I picked up a new mentee recently and they sent an email starting with apologizing for taking so long to get back with me (A week). I told them not to worry about responding quickly - that I am not a regular LTC, I am a cool LTC.
They aren't coming back are they?
Change was necessary. But I refuse to celebrate this firing. By all accounts Ballard is a good person who tried to do well for the organization. I wish him and his Family well wherever they end up.
Welp... #Pacers season tips in Ten Days....
With the Colts luck, this new backup Commanders QB, Melokaleekimocka is going to be the next Tom Brady...
Super bummer.
Fam and I are all huge Colts, Disney, Marvel fans and have been long forward to reveal for weeks. Tons of possibilities.
A silly looking character discontinued in the 40s is really disappointing. We had planned on buying soo much of this crossover merch...Nevermind
I legit ruined a battle buddies life. A strict rule follower who didn't know until I told him....
Underwear is required in uniform.
Eveytime we were leaving the FOB in AFG in 2012, the Stryker driver would plug in Sail by AWOLNATION.
Can't hear that song without immediately locking in.
Raising strong, smart, and good kids that you enjoying spending time with is all great.
... Until it's time to move them into college.
I've said / tweeted this a few times. ESPN is there to make money. I get it. But w/ exception of Pat McAfee I'm done with them. They cover Cowboys Jets and Lakers. Doesn't matter the season or quality. That's it. And anyone from a small market team will never be a contender.
How to fix ESPN
1. Fire Stephen A. Smith
2. Hire more black people who KNOW sports.
3. Make all coverage of sports equal (you donβt need 3 segments a piece across 4 different shows about the cowboys, LeBron or Stephen A. yelling)
4. Sell the WWE streaming rights back to Comcast
5. Stop showing the same teams in every sport all the time. (We donβt need 47 games of the fucking Lakers out of an 82 game season.)
6. Donβt touch College Football coverage. Leave it alone.
7. Hire Stephen A. Smith just to fire him again.
8. Fire Paul Finnebaum (or however you spell his name)
9. Fix the streaming quality of the ESPN app and stop charging people 30 bucks for some mid ass quality shows. Plus make ESPN Plus worth it
10. The most important one: Cover any team but the Dallas Cowboys. They arenβt winning a Super Bowl, let it go.
Got a buddy prepping retirement and going through his OCIE for turn in and reminded me of the top ten dumbest things I've experienced in the Army.
When I left JBLM for KC MEPS they made me clear JBLM like I was ETSing because I wasn't assigned to an installation. 1/3 β at Muldraugh, KY
I was like, "bruh, my house I'm signing for is literally on Fort Leavenworth."
They said it doesn't matter so I had to turn in alllllll of my OD green stuff.
I couldn't find an insulated canteen cover. Those fuzzy ones that most people never used. 2/3 β at Muldraugh, KY
I always type them in rank or position priority. Also, to be extra nerdy, I do it in unit priority order. I.e. if emailing several BDE CDRs, I put them in order of presedence based off unit type.
Let me go an piss lots of people off.
If the Army cared about long term health for VA cost purposes, the Army wouldn't sell tobacco and alcohol tax free on every base. Wouldn't have fast food contracts.
It's not about health. That's like saying beards interfere with promask.
Replying to @dmbkparker
Itβs a health care money issue down the line, and a real one. Get em out before they start costing the government for the rest of their lives. None of our fitness tests show true fitness at the
Minimums, they are just high enough to make sure we can retain enough people, so passing a fitness test that is weak shouldnβt correlate to not needing HT/WT as well.
