Told my son I’d find a new trail for us to walk our dog each weekend. Did a trail run recon yesterday of Mason Neck State Park. Took him today. He loved it.

A currently serving O6 commander continually tweets at SECDEF while blasting others for careerism. I do t know, if you’re the only Brigade level commander in the army tweeting at the SECDEF, you might be a careerist. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Brother in San Antonio (a PT) told me that his colleagues are working with no pay treating patients. Some are a pay cycle away from being in dire straits.

Trail run at Mason Neck State Park.

Last spoke w/Pat in Baghdad when he was Milley’s (then the CSA) Executive Officer; spoke w/his brother Matt few weeks ago at AUSA. There are more than a few exceptional officers — only a handful of Pat Works. Apparently the name on your evaluation is more important than mEriToCrAcY.

A distraught man came to Broadview searching for his wife of five years after she was taken by ICE at her court hearing. He wasn’t told anything, tracked her by her phone, and was left weeping in the parking lot.

This is our first fall without our sugar maple. Had to have it removed due to disease. She really showed off in the fall. 🍁🍂

Influencers say Pentagon policies on social media monetization are vague and unevenly enforced. "Right now, everything is vague," one told BI's Kelsey Baker: www.businessinsider.com/military-inf...

Oh, Dort. GWOT vet here. The kick in the nuts was a President attempting to overthrow the Constitutional order, not citizens freely casting votes for their preferred candidate, regardless of my desired outcome. Might want to dust off that oath you claim to live by.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

Loving the R takes on the election results here in the Commonwealth of VA. Saw a sm post where one still refers to the Republican Party as family-centered and posits the party should be able to attract likeminded “legal” immigrants from SA, Africa, and C. America. Completely of touch.

First three pics are from around my yard.

@dankaszeta.bsky.social need your expertise. If I’m ever assaulted with mustard and onion how should I neutralize it? 😂

So…a foot long exploded on his chest?

Cleaning out pics on my phone. I took this in Paris last December. No idea why. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sometimes I think about this “stolen valor” tweet and have a chuckle.

As a battalion commander on TDY orders to Malawi, I had to come into the office for the unit GSA van to take us all to the airport. A government vehicle picking any of us up at our residences would’ve been convenient but considered misuse. This is an egregious abuse of taxpayer $.

From the tariffs aren’t taxes crowd.

The infamous LTC is on one about how the UN loves mass migration, there is no such thing as climate change, and the US must protect Nigerian Christians. My brother in Christ, let me tell you about the effects of climate on the farmer (Christian)-herder (Muslim Hausa + Fulani) conflict.

Abuja and Lagos 2018. Met w/dozens of defense officials, development-focused NGOs, business leaders, government officials, and visited ECOWAS.

The American intervention in Somalia in the early 90s was really about khat!

Really messed up by not investing in that (very real) planned pipeline in Afghanistan when I was there. Would’ve paired nicely with the Iraqi dinar in my portfolio.

The US did not take control of Iraqi oil. If it did, Iraq wouldn’t be flaring gas in 2025 and importing energy from Iran with frequently granted waivers to CAATSA. Nigerian oil is in south, not in Middle Belt and NE where communal violence historically highest.

Put a warning label on posts like this, Sharon!

Scenes from a slow run.

Best World Series since Braves-Twins in 1991.

Didn’t have the return of R2P on my bingo card.

Everyone reading this, please know what Dort claims here was never a thing. Giving him benefit of doubt, only thing remotely close was targeting of select individuals. Still yet ROE never prohibited engaging a threat based on hostile intent, which could be interpreted fairly liberally.

Me: Gavin, what do you think I should do — go back to school or find a new job? G: I think you should find a job so you can have fun with your friends. * Not sure we have the same idea of fun!

My government shutdown mood right now. Democrats should hold fast and let Trump simmer in the mess he's creating.

InfantryDork™️ is on another one! @mikeblack114.bsky.social @sharonk.bsky.social

Fountainhead Regional Park along the Occoquan. Switchbacks kicked my ass!

Grew up conservative. Identified as such for much of my adult life. One of the main reasons why I live in a liberal, metro area. It’s a choice

God, you're gonna make me cry. What poem is that from? Is that James Joyce?

Happy Halloween 🎃 👻

Famously, Dork here is the only one who’s ever been to combat. Here’s me in Pleiku in ‘67.

Think we have one! bsky.app/profile/armo...

Ok, Dort! lmfao

Niece is an army pediatrician. She went to the hospital as Yoshi today. Her husband made her this to complete the look. Now I want one!

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

Who said it best — InfantryDork™️ or Sayyid Qutb? @mikeblack114.bsky.social @sharonk.bsky.social

I’m going into the breach…

When you call yourself the leaders of a democratic country, but have to hide on a military base from the people that you rule.

Guys, stop with all the pessimism about the economy. It’s doing great. You can tell because UPS, Amazon, and Target are all planning to lay off thousands of people right before the largest shopping and shipping holiday of the year.

G is locked in! ❤️ 😂 🏴‍☠️

Normal you say?

The Palace goes full scorched earth.
