My Birthday Box and BBQ

The MND-S Public Affairs shop had a BBQ on July 4th. It was a real nice time. We smoked cigars, drank Coors NonAlcoholic Beer, and put some precooked burgers on the grill. We all hung out together for about three hours and didn't talk that much shop. It was a ...

The Red Bull Report

I anchored week 6 of the Red Bull Report. It's the most complicated two-minute newscast I've ever seen in my life. The Sorority Soldier is the lead editor on the project and does a pretty good job of getting it together every week. The 34th ID brought ...

Happy 4th of July

I taped a couple of Shoutouts for the wife and my family in OKC. I hope you enjoy the unedited version. It could be on ESPN this weekend. Apparently they asked for it by name. SSG Kristen King, SSG Brian Raley and myself taped our own 4th of ...

My Red Bull Bio

I was asked to write a bio about myself for the MND-S Public Affairs webpage at theredbulls.org. What I wrote didn't make the cut. Now this is my bio. It doesn't really matter what I have up as my bio on the site because none of my ...

My Iraqi June 30th

I received an email this morning from my dad. He wants to know if it was true that the Iraqi's are celebrating in the streets over the US forces pulling out of the cities. I have to tell him that I have no idea if those news reports are true ...

NCO Induction Ceremony

The NCO Induction Ceremony is a relatively new tradition that still isn't practiced everywhere. The idea is to take soldiers who have been promoted to Sergeant and give their new rank some meaning. Sergeant is supposed to be when a soldier transitions into a leader. It's supposed ...

$109 Flip-Flops

The Sorority Soldier bought a pair of flip-flops for $109. Her defense is she's going to wear them while walking around London and France for 14 days. It's a quasi-legit reason because London involves a lot of walking. However, I feel she violated two cardinal rules of ...

Let’s have a Parade

Now that I'm back in Basra, I can work on putting some news packages together. The 172nd Infantry Brigade Blackhawks got creative with their Army Birthday celebration. They decided to have a parade. Going into cover the event, I thought it was going to be a stupid waste of time. For ...

Happy 234th Birthday Army!

Last year I celebrated the 233rd Army Birthday by attending the official Army Ball in Washington by being one of 6 E4s who weren't working the event. The Army's 234th Birthday was yesterday and it was pretty eventful for me. I covered two stories involving the unit I'm supporting here ...
