Evening, all! Mike, I'm so stinkin' jealous I'm turning green. We had a series of storms and rain come through with some moderately cooler weather. It was breezy today, so I took advantage of it and...

Hmmmm. ALL the regulars? You don't say. Well, if the shoe fits. . . ;)

I'll have to keep in mind that the rule tends to apply across the Corps should I run into other Marines in person.

Had a...

Haha. Oh, lord. I'd forgotten all about that. Note to self: take care in discussing certain baked goods on LN.com as members of the BS/Tom-Foolery Unit will take it in an entirely different direction.

Haha. Hey, Lisa! I've been in the land called BUSY. Traveling to do some research, going to required instructor workshops, prepping for the coming semester (teaching and my own work), and the list...

Too hot for coffee? Sacrilege! We're supposed to get a cool front coming through this weekend. Highs in the low 80s for a few days. I'll take it!

I'm with Advanced and Top. Mac is the way to go. I boarded the Apple train back in 2011 when my Dell laptop cratered on me out of the blue. Never looked back.

I'm obviously not a Marine, but I have a bit of experience with language/writing/etc. I agree with your post, Mike, but this particular part is what I'm most familiar with.



Yes. Proper nouns...

I've never been one to buy into the whole "Real Man vs. Man/boy/take your pick" argument. Had a male friend of mine tell me a while back that ultimately, there is no "real man" category. You're...

Hah! Hardly, Andy. I had required courses in college that covered this stuff. I just went to class and paid attention.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I too fall into the category of "religious in my own way," and...

IF an agnostic or an atheist were to call out to God in a moment of crisis, I would guess it would be due to each of us in Western society being socialized by and within a largely Judeo-Christian...

Not necessarily. Most know that you meant well with posting this. The 10 Commandments represent a basic code of conduct that many in our Judeo-Christian culture have accepted regardless of their...

Thought this applicable seeing how there's so much dishonesty, misinformation, half-truths, and outright intentional deceit out there in so many places these days.

“There is beauty in truth, even...

Lt. General Krulak mentions this in his book, First to Fight. Like Zulu mentioned, the Army broke some records flying Gen. Joseph Stillwell out quick, fast, and in a hurry from the US since they...

Oh, dear. It's getting deep around here. May need to get out my barn boots. :)

A friend of mine from college lives down near Ft. Still in SW Oklahoma. A little while back those B-52s were using the artillery ranges to do some live fire bombing exercises in preparation for...

Every little bit helps. Thanks, troop.

That's a great amount to have raised. Hopefully, it'll keep going up.

This isn't like a Kickstarter campaign where they need to reach a certain amount before proceeding. Each donation transfers into the account set up automatically, so there's no...

Good to see it's still going.

Getting there. Slowly but surely.

Hope they reach that goal. Thoughts and prayers still with this Marine and his family.

It's great to see people giving to someone they don't even know. People helping people. Always a good thing.

Yeah, I've been keeping up with them. I get email notifications when there are updates. Prayers and best wishes still going out to this Marine and his family. So incredibly sad.

You're welcome. Glad to help you help one of your own.

Many thanks. It's amazing how much has been raised in such a short period of time. Good to see!
