Greetings to Anyone

Konichiwa (It's afternoon here in California) or should I say Kombanwa for those that is still awake out there on the otherside of the globe. This is my first time sending out this so called blog message, so you have to excuse me for just inputing what comes to my mind. I like Japan (from previous experience as a jarhead) and I always want to learn the language. I took a basic course, but that was a long time ago. Thanks for checking out my input at this time.
