Meet Sergeant First Class Thomas Nichols. He is currently serving in, and blogging from in Iraq, as “Jack Army”. If you want to know what daily life is like for our soldiers in Iraq, his blog is a great place to start. I’ve been reading it for a while, have added it to the blogroll.
Jack has a wife and kids at home, in Hawaii. His wife is also blogging, as Jill Army. Jack and Jill Army, serving their country, and blogging about it.
I am always fascinated by the roll blogs are playing in the lives of our service men and women and their families. There are some truly great blogs out there to see what these families go through when a loved one is deployed. In addition to Jill Army, check out Spouse Buzz, Andi’s World, and Army Wife Toddler Mom.
For the definitive look at the role of blogs in the lives of our military families, buy the unforgettable, amazing book, Blog of War by our good friend Matt Burden, aka Blackfive.
