Let Me Tell You About The Time A Book Saved My Life In Iraq

Ok full disclosure this is not as drastic as the time One Tree Hill saved my life in Iraq. However, it was still an impactful moment for me during my deployment and honestly, I didn't realize how much so until about a week ago when I was reflecting in my office.  When I went to Iraq I was 23 years o

What planet am I on anymore? And today of all days… I woke up so excited for my free Applebees riblets meal and 30% Kohl's discount and this lunacy nearly crushed my vibe.

Quick refresher:  Back in Fall of 2022 Army Private Travis King got an assault charge for punching a fella in the face at a South Korean club, and then a couple weeks later he got into another conflict & proceeded to cause a bunch of damage to the back of a police car. A classic E-2 tale.  Apparentl

Veterans At This Flooded VFW Post Refused To Give Up, So Now Dave Portnoy Is Matching All Donations To Save It And Rebuild

Last Fall Hurricane Ida ripped through the Philly area & destroyed homes & businesses along the Schuylkill River (don’t ask me how many tries it took to spell that right). Among the destruction was VFW Post 6956 in Gladwyn, right outside the city. Water went all the way up to the ceiling and in the

And thank you to the staff at Men's Ware

It is an absolute fact that being fat in the military is frowned upon. You cant do it. Well, you cant do it for long. One of my fondest memories is being put i
