Patrick Stallings

Digging out Christmas tree stuff I found this newspaper from just before I headed off to war for the first time. Interesting time capsule from 7 September 2006.

@LostLT1 @JamesGField @WeGettinItDone @PartTime11A @markmcclellan @MichaelStahlke @Brave_Athos @WeGettinAfterIt @JoeDirtLoggy @CavRTK Not me. I like the idea but not enough BMPs and tanks for me to destroy in that disruption zone.

Who from sharemyPSOPtwitter first shared this like three years ago? Depicts what an ABCT CAV SQD must fight through

The view from the office is awesome. Long days and short nights. But totally awesome.

Doing a “dumb movies with Dad” night with the oldest. Decided on Shaun of the Dead for tonight.

@WeGettinItDone Hahaha. Fair. But you told me about miltwitter and it was apparently a husk of itself in 2020 and now I’m not even sure it is a concept anymore

@DustyStetson95 It says you joined in August 2014 so that’s on you

My feed is filled with everything from straight hateful accounts shitposting to some person who went to a good school arguing with random accounts who think they didn’t go to a good school based on their appearance. This thing keeps resetting to a new level of terrible. 😂

Train hard. Night live fire and maneuver training. Section cross fire in the defense.

Sometimes you wake up super early, knock out some work on the VPN, and realize you just need to lay on the couch for about 15 minutes with the dog before you actually go in for PT.

This is what happens when you can only schedule grooming every 6 weeks and for one of them they only bathe the dog (12 weeks since last hair cut)…

It’s a good day to watch football and see the parents

One day closer to Crew Table VI!

Crew gunnery Table III and it’s getting real. Best job in the Army.

I feel better after napping this afternoon. Dogs are amazing.

Family needed a win this week. Super proud of our First Class Scout.

I have lost many hours (days, weeks, months?) trying to restart my computer to get it to connect to the VPN properly so I can download an LES and email it to myself for something. Bananas how hard the easy things can be…

I have been judged and found wanting

I’m baaaaack

Fort Carson is really nice. The view on this morning’s run. Altitude isn’t as brutal as I expected, but then again it was a long easy run.

On leave. My son just said, “no duh, Mom,” and we both bust out laughing. His reaction was priceless and confused. Oh, there is nothing new under the sun. I haven’t heard someone say “no duh” since I was about that age.

Little PT Test with Crazy Horse this morning. Not great; not awful. Sucked at push-ups and still suck at plank. Need to find another 44 points before I’m going to be content. Always happy, never content.
