“So you decided to declare war on the masses caffeine source and now you’re being run out of town by angry mobs”

I have literally lectured my leaders on this when they name objectives and operations in training. Usually a light bulb goes off and they get it

I drove by a new building on a base the other day and immediately started sounding out the abbreviation for it.

In a training class and the instructor has so far used a Jocko video and then referenced Pearl Harbor and got both details and the take away wrong

You don’t need that kind of negativity

Why yes I did just realize the Pretty Reckless and AC/DC are coming to STL in September and started looking for tickets while at the bar

Jk Simmons really is one of my favorite actors. This thought brought to you by binge watching the Closer.

Turabian or nothing!

I prefer to be incredibly nonchalant about it. It seems to make people more concerned that when they bring it up I just shrug my shoulders and say “only the good die young” or something along those lines.

Thomas wonders at the audacity of this woman.

Well guess those fellowships I ranked in my top ten for SSC aren’t an option anymore…

Terry I fully support this decision

The best part is this all started with me asking a question on what the uniform for training was. I wear different clothes for classroom setting vs scenarios with fighting mixed in obviously. Still didn’t my question answered.

I enjoy when someone at work lectures me on developing training plans and scenarios and how I don’t understand we have “ramp it up” for unspecified reasons with no discernible endstate or training goals. I clearly have no experience in training management after all.

Hmm guess I better go buy all the DC animated stuff I like on DVD or Blue ray if I can find it. That’s annoying.

Is it irrational that I’m both sad and annoyed the new SOI changed the call sign of the Troop I commanded? Yes probably but damnit I had some good memories as Mustang 6.

I’ll never forget walking off a plane in Shannon and seeing an Irish woman working as a gate attendant just berate the shit out of some idiot male coworker. Everyone in my platoon stopped and watched and immediately fell in love.

You give me the opportunity to smoke the guy on my shift I don’t like with a snowball and get to build community relationships? Sign me up.

I mean how else does one ask to have sunscreen applied?

“There’s nary an animal alive can outrun a greased up Scotsman!”

Nice. I’ve been binge watching The Closer reruns.

Nice. I need to see her live again.

I am of two minds. I split the coin cost with my CSM, because he also gives them out and they have his rank on them after all. Conversely, I didn’t let him chip in for the golden spurs I bought for our deployed soldiers.

Warhammer 40k and the Horus Heresy would like a word

Hmm I wonder if FBI agents have a policy about drinking on the job or not acting in a way that brings discredit to the agency…
