PUSH YOUR ENVELOPE FOR PROOF

July 12, 2016 by

Go outside the box and push your envelope. Push it real good. Too often baby boomers take the good advice of slowing down, like take time to smell the roses. It’s good advice because we’re not the proverbial spring chicken anymore, but it doesn’t mean crawl into a hole and die. When is the last […]

EXPERIENCE AUTHORITY FIRST HAND

July 9, 2016 by

The truth is powerful after you experience authority. From your private life to public life, things change. You can’t always express that unique feeling you need to share. If you talk your talk and nobody listens? If you talk your talk and the wrong people listen? If you’re afraid to talk your talk? That one […]

SHARE THE BURDEN, NOT ADD TO IT

July 1, 2016 by

Relationship talk turns into Share The Burden talk. Marriage works if you work at it. Baby boomer marriages get plenty of work. It’s built into the ceremony. To have and to hold, in sickness and health, and talk everything into the ground until it’s covered with dirt then pick it up and shake it out […]

IF MILLENNIALS SUCK, WHO ELSE SUCKS

June 30, 2016 by

A recent poll questions whether millennials suck as bad as everyone else. Too many times you hear about the new ‘biggest ever’ generation in negative terms. You’d think millennials suck worse than any other generation. Baby boomers enjoy dragging the youngsters around by their arm and reminding them they suck. Millennials seem to enjoy the […]

CROSSING THE BOOMER LINE

June 22, 2016 by

You won’t see the boomer line until it’s too late. One day runs to another, week to week, year to year, until you look around and wonder, “What happened?” You made plans, you read books, you knew what you were doing, but it still fell apart and you’re left to pick up the pieces. Alone. […]

MODERN MILITARY GENIUS MISTAKE

June 14, 2016 by

How does military genius work? Start with technology. Military genius understands the role of technology. They’re geniuses for a reason. And they study stuff. Military genius comes in two flavors, weapons and tactics. It doesn’t take a genius to understand the evolution of weapons. Tactics are harder. The knife wins hand to hand fighting. The […]

CHARLES BRONSON GUNS

June 12, 2016 by

A movie star for decades, Charles Bronson doesn’t get much run today. He was a star with guns from Death Wish back to the Dirty Dozen and Magnificent Seven. His best gun move came from Hard Times where he played a bare knuckle fighter collecting his fight purse. He drove out into the country, walked […]

ILLEGAL ORDERS: FOLLOW OR NOT

June 7, 2016 by

How illegal orders were explained in the 1970’s Army. The beginning of the All-Volunteer Army came with something extra. New boots needed to know about ‘illegal orders.’ Call it a special understanding to make the Army a more attractive choice. Not more swearing, yelling, smacking, punching, and general ass-kicking. And no more illegal orders. The […]

D-DAY PRACTICE: DIEPPE, SLAPTON SANDS

June 6, 2016 by

History of D-Day practice neither grand or glorious. The real D-Day turned the tide in World War Two, but the two D-Day practice events left more dead than the real D-Day. Through those deaths communications improved. Coordination improved. And suppressing news improved. No one wanted it out that commanders had screwed up a D-Day practice […]

WHO ARE D-DAY MILLENNIALS

June 5, 2016 by

You’ve seen comments for D-Day Millennials on social media. It’s not good, those comments. They start with remarks on a ‘safe place’ and move to ‘what kind of pussified men are we raising?’ Consider the sources if you can. Unless it’s Sergeant Rock talking, don’t get too concerned. Most of the time it’s men and […]
