Last year, Buddy got a trim just before the holidays and came home in a tie. He knew he looked good.

I can easily see this administration attacking us veterans over our disability, relying on the alleged "hangnail" (a la the SNAP/food stamp "welfare queen" stereotype) to cut or remove our monthly payments.
The fact stands that without my VA disability, I can't afford to live in the United States.

The amusing irony? Almost none of these restaurants are near where I live. The closest is McDonald's (one is 30 minutes away, the other is 40 minutes away). Most of these aren't even in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (IHOP, Outback, White Castle, Chick-Fil-A etc.). So I'm doing my part!

I just had to remind a few people on my local news page that President Obama and the Democrats are NOT "100% responsible" for the Affordable Care Act / ACA.
Because, yes, Republicans are now trying to blame the "mess" that is Obamacare on Democrats.

Sure, it's just one meal.But it's a meal. It's outreach. It's a sign of humanity in a selfish administration.

The "Spooks" were just over the fence from us during "A" School.
Turns out, looking over my scores, my DLAB was only 99 and so CTI was out of reach, which would've been my main interest.
Re: the ASVAB? I never advanced beyond Algebra I in school and wasn't deemed "smart enough" for various rates.
