Guys, I need to brag.
My former First Sergeant got his Order of Merit List (OML) number for Sergeant Major.
He was number 3 on the list for EOD.
It was his first look/consideration for promotion.
He will be a Sergeant Major.
The Army got it right. He’s an amazing NCO.
June 17, 1994
One of the most famous days in sports history for multiple reasons.
🏈 O.J. Simpson chase
⛳️ Arnold Palmer's final U.S. Open
⚽️ U.S. hosts first World Cup
🏀 Game 5 of 1994 NBA Finals
🏒 Rangers Stanley Cup parade
⚾️ Ken Griffey Jr.'s 30th HR (tied most before 6/30)
Seating a former member of al-Qaeda in Congress should be a redline, for all Americans!
Tune in to hear why on @The_Watch_Floor:

The Americans didn't care which militia this convoy belonged to as long as they could take them safely to the airport. The obvious concern was where this militia was the whole night when Americans were fighting for their lives. (1/4)
I gave this plaque to the Unit upon my retirement. It hangs in Delta.
This is what I wrote on it:
TO FREEDOM'S GUARDIANS
THANKS

I found these Native American arrowheads on Range 19, which testifies to its long history of use that continues to this day. They symbolize man's first use of weapons for war, peace, and survival. The arrowheads are displayed as part of the Special Forces insignia. The atom emblem symbolizes today's threat to peace, the counterproliferation of weapons of mass destruction by rogue nations. A piece of trinitite represents the atom's nucleus. Trinitite is sand that was transformed into glass by the pressure and heat from the first atomic detonation, July 16, 1945, 5:29:49 A.M. at Trinity Site, near Alamogordo, NM. The plaque signifies the unit's role as the quiet guardians of our nation's freedom and public safety, for which this country is truly indebted. It has been my honor to serve with this organization.
32 years ago today, NYC held a parade for the New York Rangers for winning the Stanley Cup after 54 years.
Tomorrow, the same great city will hold a parade for the New York Knicks for winning an NBA title after 53 years.
Chills. 🥶
