I refuse to put my ex-Army rank on anything. Civilians (even ex-military ones) have no rank.

Webster’s definition of a tryhard. He’s a toddler and the embodiment of the Peter Principle. He was/is an embarrassment in uniform and even more of joke trying to lead people whose selfless service he can’t comprehend.

I think there was one early in AFG, but most of the GWOT jumps were by Rangers and/or 173d.

We had quite a few injuries in Andrew’s jump. Newsflash: concrete is hard.

Jumped into Andrew’s AFB once.

Hope there’s some grass around/on PDX.

And yikes. As the lone Intel guy who sat in the meeting where the 3-⭐️ OIR CDR faced off with his RUS counterpart over the Al Tanf outpost…

Was the coolest SVTC I’ve ever been in BTW. I know…low bar, but still.

It has been a whirlwind two days. From our launch yesterday to four media interviews today. Nearly 2,000 folks have stepped up to donate to our grassroots campaign. It’s humbling. We are working to come out swinging and take back MO-2 and help working Missourians. ICMYI our kick off video.

Yeah. Will be interesting to see if they hit that number. Sounds like quite a free we’re offered a “buyout”.
