🙌 Round one of chili weekend for those in need of a warm meal in downtown St. Louis. Building relationships with people while serving needs. Thank you to those who contributed financially and with your time. We will be able to do this again because of everyone’s generosity.
In August 2021, when the Pfizer shots received FDA licensure, and just before the booster received EUA, the top two FDA vaccine reviewers with decades of experience announced their departure.
This Wednesday, I will hold a hearing that will uncover what was happening at FDA.
I can confidently say I understand the many aspects to this DoD supported program and the arguments for and against the differing services’ policies for the implementation of usage and restrictions. The limitations are well known to me, but considering we just heard in the last several months how Marine Corps recruiting and readiness higher compared to the other services, something doesn’t’t add up with the messaging. What are the service leaders doing to advocate to the DoD policy makers for getting what’s needed to make this program successful as currently intended instead of yanking the carpet from underneath it.
Better yet, let’s pull all these ancillary programs that cost time and money so we can properly fund and manage the VA and its resources. That matters much more for the veterans and will ultimately matter more in the long run for the majority of the service members.
Oh, and as two time MoH recipient Smedley Butler accurately stated, “War is a racket.”
Fitness is a journey that takes time to reach your destination. Once you get there, you want to keep going onto the next destination, and the next.
About a 4 year difference from the left to the right. No filters or photoshops - just from the phone (right shoulder bruising from an airsoft shot 😂).
It's possible and doable regardless of goals. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't from my trainer @bencanning87 and if you want an amazing personal trainer - he's the guy to go to (for men and women).

Having a full training plan, what food I eat and track, and a support group of amazing folks was instrumental to this success. It's more than having him as a trainer, its the system you get put into that you can sustain for the rest of your life.
I'm not at my destination yet, and truthfully - never will be. I'm always pushing myself to the next level.

What are some ways units can mitigate the loss at scale of those individuals currently since the current M&RA model doesn’t facilitate sending an official replacement until the Marine has separated in most cases? I’m not referencing ones and two-sies in a one year period coupled with trying to facilitate a majority of the PCSs as summer moves.
The part that frustrates me most about a decision to dictate a service-wide limitation to the existing DoD policy for this program is that when we’re talking about unit readiness (even as it feeds into service readiness), the unit CO should be best fit to make that determination while maximizing the support of that service member to the greatest extent possible.
I’d be okay with a service-wide policy that created a criteria-based readiness chart with generalized guidelines on how Commanders could use it in their own policies or decision making process.
I’m not proofreading this so it may not make much sense on here. 😆
Today, let’s take a moment to remember our brave veterans who are battling not just #homelessness, but also the invisible wounds of #PTSD. Their courage doesn’t end on the battlefield. Let’s stand with them, offer our support, and remind them they are not alone. #Support
WARNING - Serious Privacy Risk for X Users - This is beyond FUCKTARDED that @elonmusk hasn't ordered this setting by default.
This feature is only on mobile, not browser based so you need to use your phone to fix it which you should do NOW.
X's new voice calling feature leaks your IP address by default. Threat actors can obtain any user's IP address just by initiating a call. X enabled the feature for all accounts last week. To fix: Settings ➡️ Privacy & Security ➡️ Direct Messages ➡️ Turn On Enhanced Call Privacy
Or do what I did and just turn off calls all together. If you don't have my number I don't want you calling me anyway.
@majtoure They only see what they want to be true. Anyone that’s spent time around you in person or virtually or even reads your posts can see otherwise.
Negativity is the killer of our mood, progress, energy, focus, health, family, and more.
I live my life the way I do through cutting out as much negativity (including people) from my life.
This is a great book to read on how to do a negativity fast and can make a huge difference in your own life if you are consumed daily with negativity.

@EdCSutton Ma’am, as I type this, literally half the country, 25 states, do not require a permit.
People are and ought to be free and you don’t get a say.
