For what it's worth: I'm not a veteran, nor a regular contributor to GiP - I just like the Idiots thread - and I don't know you from a bar of soap.

What you've posted is exceptionally good. Like "shake my head in wonder, I can't believe I'm lucky enough to read this" good.

It's intensely personal, sharing something some of us have never experienced, in a way that (I feel like) I understand completely what it was like. It's extremely evocative. And your turn of phrase and use of things like metaphor is beautiful.

Frankly, it feels like a privilege to read.

E: and I'm not sure I should have posted that, for the selfish reason that I don't want to scare you off posting more because I want to read it.

I mean, I'm hanging on every word, but as a civilian I don't know how appropriate it is for me to even be here, much less comment, so I try to keep my mouth shut.

Your writing continues to be exceptional.

If this thread wasn't headed for the gold mine it should be now.

Doesn't goldmining lock the thread?

I mean, other than that, 100% agreed.

When it's run its course, however many pages in the future that is. Really I was just using it as a pretext for a bad "mine" joke.

Oh. That went completely over my head :shobon:.
