Nice review of #AdvanceBritannia in The Naval Review. “Is there a need for yet another book looking at the British contribution to the war? Yes, this one.” www.naval-review.com/book-reviews...

17/2026 Sir Gawain and the Green Knight translated by J.R.R. Tolkien. Reading 14th century English poetry was fun. Thanks to the local #library for this find. Edited by Christopher Tolkien.

Nine times out of ten, "they didn't teach us this in school" is shorthand for "I didn't do the assigned reading".

To all those who fulfill the role in so many ways. Happy Mother’s Day.

An Irish Army team has won gold in the Sullivan Cup, an international competition run by the US Calvary Corps. They won the Bradley competition which is quite impressive given most of the participants probably never saw a Bradley until last month

Farewell awards for a captain moving to his next duty station. It’s good to see good people succeed and grow. #GoArmy

#OTD in 1864 the armies of William T. Sherman and Joseph E. Johnston tangle at Rocky Face Ridge, opening the Atlanta Campaign. Sherman’s offensive will include hard fighting and deft maneuvering that culminated in the fall of Atlanta that September, followed soon after by the “March to the Sea.”

Re-enlisted a recruiting station commander INDEF. An exceptional leader who will keep going far. The Army is in good hands. The NCO Corps keeps the Army alive. #GoArmy

Deeply honoured to receive the St. Germain medal from the Danish Society for Military Science last night. 🎖️ Only 28 recipients since 1924, it’s a humbling reminder of the giants who have shaped Danish military thinking. As an officer & philosopher, I’m grateful for the recognition. (1/5)

Publication day.

This is why leaders planning rigorous and tough training matters.

16/2026 Decisive Battles of the Civil War by Joseph B. Mitchell This was a steal at $1 from a used bookstore. Published in 1955 and does a splendid job detailing the start of the Civil War and the subsequent campaigns. I would buy multiple copies for my team if they were available.

Reading a Military Review article about the effects of lost high school access during the pandemic on recruiting. I'll post some thoughts later. The author is going to go work on the USARD/USAREC staff. Good call by the Army. #Profession #GoArmy

The tortie is trying to eat a spicy sky raisin. 😬

Special Warfare magazine is publishing it tomorrow!

Going to pull a poetry chapbook from a publishing contact so I can regain control of it and send it to someone else. Was looking at old text messages and it’s been a year. 🫤 Boundaries give me freedom. Boundaries give me freedom. Boundaries give me freedom.

I never saw this part of his life and he only really talked about it after I went into the military. Battalion command photo July 1968 - August 1968 307th Engineer Battalion. He was the XO once a Lieutenant Colonel arrived. He loved being part of the 82nd Airborne. Miss you Dad.

Ah well. Helluva year!

Lots to build on for the Pens after a season in which they exceeded all expectations. They learned a lot about themselves, and the team learned a lot about its needs going forward. Better days are ahead.

Writing is thinking. Outsourcing your writing is outsourcing your thinking.

This Day in Labor History: April 27, 1944. The Roosevelt administration orders Montgomery Ward president Sewell Avery to allow a union so his workers didn't strike during the war and hurt the war effort. When he refused, the Army physically evicted him from company offices! Let's talk about it!!

#OTD in 1865, Gen. William T. Sherman takes the surrender of all Confederate forces in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida, at Bennett Place, near Durham, North Carolina. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston delivers the capitulation of 90,000 men, the largest of the war.

I have an interview in a couple weeks for the Army‘s Advanced Strategic Planning and Policy Program (ASP3). I’m nervous, excited for the opportunity. Inspiration and encouragement come from a lot of places. Gratitude thread 🧵 1/x

Not bad for a $1 used bookstore find. #histbookchat #CivilWar

Taking a walk through #IWMLondon 's new exhibition #BeautyAndDestruction: Wartime London in Art. A thread...🧵 A few images that leapt out at me, starting with Muirhead Bone's chalk and wash 'Building a Caisson for Mulberry Harbour, 1944'

Happy 118th Birthday to the US Army Reserve!

and that's what studying history is all about, really. recognizing that everything is connected and interlocking and everything effects everything else and if you want to really actually prevent the worst of it from happening again, you can't just look at it from one angle. it's everything

#histbookchat The bribes, the corruption, the willingness to go beyond any orders given for wanton destruction. Reprehensible on every level.
