or we would be forced to leave chow plates behind because the dfac ran out of to go plates and they didn’t want to let us take food out in two plates.

“Sir, you should get over to the hangar. PAO has been playing wiffle ball by...”
Now that it’s gotten about 50 notes, I feel the need to note that my photo of an Afghan woman and her child was supposed to accompany an officially released story.
My chain didn’t see why it was relevant or any reason to release the photo, so it wasn’t included with the story.
It has more notes than any of the other photos combined, and has apparently struck a chord.

Leadership: the good, the bad and the ugly
In three short years in the Marine Corps, I’ve seen the gamut of leaders. I’ve seen natural leaders, strong leaders, quiet leaders, leaders who are constantly struggling to maintain their own position, poor leaders and, worst of all, terrible leaders who think they’re great. Hell, in a few months on Tumblr I’ve seen that from fellow service members.

I need to make a Douchebag Steve meme
but for my release chain.
“Civilian and military media outlets already released that information? No we still can’t acknowledge it.”
“There’s a huge operation coming up? We’re not sending our own correspondents, just the civilian reporters.”
*Gets clearance from higher to release a photo* *Asks everyone and their mother for permission until they get a...

maryannwilliams23 asked: I saw your post about that Army officer who was harassing you. That was stupid of them. Most officers are college idiots who have no experience dealing with people. They shouldn't have said what they said. I think you are right about what you said about the book.

It's taken a lot of mistakes
and a lot of having to learn things the hard way, but I will never again allow myself to be with someone who makes me feel bad about myself.
There is never a situation in which it is okay to be with someone who makes you feel less than. Or second best. Or disposable.

Tired of being sad and let down.
If I learned anything from my ex, it’s that the only thing you can believe is someone’s actions. I will never again degrade myself by being with someone who tells me one thing and does another.
