While serving on the USS Independence, designed two war games for "Command" magazine ("Back to Iraq" and "The Fire Next Time"). While instructing reservists at RIPO 2, earned Associates and Bachelor of Arts degrees at night school from Columbia College. From January 2007 to May 2009, was principle author of the Iraqi Security Forces Order of Battle at "Fourth Rail" and "The Long War Journal". Had been tracking ISF development since 2004 when the press started seriously contradicting themselves in the reporting. I find that cigars (1) and beer (2) help me write. 1. Roly Churchill. 2. Newcastle (since the local bars don't have good beer.)
