Grilled cheese perhaps I'm to conservative

When I make grilled ham egg cheese maybe two slices ham two slices cheese egg tomato. I am watching my guys make sandwiches. I’m laughing and I think the fifteen year old has at least five slices cheese on bread in skillet. It is a Dagwood melt.

Happy birthday soldiers today is the U.S. army's birthday

The first army birthday I celebrated was June 14 1984. We stood at attention my platoon at fort benning. Over at harmony church in a old WW 2 Mess hall singing happy birthday to the army. And we had to sing it at least twice as our Senior Drill was not impressed with our attempt. And that second try fell short.

After chow we were smoked with push ups sit ups log drills and mountain climbers. By our senior Drill. Nothing unusual about getting smoked it was common at least five or six times a day maybe more it was a fact of day to day life a hard common. It was a special moment the army’s birthday I wasn’t feeling it.

Another reason was my platoon member another trainee was allowed to have a piece of cake on that day. He had real bad acne and our senior Drill informed him no cake or pie no sweets. On the first day of our 14 week of osut infantry cycle.

On that first day the Senior Drill informed his platoon of former civilians. That he served two tours Heavy combat tours in Vietnam.

And the second tour he volunteered to get away from his first wife. Standing at attention in platoon bay hearing that this SFC. Upon not being happily married and decided to spend a second time fighting the NVA instead of stateside with his first wife. I’m thinking WTF did I get myself into ok. I have 35 months and three weeks and four days on my enlistment.

And as he walked in the middle of the platoon bay. Eyeing all of us up he saw a young trainee with bad acne. And after punishing us all with sit ups and mountain climbers in platoon bay. Reason the army sent him a ugly acne infested civilian how dare they disrespect him. The young soldier with bad acne who would be now known as private qausimodo. Would not be allowed any cake pie chocolate milk for the next 14 weeks. As sweets cause acne according to the Senior Drill.

Sweating in the front leaning rest position I’m thinking to myself. Fucking great not only is this Senior Drill not great at marriage. He has a desire to be a fucking dermatologist. years later singing happy birthday I would often remember that June 14 and smile.

So happy birthday troopers why I think I’ll make shit on a shingle this morning. In memory of our alma mater.

I told sgt major hang here you survived Ripcord my sarcasm , I'll go inside my dear friend

We’re all green here now in south Central Pennsylvania . Reason our state’s repig party or we don’t believe in science party. Flat earth anti vax but Jesus was a pasty white looking dude types republicans. Fought governor wolf on covid 19 safety measures. Sgt major was like no I’ll go in with you. Not one person in butcher shop was wearing a mask maybe 6 customers and 4 employees no mask. We had masks on I didn’t even buy from meat case.

I told the dude I need a 40 pound case boneless chicken breast in a box. Sgt major only wanted us to get a couple pounds to grill today for us after boys came home from swimming he is 70 a widower. The cashier unbelievable at checkout the cashier told us we didn’t have to wear mask. Cashier Seriously she thinks president trump told governor wolf to open up Pennsylvania. I kept quiet just let me buy the chicken I thought.

Ray and I were former airborne infantry he was 25 year career. And it’s small world as he was a company first sgt at Bragg 505 th PIR when I was young airborne troop in 2/325th PIR. Ray actually knew my company first sgt they were neighbors in housing at Bragg. I didn’t know Ray then but we met years later when we moved to south Central Pennsylvania. I always joke with my friend sgt major and he jokes straight back.

When I picked him up this morning he said wow you got the aryan brother hood look going with shaved head and goatee. I replied no barber I’ll shave my head until vaccine. Ray is black that’s why he said that. I told him in Tacoma after we left the butcher. I said Ray the world is made up of LEGS. Army slang for those who are non airborne. My thoughts this second wave of the plague is gonna vicious.

It's like a 24 hour truck stop around here

Seriously thirty three years either union Dock worker or line haul driver or city driver or jockey.I have been in a few truck stops. Wide awake 02:30 head downstairs plug in percolator. Our fifteen year old sons one friend is in kitchen heating up a Walmart pizza. Grab my coffee head out to the deck through living room.

Navigating around amp cords and guitar pedals. Stepping over a chocolate lab menace laying on his back. Morning man after a few wag wags I stopped to rub his stomach. Chocolate lab is hey man I’ll be out later we’re gonna have pizza.

I open up patio sliding door to go and sit with my coffee. And in comes our golden retriever and the Newfie out of the way man we smell pizza. Sitting on the back deck is our sixteen year old with his lap top. Playing hearts of iron it is a cool game where you can decide alternative history.

I get morning dad morning kiddo. I hear dad I have gotten France to surrender. Lite my pipe take a drink of coffee. Dad my peace agreement with Moscow is holding. I’m not sure if I should invade Spain or transport my armies East to invade Russia. I reply why don’t you give your armies a break and stay out of the East. His reply I need Russia’s resources oil mainly. What about Romania. I already own their oil wow decisions.

Cool thing is dad I have England blockaded with my navy.Czechoslovakia Hungary and Romania are sending me their citizens to train for Germany. And I now have mass production to mass produce heavy tanks troop carriers artillery and aircraft. So I’m definitely gonna need Russian resources to build my empire.

Patio door Open’s outcomes two teenagers a pizza and three dogs. I decline the offer of pizza I just need coffee they all eat dogs scored crust. Around 04:30 they’re like ok we’re going bed dogs included swine dining eat and go to sleep. oh dad can you make sure we’re up by 10 am. We’re gonna go to the quarry and swim absolutely I reply.

Screw army go navy ,I feel like I actually won this one on a enlistment

Airborne infantry troops youngest brother. Has enlisted in the navy as a hull tech. Yup at first he was talking about going airborne infantry like his older brother. And I said look you are seventeen and you need to get that will stockdale shit out of your head. Joking the movie no time for sgt’s.

Use this enlistment to advance you as a person. For three years in high school you took plumbing. He applied for pipe trades apprenticeship and he did not get selected this time. My brother is union pipe fitter welder it took him four years to get in and that was in the early 1990’s.

So after boot camp he will be off to hull tech school. I think he told me it is 16 weeks long. After he gets out he will definitely get into the union apprenticeship. He will know how to weld and that is a huge plus. I said think about it you will only be 21 or 22 and then you’ll get into Union for 5 year program on steam fitting and plumbing .

As he turns 18 on June 19 and then leaves for Great Lakes. He was night fishing with us last night he and our boys are still sleeping. He crashed on couch we may go swimming today. Gotta enjoy everyday soon he will be busy.

I explained to my wife bill barr speaking is so weak we control the battlefield

Bill barf speaking to was it Margaret Brennan over the finer points pepper spray. I told my wife of 34 years don’t worry about these facist fuck we will be ok. They today are breathing last breaths. Bill barr goes on tv to explain pepper gas compared to tear gas. Shows me that they are on defense.

They never though this administration that they would have so many marching for justice. Not only for Mr Floyd people are sick and dying. 50 million out of work and 112.000 dead. Trump putting up razor wire fencing faster than he could have ordered mass testing.

I explained we control the battlefield we as marchers we have the numbers we maneuver in many cities to protest. Trump is contained behind his razor wire fence tweeting slogans like law and order out of fear. We are antifa my dear wife we put our boot heels on these facist necks. So don’t worry I tell my wife we have these fucks on defense we’re winning.

So my evangelical trump supporting bro asked me if I got paid by George soros

So I called him to see if he wanted to hook up to swim this afternoon with his grandkids or step grandkids not sure how that works. He finds it aggravating that I and four vet friends went to support Mr Floyd’s memory and his family and others who have had police violence delivered upon them. He was like what would have happened if it went violent.

I replied no the police were not violent. He informed me these protesters breaking up public property and looting is a sin. I responded Christ broke up the temple with the money changers and kicked their asses. Now there is a dude I’d like to protest with.

We Wore our unit t shirts and hats and went and protested for 3 hours other day. He informed me I should be getting a check from George. Although I forgot to make a sign my one friend made one. That read I can’t breathe.

I said bro I protested pro bono. He hung up the phone. I guess he will not be hooking up with us. At noon to swim at the quarry I told him we put up a new rope to swing off of.
