Just finished the first week with our new students. One of the tasks they had to complete was a 5 hour land navigation course starting at 0500 in the morning. They had to find at least 5 out of eight signs on their lane given a grid coordinate a map and a compass. The map plotting and finding the first few points were accomplished in darkness. My "job" was CLS (combat Life Saver). We positioned out van on the edge of the land navigation course and waited. Fortunately we were next to Weems Pond and the weather was perfect. As the sun rose I got out my camera. Today I posted some of the photos I got. For those of you who faved them thank you ve

Hello and thank you to anyone reading this.
I am new to deviant art and have no deviants posted yet (I hope to fix that soon). I will be posting mostly photographs, but I do have some 3D renders under this same name, "sagginj", at artzone.daz3d.com if you can to take a look. I am here to learn so any criticism will be appreciated, trust me I have a thick skin.
The best way for me to learn is by failing ("I always knew you shouldn't do that and now I know why.") Or in the words of the immortal Will Rogers: "For every 10 men: 1 can learn by reading, 2 can learn by watching, everyone else has to piss on the electric fence for

Whether you see this or not, I so hope you have a happy birthday.
It should happen that you find this day the start of one of the most marvelous years in your memory, joyous and profitable. Growth of the best kind, in wisdom, skill, knowledge and joyous memory should and must take place. Your smiles should become more frequent and easier, your sighs cushioned with rueful humor, those who know you should note your growing happiness and rejoice thereby. Take the fond good wishes of those privileged to know you, even if just a little, and use them to build a fortress of smiles around your best ideals and happiest dreams. May you always remember the days to come with joy and celebration, and may this be a very happy example of a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
May you find this a year of solid accomplishment, of a strong and justified sense of vindication in all that you do. May you never grow so firm in your convictions that you become immune to reason, may you never grow so flexible that your backbone disappears. May you face courtesy with courtesy, honesty with honor, and never allow yourself to become soiled by the vileness of a cause or opposition. Remember what you believe and that for which you are fighting, welcome a repentant brother, be just as a implacable as the grimmest foe. Rejoice in victory, heal from defeat, rise from both to fight with all you have to offer again. A very happy birthday to you--and may you be ever a Happy Warrior.
May beauty and wisdom surround and enrich you every day of the year. May you laugh as often as you learn, may you know love and give love, may you see beauty and know it beautiful, may you dance instead of sigh, laugh instead of weep, and see the wonder of creation swirling always around you. Might joyous memories and happy encounters leave you with a smile the normal wear and tear of life can never banish for long. May you relish and surpass every new challenge, and seek adventure bravely. Have the happiest of birthdays, and thank you for the gifts you gave US!
It had better have been a good year!
It had better have been a good year!
May your Muse laughingly cajole, convince, inspire, and take you on a beautiful and worthwhile drive to places and happy adventures you've never even imagined. May a justified belief that something wonderful is just around the corner brighten your life forever. May you not doubt your abilities, but labor successfully to expand them. May your dreams not prove nightmares, may you glimpse other strange worlds and let us share them with you--may those you love rejoice in you, and you in them, may joy and inspiration be faithful, friendly companions and helpers always. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Yo!
Another 'ride 'round the sun! I hope it was considerably MORE pleasant than I wished you last year, and I hope that you find beauty, wisdom, valor and adventure in all the best ways to find them. Happy Birthday!
