I know – First things should be first, but I didn’t think to do this first and I already have five posts out!
While I was home on leave, I worked a little on the features and appearance of The Desert Squid. Besides the interesting links, you will see that you can now sign up to get an automatic notice of new posts. This does a couple of things: one, it will save me the time (since I won’t have much time) of having to send separate notification emails and two, it will enable you to not miss getting the ever-exciting, thrilled-packed adventures of The Desert Squid!
Ok – now that you've read my shameless commercial, a little about this blog. One of my goals is to increase and hone my writing skills. Another goal is to keep as many of my friends and family informed as possible with one format. Since I have never done this before, it is evolving as I learn. The content will vary as my thoughts and observations vary.
Two things you will notice: a) Because of the nature of my work, I will not be getting into that area. b) You have probably noticed, however, that there is a spiritual element to my posts. I don’t wish to offend anyone, but this is not unintended because I strongly believe that all of life is Spiritually driven and whether discernable or not, this affects everything we do. Plus, this is my blog and reading it is optional!
With this in mind, beginning with post seven, I will throw in some “lessons learned” over the course of my deployment.
As I write, I also may wax philosophical with musings that are political, social, or historical in nature. From time to time, I may include interviews, capture the thoughts of those around me, or post some relevant news stories.
So, I trust that you will wait with eager anticipation and enjoy each new post!
Until next time mates – Fair winds and following seas! Don’t forget to pass the word about www.thedesertsquid.blogspot.com and feel free to respond and/or make comments by clicking on the comments link below.
Yours truly,
The Desert Squid (Cork)

Cork, great to hear from you (even if it is via a blog). I thought, with you Navy guys, the sand you encountered was supposed to be on beaches. What's up with that?
Seriously. We are of one mind and heart on this fight against extreme Islamic fascism. We appreciate the sacrifices you are making for your country.
I will be praying for you and your family regularly. God bless and enlighten you, my friend.
Bro Cork,
Somehow I pictured the armor of God looking different :) Eph 6. I don't really see a whole lot of water either. Strange surrounding for a Navy man. I signed up for the automatic notifiation for this blog so I will not miss your posts. The Lord has ways of working things out for our benefit.
May God be with you and your family while you are apart.
Our prayers are with you. I'll keep Bro Don updated. He is still scheduled to have hip surgery on the 25th and he is chomping at the bit to have it done.
Bro Bernard
