Biden checking his watch
Biden checking his watch was worse than it appeared. Listen to these new Gold Star fathers and what they had to say. Imagine watching your child’s casket come off a plane and the president who put them there is checking his watch during the transfer ceremony.
President Joe Biden needs to issue a public apology.
Joe Biden checks his watch
For those that have taken part in either ramp-side or other memorial ceremonies for the fallen, could you imagine checking your watch during the ceremony?
This video has been passed around and laughed at as it should be, but I’d like to point out a different perspective.
These are Taliban “soldiers”. Except for the ones we trained (and even some of those) they have little to no training. They don’t get out and run 5 miles every morning. They don’t have to roach march 12 miles in 3 hours with a 50 pound pack. They don’t have to maintain specific training measures.
They also don’t have to worry about equal opportunity and all the sensitivity training our military endures.
Regardless of all of this, fighters just like this have killed some of our best and bravest. The same as untrained kids in gangs kill people. It doesn’t take much skill, just the will to fight and a cause.
My point is, for all the people that think they can just roll into Afghanistan and “stack bodies” because they have a grunt style shirt and a gun show kitted out AR-15, just don’t.
Besides, it’s not just the Taliban. They have support from our enemies, but that’s another story/post.
Think about the things you see Americans complain about like their pronouns, slow WiFi, etc. Now watch this video and imagine being this desperate to save your own life.
Biden couldn’t have been more wrong.
This will go down as one of the worst, most wrong presidential speeches in history.
The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial in France is located in Colleville-sur-Mer, on the site of the temporary American St. Laurent Cemetery, established by the U.S. First Army on June 8, 1944 as the first American cemetery on European soil in World War II. The cemetery site, at the north end of its half mile access road, covers 172.5 acres and contains the graves of 9,386 of our military dead, most of whom lost their lives in the D-Day landings and ensuing operations.
French volunteers adopt US graves at Normandy and annually rub sand from Normandy Beach into each one, as part of a tribute to those US lives lost during D-Day in 1944. As we pause to reflect on the freedoms provided to us as citizens, remember those that never came home in the effort to protect it.

Finding the toxic person in a workplace.
Great lesson here. Would have been helpful for management at my last job.
Successful Approach
After struggling the other day and posting about it I figured I would post my rebound today. I was ready to get back in the air and put that training flight behind me even though I learned. Today was even windier, but I felt better and got better. This was my first successful approach, the instructor is mirroring the controls (I would too) but it's all me. I missed my exact mark by about 30 feet, but I've got around 200 feet at this point in my training. I didn't master anything, but you only get around an hour at a time to tame this beast and I'm having fun. Easy is boring.
Here’s a #tbt from when I was in the 82nd and we “deployed” in support of Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. @davidmuirabc followed me around for about 45 mins with my squad and I got a few seconds of fame from it. This isn’t the full clip though, I got a few more seconds later on. 😆 Good times.

Should Veterans slow down? Why??
I'm asking a question about something I've heard and experienced, do veterans really need to "slow down" when they transition into the work force? Why? Watch the video and comment below.
To the fallen, celebrate and honor them. Happy Memorial Day.
