I get absolutely no value from this social media platform anymore. It is simply a circular argument of "my point is more valuable than yours - concede," but usually with name-calling.

I've witnessed some of the worst of society here. And for what? What has been accomplished?

@Asst_to_the_RM Where did we go?

[Ray Miller @Xennial_Sapper]

@a_t_lepley @IPPSArmy Not for all of us. #TrainToLead 🫡

[Ray Miller @Xennial_Sapper]

@medium_tony Mahalo for your concern.

My daughter: Dad. Did you know that there were people a long time ago that threw parties because they thought the world was ending?
Me: When was this?
Her: Like 1990 something.
Me: 1999?
Her: Yeah! Crazy! Right?
Me: I was there. I was the party. 🥺

@SapperNacho For what it's worth.

On Camp Howze in South Korea, Charlie Rock was located all by itself on the backside of the camp. It was uphill (both ways 👴), and affectionately referred to as "the Rock."

[Ray Miller @Xennial_Sapper]

Great point here. Polling the audience now.

Where did you learn doctrine or how to reference/cite doctrine?

@Destinysraven I think if people actually read it There would be a better understanding of options to go away from the manual. But then again people didn’t know like for PRT before the ACFT….

@SapperNacho Buy that car. Nobody wants to watch the Lions lose.

@EODHappyCaptain I've never closed my door since I've been in a command position. I took the open-door policy very literally. I only close it when someone comes in to use it. If my door is open and I'm in my office - I'm available.

@adventuresofJPT It's a "wake up Mr. Miller!" machine. At least that's how I remember it. 🤙

@SapperNacho I'm consistently filling my BLC classes at 70-80% I'm begging to get more people sent to me that I know are eligible. If you send them- I will train them. There are so many SPC non-promotables that WANT to come. It's the most asked question I get as a Commandant.

@Sapper_Assoc @johnnygi30 @ghorstkj @SapperNacho @AnthonyBarbina @1stENBDE @USAEnReg @TradocCG @169EN_Battalion @AnheuserBusch @grammy_llc I'll miss the start, but I'll catch you at the closing ceremony.

[Ray Miller @Xennial_Sapper]

@adventuresofJPT @neiltyson might have something to say about this post. 🤔 Happy birthday buddy! I hope you had a great one.

Meanwhile, I'm out here trying to save the world by driving a hybrid. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In 1971, engineers from the Soviet Union ignited a fire in a gas-filled hole in the Turkmenistan desert.

Anticipating that the flames would extinguish within days, they were surprised when the fire continued to burn.

Now, 52 years later, this site, known as “The Door to Hell,” is still ablaze.

Children are brutally honest. I told my daughter I got a 550 out of 600 on my ACFT this morning. She simply replied, "Why did you lose 50?"

She's right. I don't have a good excuse. I appreciate her words of wisdom.
