CQ Brown, a fellow Texas Tech grad, was the Deputy Commander at CENTCOM when I was there. He always struck me as a decent man and an outstanding leader. To see him reduced by the administration to nothing more than the color of his skin is disgusting. We are better than this.

Currently looking for a new gig & for a security position w/ NNSA. At 1:06pm today, I got an email stating that this position had been canceled. But at 3:23pm today, I got an email stating that I was somehow qualified for the now canceled position. Pantex stores 20K surplus plutonium cores BTW

Spending more time on the range…for reasons. 5.56mm at a 100 yards with a 3x magnifier for my little primary arms prism scope. Acceptable if a bit rusty. Can still shoot a pretty tight shot group.

Take it from someone who used to work in the intelligence community, this is so very bad.

Re-upping this: I'm attending a town hall (my first ever politcal town hall btw) tomorrow with Rep. Lloyd Dogget. I plan on being very vocal. Gimme some talking points.

So I registered for a town hall with Rep Lloyd Dogget on Saturday. This will be my very first political town hall ever. I'm going to ask about defending military retirees and disabled veterans. What else should I ask about?
