The most realistic thing about the movie Independence Day is that a Marine is sleeping with a stripper and staying at her house off base

An old platoon sergeant of mine used to say, “while you’re sitting around playing grab-ass, the enemy is somewhere getting trained up. They’re not resting…why are you?”
I think of my addiction as that enemy. As soon as I drop my pack, that sumbitch is gonna come for me.

I remain authentic to who I am and a large part of the past 4.5 years for me has been my sobriety journey. I think I’ve been an inspiration to many that if I could get sober, anyone can do it...

My kid graduated basic today. I can accept her joining the Army because she’s following in the footsteps of her great- grandmother. Four generations of military excellence, so far. Semper Fi.

I am a United States Marine by trade. My service has been the defining chapter of my life. It is an attack upon me and my fellow leathernecks to attempt erasure of our history. Those who do so are, by definition, the enemy. And, I have been trained to repel the enemy’s assault. That is all.

The #CHS249 crew came out to support one of our own at his art show. Cory Neale is a great local artist…his stuff is hanging on the wall behind us.

Less than a week ago the Eagles sacked Patrick Mahomes six times with just a standard four man rush

My grandmother was born on this day in 1922. She grew up in the Deep South, joined the Army and served with the #SixTripleEight, then moved to Philly where she raised a clan of warriors and taught me all the best things I know. I miss her every day. Love you, Ma Syl. Happy birthday.

Thanks to all the friends and family who reached out to see if we were safe. The plane crashed about 5 miles away from us but we’re all OK. Prayers up for everybody.

My grandmother’s name was Sylvia Benton. She was a member of the legendary Six Triple Eight. She was a phenomenon.
