R is a good thing. Take care.

It shows strength of character to know when a break is needed! Will miss your posts, but pray you bask in the time with family and complete the process needed to “recharge”.
God Bless and keep you and yours!

We’ll miss you, but take care of yourself and your family first!

I too will miss you C.J.. Doing “They Have Names” has to be a very daunting task also. You never do anything half way. We’ll all see you when you come back. You will be greatly missed!
