Welcome once again to the standard, one (1) each Puff Long Weekend Safety Brief:
1) Do not add to or subtract from the population of the planet unless you mean to. If you intend to subtract, please call me first, we’ll talk it out. 2) If they words “Hey, ya’ll, watch this” or “hold my beer” are about to cross your lips, I request you take a tactical pause before proceeding

One year ago today, I had what was suspected to be a heart attack during my own damn staff meeting. I had asked to relinquish command less than 24 hours earlier because I knew I was dying

Spoiler: I lived. I relinquished command, lost 5 organs, but I lived
At my lowest point, I learned
-don’t ignore your own health
-the system doesn’t care but people do
-know when to set your ego aside for the mission
-know when to set your ego aside for yourself
-the mission will go on without you
