Highly decorated combat veteran from both Iraq and Afghanistan. Spent most of my formative years in bars along 6th Street and in strange sorority girls arms. Sobered up and found myself in Basic Training. By then, my fate was sealed. I'm a proud Non Commissioned, I hunt, I fish, I'm a sports nut and I spend my lunches in the gym instead of Whataburger.
LT, your unit sounds like it sucks. What type of unit are you in?
I wish I could complain about my unit. However, aside from the normal Army bullshit, it’s pretty chill. I can split at lunch and hike in the refuge or hunt whitetail antler shed in the pasture near my building. We did a “team building event” where we hiked six miles in the refuge last week. It was voluntary and we could wear whatever we wanted. Aside from the wind, the temps were great and it was sunny. Too bad we can’t say that about today.
I’m not saying this because I went to UT, but I don’t see how a canvass can center their loyalty to one player and not the team. Manziel has stated he hates College Station and can’t wait to leave. I’ve seen the Maroon Meltdown over the last two weeks and seen people in shock that A&M didn’t win 10 games. Any given Saturday. Auburn went 3-9 last year. Now look at them. A fan can’t bail on a team because one player moves on.
How about that one person who is selling the pyramid dietary supplement scheme, i.e. Herbalife. On my friends list I have a brother and sister who do it. They are constantly posting about how great it is, where the next 5 AM outdoor workout will be or posting a photo of how empty the gym is at 10 PM on a Saturday night.
This man only approved a 1% raise, so it’s doubtful we get paid. In April of 2011, during the last big looming shutdown, we were informed that we would be required to work without pay. We’d get paid when a resolution was reached, but not until then. The money is already there for the first, but the 15 could be painful for many enlisted Soldiers and young officers with families.
Two Tylenol and two beers. You’ll sleep fine. Just be sure to take it early enough that you don’t oversleep your alarm the next day. I had to use it when I was deployed because of the constant noises of planes, rockets, and military vehicles going around through out the night. I didn’t have beer, though. A glass of iced tea with lemon will suffice.
I’m glad you included a reference to the recruiting trail. I’ll add, is isn’t just getting whipped, he’s whipping himself. He didn’t see QB potential in RGIII and Johnny Manziel, therefore passed on them, which left him with David Ash and a stunningly underproductive Case McCoy. He even passed on Bo Wallace, the QB at Ole Miss who hung 44 points on them Saturday night. He can no longer pull in 5 star recruits “just because it’s Texas”. Players want to be in the big boy conference (SEC) because they know that opens the window to the NFL.
In Texas, we have girls who constantly act tough. They were either raised on a farm or ranch or spent enough time at the deer lease that they can shoot better than most men. Be tough when you need to be tough. Be cute and funny on a date. If you are constantly telling me about how you either A) got snakebit and survived, B) grew up roping cattle and can ride all day in the heat or C) can’t go a paragraph without telling me how you don’t cry like most girls, it’s time for you to hit the road.

Excellent column!! Your work is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

Thus time of the year, the girls at the bar aren’t there to work on a neon tan. Get out a few nights a week and see what’s available.
Will there be a special “New Years Struggle” next Wednesday?
I took a car air freshener shaped like a tree and thumbtacked it to the wall in my office. Merry Christmas.

Bolen, did you get this from my photo submission earlier today?
Not to seem like a troll, but I honestly have no idea what this is.
#13. Every. Single. Day. I spend a good hour each day checking picks, odds and money lines.

Nope. Haha. #8. Thank God we have a full fridge and coffee maker down there.
I don’t understand Dr Who. I saw an ad for it the other day and it looks like reruns from the 80’s.
I’m in one of these pics. I woke up at my deer lease in my bunk. That’s not where I started.
I have all of these, minus the mirror. I have a small office and my desk faces the door. I would add a couple of items.
1. Your own coffee cup and creamer.
2. A bottle of hand sanitizer.
3. A hidden change jar.
16a. You have a recliner that everyone knows is “my chair”.
