I'm unpacking and organizing my shed today, I found a small bracelet at the bottom of a box Bailey gave me when she was about 10. It was hanging on a hook with my dog tags in the old house. Something I've not looked at since I hung it. Being Vets Day, finding the bracelet and the the dog tags...

The phrase that got me through 15 years of sucking shit in the Infantry was "It could always be worse"... Not sure how right now but I'm sure Murphy could find a way.

Just to let y'all know, I flew home to Louisiana, closed on the house, moved everything and flew back to Cali. We had the funeral, she was cremated and we brought her home to Louisiana. I let my heart speak at her service and came close to letting it control me but held shy of that line. But...

I had a cooler full of Busch Lattes but they didn't want no payment, no lunch, no beer. Said "we take care of our own, no matter what" I love these dudes

The fucking cajun army showed up today with 2 trailers and we moved all the furniture, appliances, and heavy shit. I don't know if its the cajun love or the veteran connection(both guys that showed are vets, one flaked but he ain't no vet), but these boys showed me love. Moved all my shit and...

I've been a rock all week long for my family. But today I flew home to move and it's hitting hard. That little fucker had me whipped since the day she met me at the age of 4. She painted my toenails purple... She came to me when her "boyfriend" broke her heart. Not her biological father, me. I...

I know I don't post here but a lot of y'all have been there for me in dark times and I need y'alls prayers again. My oldest lost her life on the 4th a week from her 18th birthday. She struggled with emotional damage from her biological father for years and coped with it through defiance and...

I was throughly excited until I picked her up from her first practice. I had to make a call to the local news station to get some shit unfucked. It's Jr High, I get it. But some things need to happen no matter what level. I found out there are no athletic locker rooms(no knowledge about...

😂😂😂 Fuck no, I was Infantry in a company attached to another Battalion, attached to another Brigade, ultimately in a Marine area that still took orders from an Army General. We we're the redheaded step-child from hell. That's also why we got the most fuck up piece of real estate. Ain't a one of...

The gunner hole and the right side backseat were the scariest places to be in a truck

I got a Marine combat patch for that deployment too. A guy I served with a few years later was in that Marine unit, IN Ramadi for that deployment before he switched branches. He's not authorized to wear it so I used to wear it just to fuck with him.

Iraq 2003, The Invasion... I legit fought a uniformed Army, what I trained for. It didn't last long but I killed a T55 with a Javelin and assaulted a Republican Guard held compound after getting shelled for 3 days in a foxhole.
