Master-At-Arms

That article I referenced earlier says that Valerie Plame is from Anchorage, Alaska. That must have some bearing on the U.S. military DD-214 that is part of my official federal undercover identity. I was puzzling a while back over some artificial and symbolic memories from long ago of someone confusing the AR postal abbreviation for Arkansas with the AK postal code for Alaska. I was puzzling over why that mistake would be made on my DD-214. Someone incorrectly typed in AK, instead of AR, for Arkansas and then used a pen to turn it into AR. It is barely noticable, now that I think about it, but in my mind, it is huge. Why would such an error exist on a document that was created to support my official federal undercover identity?

I have also puzzled many times over the years about the years about the address in the field 19.a. "Mailing Address After Separation." It contains Thedia Newman's address at Highway 59 and Constitution Avenue in Ashdown, Arkanasas. I puzzled over why the town name was written as Ashdown, Little Rock, AR 71822. I puzzled over that for a long time and I do especially now because Ashdown is no where near Little Rock. If Ashdown was a suburb of Little Rock, I could understand the detail. As I was writing that last sentence, a scene from my artificial and symbolic memory flashed into mind of one time I was talking to Tammie Hood and she was talking about how she expected Ashdown to be a suburb of Texarkana in the near future. That was probably back in the late 80's or early 90's. I don't know why I would "remember" such an artificial memory.

There is a reason I have artificial and symbolic memories about being on Shore Patrol on the USS Wainwright. Someone knows something about that from 1999, too. Clues that are sure to point to my assignments as a guard.

And so much of this because I was selfish to love Phoebe. As soon as I started to understand I was in love with her, I should have just let her go so she wouldn't have to live like this. No one else on this planet can actually love her as I do, but still, it was incredibly selfish of me to marry her and bring her into this kind of life. I was incredibly selfish. It's not bad enough the 9.2 years for this recent deployment. There is also the constant danger. Make no mistake about it - I have some of the worst possible enemies a person in the U.S. military can have. And for what? I have the support of the U.S. Navy, but still. My job isn't to be protected by the military. I have a dangerous job but for what? What do I have to show for it? Nothing. I live in a cage. I worry about the safety of the woman I love and I don't even get to see her. All for what? What is the goddamned point to it all? What is the POINT?? All I have done is to make the people I care about a target. This country couldn't give a goddamned about my life. They don't give a crap about freedom because they don't deserve it. They won't let me live free, so why the fuck do they deserve to be free. I haven't seen my wife in over 9 damned years and I STILL HAVE NO GODDAMNED IDEA WHEN I WILL SEE HER AGAIN!!!! ALL I HAVE ARE THESE GODDAMNED PAPARAZZI MOTHERFUCKERS 24 HOURS A GODDAMNED DAY!!!! And still...I know nothing. I just have feelings that I hope are true about her. But what the hell do I know for certain? Nothing. I feel sane and that these are real memories returning, but no one is telling me a goddamned thing.
