Hey brothers [View all]

Awoke this morning around 0200 could not get back sleep. Stopped trying to fight going back to sleep slipped out bed as not awake the wife or at times I call her first sgt when she is in mood. Example when I do not make bed after last one up at times she will say you were 3 years army infantry. Did you not ever make your bed then I replied no I'd just roll up my poncho liner stick it my ruck dear . Anyway got up brushed teeth rolled into planet fitness and met a retired LTC CAV TROOPER I jokingly said Garry Owen to him. He commented on my t shirt I had on it is one I bought on line has EIB EXPERT INFANTRY BADGE I told him I served 84 to 87 and my platoon sgt pushed us go to EIB program. On treadmill we started talking place was empty we talked trump. The retired lite colonel is very anti trump so goes to show to all vets there are officers who are smart.
