Even without the Woke Charlie Foxtrot it’s not a good time to enlist. I joined in 1972 and every promotion I ever got right up through E8 I was competing with Combat Veterans, appearing before boards sat on by Combat Vets. You have to really work to beat out peers with Combat experience. As soon as I returned from Desert Storm I was selected to attend the Sgt Major Academy.
Our first, and only, credit card for nine years was an American Express card. When we did get other cards we were in the habit of paying the balance every month.
I haven’t paid a penny of interest since we paid our house off years ago.
I open carried in 22 of 23 states (FL being the only one prohibiting it) last year on an 11,000 mile solo motorcycle trip. Some states such as WI and MI people looked at me like I had 3 heads. Had 3 people, including one LEO, thank me for carrying. My FN five seven got lots of attention from other Open Carry folks.
When the Clinton White House was shot up in the early 90’s I was away at one of my uncles epic Halloween parties. When I got home my answering machine was full from friends and family wondering if it was me.
