When they prayed to be delivered from evil, the brave men and women of our armed forces & our allies stepped forward and stood in harms way. These are my brothers and sisters.

Contrary to what you may be hearing this 🇺🇸WOMAN & 1000's of 🇺🇸WOMEN like her are NOT "making a mockery of our military". You WISH your daughter was as AWESOME as MINE! so BACK OFF.

Currently the only U.S. Naval vessel to fly a foreign ensign. Being named after a Briton, the Royal Navy's White Ensign is honorarily flown on special occasions👇
I am sad to report that USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55) was decommissioned this morning in Norfolk, Virginia - September 20, 2024.
Her motto: Arrayed For Victory
Here she is during a July 2023 visit to

visualization of an Armored Brigade Combat Team last week on Twitter…saw it in person today. It’s fascinating & incredibly detailed✅
Zoom in for a closer look🔎
I had EVERY intention of thrashing these young ladies for running an illegal lemonade/brownie stand at Ft Eustis. And yes the brownie was delicious. DELICIOUS I SAY!😀

I went to the archives to check on the requirement for the ACU to have a snack pocket capable of carrying MRE toaster pastries. Then I did a walk around spot check. Enjoy.

Social Distancing doesn't mean abandon your buddies. Stay DIGITALLY CONNECTED- check on each other- EVERY DAY. It is a MILITARY TACTIC that can work for EVERYONE. Its our ETHOS: Never leave a fallen comrade. It is hard to know who has fallen if you don't check. PASS IT ON!
TOUGH DAY. drove hooptie into high water and now she is down for the count. A tanker w/o wheels is...infantry? 😮This young sailor, Hannah & 2 others helped push her to dry land. THANKS
@USNavy
! Recovery Ops begin Saturday. The upside? No casualties ‘cept my tanker pride!
General Odierno…General “O” to those of us who served with him, has passed away. He led our Army with honor & courage. True to the motto of the 4th Infantry Division, he was “Steadfast and Loyal”. It was an honor to serve with him.
@USArmy
Free advice for LEADERS:
1.Master your weapon system
2.Treat everyone with dignity & respect
3.Train like your life depends on it
& remember “the discipline which makes the soldiers of a free country reliable in battle is not to be gained by harsh or tyrannical treatment”
Can’t describe the lump in my throat as I look at this picture of 🇺🇸AMERICAN SOLDIERS headed into chaos & uncertainty. So proud of them all.

Yesterday's discussion on the LT's views on haircuts, discipline, and combat survival sparked a dumpster fire & the LT got pretty well scuffed up. By me too, BTW. So I post this slide because it demonstrates that everyone grows over time. I don't mean just old & gray either😀

I can’t hear all the arguing, yelling & hatred today. I’m trying to remember what these little girls told me when we took this picture at Painted Rocks at the NTC. I remember I had a hard time keeping it together. Maybe we can just let good star families have some peace today.🇺🇸
It’s always fun to go to a Navy base and park the hooptie in a Flag spot. One time a retired admiral asked my wife if she knew what the sign meant. 😀

Had the great fortune to bump in to this 92 year old veteran (Korea & Vietnam). Unfortunately I wasn’t carrying a coin☹️this gentleman served in the 865th AAA BN. He crewed a “quad 50”💥in Korea. Lesson learned: always carry a coin✅

Took the ACFT today. Not sure I can make much improvement in MDL or ball throw; but HRP, SDC, and leg tucks...yep (got 9; record 4 me) I can do more. Swim was 1KM in 16:16🏊♂️Age 59, wt=165. IF I CAN DO IT, U CAN DO IT.
Fun fact: I don’t drink coffee or play golf. Was told “u ain’t gonna make it in the Army”. Was also called “an embarrassment to the Division” & “worse than useless”. Oh yea: & “cavalier” which I took as a compliment 😀don’t worry about what they call u.

I can’t believe I didn’t drink coffee until my thirties. How did I survive college? The first few years of teaching? Life?
When did you start drinking coffee?
I build models as a distraction. Just finished this one. Had to paint the glass black because, well because I’m not that good a model builder!😀 I added some stuff so it’s not accurate. What are u working on as a distraction from the events of the day?
BATTLE BUDDY, think it applies to GENs? Yep. Yesterday my phone was muted by accident GEN Funk couldn't reach me after 3 try's...heard from MG Hibbard, my neighbor, that I was down in Norfolk area... KNOCK, KNOCK… MG H hands me the phone...You OK, DCG? THIS IS MY SQUAD!

HAIRCUTS. Heard this: "Have a soldier cut your hair, clean clippers in between, and both wear a mask". OK. Replace "have a soldier" with "have my SON/DAUGHTER/SPOUSE". NOW HAVE THEM DO IT FOR THE WHOLE BN. Get it? When post barbershop opens, we get haircuts. GET IT?

Every so often an “expert”will spout off that the TANK is obsolete. My recommendation: ignore them and remember that it takes a COMBINED ARMS TEAM to win. Trust me, you want TANKS on that team.
THINK COMBINED ARMS
Traditions of our profession…we present roses 🌹 to the spouse of the outgoing commander. At Ft Sill, the custom is the spouse sends a small gift to the crew and horses of the historic salute battery (circa 1916 uniforms). Note the carrots 🥕 for the 🐴 😀 I❤️

What have I learned on Twitter? That I stand a better chance of wiping that annoying smile off Ronald’s face than a tweet has of changing someone’s mind on who they want for President. I also heard there is a 100% chance that ARMY BEATS NAVY!😀 hahaha 💥

Agile & adaptive. Great example of the Army learning to fight & win on a COVID battlefield. New recruits no longer get haircuts on day 1. Now it’s on day 14 after 2xCOVID tests & 14 days of controlled monitoring. THIS PROTECTS OUR BARBERS. 🇺🇸we fight. We adapt. We WIN
I love this job! After briefing Commanders & CSM’s at the Pre-Command Course, one of my young troopers from 1-10 Cavalry, SGM (then PFC) Cole (medic) came up to say hi. We served together in the initial invasion…19 years ago YES I AM OLD, SO WHAT!?!😀 Steadfast & Loyal!
