they are spoiled children

these men and others like them do more to keep civilization going than 99.9% of all other professions

world grinds to a halt without them think about it

nearly every single consumer product you've ever used was either made from, made with, or delivered to you thanks to petroleum

Can't remember the last time I read something that got me choked up like this.

Thank you, Dave. I'll make sure the whole team sees it.

We absolutely love what we do, and being recognized for our role in saving lives and turning them around is such an honor for all of us. 🙏 A few excerpts I'll comment on:

"Tom...came to the recovery game through two passions. His father was an alcoholic..."

Addiction killed my dad 23 years ago, five days before I graduated high school. Three weeks before boot camp.

Can't say he ever really left. It was tough.

In this week's episode of "Failures in Military Leadership"

CAPTAIN SCOTT SWITZER ! @nsabethesda

You're in one of the most expensive areas in America, but you can't provide HOT WATER for your troops FOR OVER A YEAR?

What is your problem?

navytimes.com/news/your-navy… But you "discussed quality of life concerns" at yet another limp-wristed "Town Hall," huh?

The masks and "social distancing" were a nice touch.

Way to look out for their "health and safety" while explaining why they can't have hot water in winter.

Is there a media blackout on last night’s air traffic controller walkout in Jacksonville, FL?

Hundreds of flights canceled.

Walkout due to vax mandate

Been hearing from friends on active duty.

Total loss of confidence in top brass.

“I think after this whole incident I’m just gonna spend the rest of my time at [redacted] and get out”

“Don’t have it in me to commit to these fucking people’s leadership and guidance” “I’ve just had it with these douchebags. Why hasn’t anyone resigned yet?”

“Thank God I can finally get out and retire in a year and half. I’m so fucking over it.”

is this a fucking joke Most people who didn’t spend much time in the service don’t understand this…

On average, our generals and admirals are terrible at what they do.

Incompetent and/or distracted leadership at the highest levels, and a system structured to encourage it.

** ATTENTION VETERANS **

1/ I spent nearly my entire adult life in the military, spending some of my happiest and most fulfilling days wearing the cloth of our nation.

But when we leave and enter “the real world,” it can be a struggle for many of us.

Myself included. 2/ Demons that manifested themselves in the service come back to haunt us, and sometimes we don’t know where to turn.

Drugs and alcohol are a big part of that.

I can think of more than a few friends, shipmates, and teammates in a rough spot right now.

I bet you can, too.

Meanwhile, here at home... The opioid crisis rages on.

Spent the better part of today convincing a young addict and his girlfriend holed up in a crummy motel to come to our treatment center.

We’re two minutes away from the pickup, and he texts me. I called immediately to see what went wrong.

Miramar Recovery is a beautiful, safe environment in an idyllic destination. You’d be happy to stay with us.

These kids are homeless. We’re about to pull them out of a drug den and into safety.

Why would they say no?!?!

Happy now, @ScottAdamsSays ???

Security at @TrumpDC wasn’t thrilled with me after this, so don’t let it flop
#BidenPushupChallenge @JoeBiden A father and daughter sitting at a table at @BLTPrime knew exactly what I was doing and put it up on Snapchat 🤣 🤣 🤣

1/ For Veterans Day, I’d like to point out someone pretty special.

This is my stepdad, Jim Reeves. Navy Corpsman In Vietnam. 2/ Then spent 22 years with LAPD. Wilshire Division. Homicide. Got shot at his first day on the job.

Thanks to him, I grew up with a deep love and respect for law enforcement, especially LAPD.

My dad struggled with addiction his entire life. It killed him when I was a teenager.

@JackPosobiec is one of a handful of people who inspired me to quit drinking. It’s only been nine months, but I haven’t looked back.

Life-changing to say the least. Pleasantly surprised by the traction this tweet received, I’m very grateful.

Thankfully, I never sank to the depths of addiction that so many others have, I made the call before it came to that.

I’m sure you can think of people in your life right now in a very dark place.

🆘 🚨 🆘 🚨 🆘

ARMY FAMILY OF SEVEN LOSES EVERYTHING IN FIRE

Please give these folks a hand. Dad is a 30-year career Army officer moving his family from DC to TX.

Please donate and spread the word!

gofundme.com/f/army-family-… FYI, I’ve personally verified authenticity through my friend and Naval Academy classmate working on Capitol Hill (@JBPhotoAK).

They were neighbors before the move; we just spoke over the phone. It’s very legit.

DM me if you require details.

Based on the video, the evidence *suggests*:

a) Device placed in/on the ship ahead of time, or

b) Waterborne attack, i.e. suicide boat / drone, USS Cole style

Almost certainly *NOT* a mine. Torpedo unlikely. You lay mines in choke points, not "open ocean."

Remember the game "Minesweeper?" Imagine a grid with millions of squares. Not enough mines in the entire Iranian inventory to cover even a fraction of the GOO.

1/ Thirteen years ago, the Class of 2006 graduated from the United States @NavalAcademy

Soon after, we were scattered around the globe in the name of America.

We fought, and we killed. Four of us gave our lives. 2/ We left behind limbs in far away lands and came home with life-changing injuries.

Despite the challenges, toil, and suffering, the Class of 2006 continues to be the most impressive group of men and women I have ever had the privilege of knowing.
