Blog basic training

Greetings, fellow veterans!
Welcome to “At Ease!’’ the new blog for former service members.
I grew up as a military brat, did a four-year hitch in the Army and have been a reporter for more than 20 years, but when it comes to blogging I’m a raw “newbie” recruit. I know there are all kinds of bells and whistles – photos, video, audio – that you can include in these things, but I have no clue how to do any of that yet.
My colleague and co-contributor, Nicole Neroulias, is an experienced blogger, so I’m just going to look at her as my drill sergeant for the next few weeks while I learn all this stuff.
I hope this becomes a place where all of us who spent time marching, saluting, peeling spuds and taking orders can swap a few stories, talk about how the military affected us, discuss veterans issues and share info on benefits, local veterans events and whatever else might be on your minds.
This is all new right now, but send us your questions, suggestions, objections and reflections and let’s see what it turns into. Thanks.
