A (formerly) Far East located web site devoted to The Resistance, discussion of all things political, travel, women, golf, women,adventure, and did I mention women?
It’s Thursday again, and time to post one of my older posts – this one from 5 years ago. What prompted it was reading this article on another forum. I don’t think the root logic has changed. The military, by definition, cannot be a “family friendly employer.” Enjoy. Well, it’s

I took most of this past week off, primarily because I was not very motivated, and that lack of motivation will continue into the New Year. Of that I am quite confident. The Christmas holiday was pretty much as I expected with the S.O. doing her best to go through
Continue readingThe news was pretty well saturated over the last couple of weeks. What with Charlottesville, the firing ( well-deserved) of Steve Bannon, the collision of USS John McCain and President Trumps incredibly tone-deaf responses to all of those happenings, you may not have had a chance to notice this little tidbit
