Botak Man

Well as you can see I had my haircut. This according to my wife means I am botak man or bald man. I really do not understand her. When we were dating I was in the Army. When we married I was in the Army. Short hair is part of being in the Army. I have at least ten more years of this and to be honest I like it!

What can I say? Long hair is not comfortable for active people. I feel sorry for my counterparts in the Army. I mean the military does not allow them to pull a GI Jane. The mustfemale maintain a feminine appearance. My hat goes off to you because I know that when your on your third or fifth mile that it just gets in the way. It's just to hot.

But its not just that. I trace so many positive changes in myself to my entry into the military. What was the first thing they do? That's right they shave the head. They give you a new identity. Well lets just say that I am institutionalized. I like my new identity. When my hair gets long I loose something. I loose my identity as a soldier.

So I have to say, "I like who I see in the mirror." Have a good Army day.
