It's dot MIL, you nerds. Not dot ML. businessinsider.com/millions-us-mi…

Yeah, people generally lack decorum. Like the time the US Army saw fit to conduct PT here for a short-lived recruiting campaign highlighting physical fitness as a benefit of service. Or the time they ran through Arlington on the army's birthday.

Pretty tired of getting push notifications from random right wing extremists, Twitter.

Back in the day, there was a silent competition between "handle," "nick," "screenname," and, later, "tag," among others. I'm a little disappointed that "handle" seems to have won some decades later. Never liked it.

The last month, Twitter has so helpfully recommended to me via push notifications a short list of people to block.

A snippet from my VA Post-Separation TAP survey response: I believe TAP to be simply another mandatory event soldiers must endure for the military to provide the DoD coverage to say they met their statutory obligations and that a veteran's failure to adapt is his or hers alone.

I'm gonna regret this run this afternoon, but I'm riding high right now. #garmin #beatyesterday

This is the [BRAND] Memorial Day sales event! [Waving flag] [BRAND] is honored to serve those who serve with our limited time deals on [ITEM1] and [ITEM2]. Or you could drive off in a brand new [ITEM3]. Guy, Mem Day… is for those who died. They're not driving any time soon.

This is the result of a 6-month investigation. I can't believe it! I mean… I can't believe it took that long to gather sufficient evidence, given the DoD's steady budgetary increases with no tangible gains. Why not milk that cash cow of taxpayer money? cbsnews.com/video/price-go…

There's a weird trend that's been around the army for at least 20 years, mostly with enlisted folks. Team, your signature block in email does not have to be "Last name, FirstName." That's a myth and it's just awkward. Just put your first name first.

@Iron_Man_Actual @ChemicalFire Not nearly enough. And this is after validating officers for BC in the first place.

Honestly, I’m glad more commanders are getting publicly relieved across the Army. “I don’t envy those going into BN command. So much scrutiny, now!” Good. It’s the single most important command position in the Army. The Battalion Commander Effect is real.

@LethalityJane The HQDA G3 recently said the same at the recent town hall, so SMA is not alone on the message.

@silvered_tongue A veritable Theseus.

"I am another now and yet the same."

@HeatherTregle Unfortunately, how good you are at something is highly irrelevant to the army institution, who wants warm bodies that fit the mold to fill slots.

@ThantoTV Mine was stumbling across the Bound Bow spell in Fort Amol. Couldn't imagine doing anything else now.

HEY! What's your favorite #Skyrim moment/memory? Mine: The moment I left the cave under Helgen the first time. It straight up took my breath away. GO! #TESV #SkyrimSE #ElderScrolls twitch.tv/thanto

@Heather_at_ACTS Travel… sites? El Morro in Old San Juan, El Yunque, almost any beach, Pinones fod carib food, Santurce and Condado for upscale and museums, snorkeling, bioluminescent bay, Culebra and Vieques. Quite a bit! Travel, itself? Drive *extremely* defensively.

As sometimes happens in the army, they went around today collecting everyone's birthday. They tend to send you a star note or whatever and call it leadership. Anyway, I told them it was January 15th. It's not, but I doubt I'll still be in this job by then, so…

If you're reaffirming your commitment to an ethical code of conduct, surely you won't be bothered by independent oversight to that end. abcnews.go.com/Politics/9-sup…
