@justinmaniluh The Twelve can very well function without him. He thrives on attention so just ignore him and he’ll shrivel away.

@alvaro_maestro 10 out of 16. Six is doable given the short time left

Lost three in a row. This should dull the sting a bit tonight.

@badbloodkitty @iniemohk True. Malambing pa rin tayo kahit galit na. “Te magbato ka gid?” “Sa pila ka adlaw, makita mo good sa akon”. Be ready when an ilonggo say those words to you

Hail and farewell D. Thank you and proud to have worn the same uniform as you

@laiteranidaddy Not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. Nakaloko na lolokohin pa ang niloko. (I may have spelled some words wrong. Ilonggo. lol)

@lesliebocobo Well put. Best to stop talking and just walk away

@sotto_tito It’s a Pyrrhic victory for the vacuous thirteen and they’ll probably end up killing each other anyway.

@couchpotatochi @ANLUfet_ These people do not or refuse to understand that the person they support abhors their kind. I’ve disassociated myself from their ilks since the first regime. Even those I’ve served in the trenches with.

The way i understand it is that they trust a male felon more than a qualified woman.

Channel your anger and despair into strengthening your resolve. Midterm will be interesting

One day I was directing an F-14 Tomcat that was heading from the fueling area back to the flight-line. It was being piloted by an old grizzly Lt. Commander.

He had a reputation for ignoring the signals from Plane Captains/Crew Chiefs. Everyone was too afraid of him to do or say anything.

I was a young E-3. He ignored my hand signals to come to a stop. I was fucking furious.

I stormed into my Chief, “Chief, I’m writing Lt. Commander Williams up!”

“Slow down. We don’t want to do that.”

“Chief, I didn’t say anything about ‘we.’ I am writing him up. It’s a safety issue. I don’t care who he is.”

I wrote him up.

Two things happened:

1. The Lt. Commander had a little chat with our Commanding Officer. Lt. CDR never again ignored anyone’s signals…of any kind.

2. I was promoted to the position the senior plane captain, even though I had been there the shortest amount of time at that point.

The Commanding Officer called me to his office one afternoon.

“No one else would have done that. I have Master Chief’s who afraid to do anything regarding Lt. CDR Williams. You’ve either got big balls, or you’re crazy. I don’t think you’re crazy. How can an E-3 do something his Chief won’t even do?”

I answered, “Because it was the right thing to do, sir. It shouldn’t be hard for anyone to do. I think they think too much. That’s what I think.”

“I like you. You remind me of myself at that age. You’re going to train all of my Plane Captain’s to think like you do. You get shit done and don’t let your head get in the way. Well done. I’ll let Chief know and you can start getting them trained up starting Monday.”

I actually thought he was calling me up to chew my ass, take half of my pay for three months or worse. I didn’t really know. But, I didn’t care. I knew I had done the right thing, and if he didn’t agree…I would happily take the heat…and do the same damn thing again the next day, if the situation called for it.

He didn’t call me up to chew my ass.

I will never forget him standing behind me, and giving me the boost that he did.

We have to be willing to do what others are afraid or unwilling to say or do. There should be no other way.

Was I ever afraid? No. I was too pissed off to feel any fear.

Looking back, had my Navy career have ended that day-which would have been stupid-I’d have been okay with that. I’d have been able to look back, all these years later, and say, “That’s okay. I did what I knew was the right thing to do. And I knew no one else was going to.”

We have to accept that there might be consequences….and do it anyway.

Had I not have written him up, I’d have had regret. Regret is forever. Ass chewing’s and losing half of your pay is temporary.

Two guys in a helicopter were crossing a mountain range when the rotor broke and the chopper was going to crash.
As they were falling the pilot calmly reached into to his pocket and pulled out a tube of bright red lipstick. 💄
He put the lipstick on, then tore the steering wheel out of the dashboard and shoved it up his ass.
The passenger looked at the pilot and shouted, What the hell are you doing? We’re going to die!"
“There’s nothing we can do,” the pilot replied. “I'm just giving the crash investigators something to think about."

@thearightnow Tell me about it

[KaCely 📎 @saudisyn]

@thearightnow Is China saying that they will invade/annex Taiwan like the Russians did in Ukraine? Quite telling that Warren Buffet sold his TMSC holdings. 🤔

@Simply_Clinton Maybe the body was buried deeper than six feet? Idk

[KaCely 📎 @saudisyn]

@gangbadoy I use soapy water. Seem to work

@Marc_DAmico That’s where people park their cahs

@Simply_Clinton The only connection is the paddle hitting the neo.
