So you were sworn in, then let go? Is there more? I enjoyed this amusing look at boot camp in Cyprus. As a kid, I spent lots of time at the Marine Corp Recruit Depot in San Diego, mostly in the PX with my mum, but I'm pretty sure things were handled quite differently there.
There is indeed more. There's another series to come about my time stationed on the Green Line as a sentry but I've surely maxed out my readers' goodwill on Cyprus army material for now. Maybe I'll post those next summer.
I have no doubt that the US Marine Corp did things very differently... Thanks for sticking around on this series to the end!
Ha, thanks, Mike. I wrote this series long ago. So, aside from some editing, it was a chance to take a breather from Substack for other writing. But now my raft is gone and I have to swim again
Your Donald and Kamala article is the funniest read of the year! I was lucky enough to check my email for the first time this week, and see yours on the top of the pile.
Thanks, Mike. After all those months of posts related to Cyprus, I needed to do something before the election. I didn't expect to hear from you today after your Flies Before Fireflies post!
I trade foreign movie recommendations with someone once per week, hence my checking email. I'll probably write something big for Dec 1, but that leaves me a lot of time to work through my bookmarks. Getting through 10-20 per day. It's that relief after constipation.

I enjoy your writing style and read all 12 in this wonderful series. Love. Love. Love.
Thanks, I appreciate that Thales. Maybe next summer I will do the Green Line sentry duty series. You probably have your own tales from that too...
Perfect training to become a substacker.
Thanks or this fun series!
