Embarking on transitioning from the military, the essence of reality has become raw and unapologetically honest. Challenges accompany this new chapter of life, but there is also beauty and appreciation for the excitement it brings. The freedom to choose has become a canvas for self-discovery and empowerment. Embracing the unfiltered truth is not just a choice but a necessity, guiding the path with resilience and authenticity while navigating civilian life. Join me in embracing reality and the freedom to choose. #MilitaryTransition #EmbraceReality #AuthenticJourney #FreedomToChoose Your thoughts?

I finally copied the last name on someone’s handwritten list of Loyalty Oath signers at the American Antiquarian Society into my own notebooks. Intend to do data analysis with computer but I have some preliminary conclusions and new questions. I have identified 3 other Black men besides Moses Sash as participants Are there others? What about Native Americans? How many 1782 militiamen who stopped a protest similar to the Shays’s Rebellion of 1787 joined the rebel side in 1787? I have identified 2 for certain and 2 possibles. There were less than 10 Continental Army war veterans in the 1782 militia units. How many Rdbellion participants were war vetdrans? And many other questions

Good morning my lovelies. It’s Throat Punch Thursday. Time to take the day on like a champ. If you want to be strong and successful we have to learn to fight alone. Be fearless in your conviction for what ever it is in life you want to succeed at. Fear can often stand in our way. We have to not back down, face it head on and get after it. Fearless is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again,even though every time you've tried before you've lost. Grab the day by the throat and get to swinging at all the negativity thrown your way. You can do it. Daily reminder…. We can succeed at anything if we believe it. It really depends on how much you want something. Having the power to dig deep to fight for what you want whether in our personal life or business. No one can make things happen but you. You have the power you just got to be strong to push back against fear. In the words of Bruce Lee, “He who wants to succeed should learn how to fight, to strive and to suffer. You can acquire a lot in life, if you are prepared to give up a lot to get it.” Life can try to beat you but you just can’t beat a person that won’t give up. So, stay in the good fight. You got this. Now let’s get to it and have a knock out day!! To all my dear friends in Law Enforcement, EMS, FF, Military and Security, stay safe, Watch your SIX and go home safe to you loved ones. Much love and respect to you all always!! Love your #irishangel www.irishangel.org #lawenforcement #ems #marines #military #firefighters #firstresponders

How to become a Noble When my old boss and great friend an Army CW5 was retiring from the military after 40 years I bought a 12” x 12” plot of land making him a Lord. He now refers to himself as Lord K. I own the lot next to him and we joke about vacations on our little slice of land. If you have held a title like sergeant, police officer, special agent, major or another rank throughout your career and desire to continue the tradition of bearing an esteemed title, perhaps it is time to consider becoming a Lord or Lady or maybe even a Baron or Baroness. Embracing a title of nobility cannot only add a touch of distinction to your identity but also open doors to new opportunities and social circles. Honestly, it’s not likely so don’t hold your breath. These titles carry with them a sense of nobility and honor, reflecting a long-standing tradition of respect and admiration. It’s also fun to give as a gift to your retiring friends. Transitioning to such a prestigious title can be a fulfilling experience, symbolizing a new chapter in your personal and professional journey. Are you ready for nobility? Can you handle the epic responsibilities? Becoming a Lord or Lady is as easy as an internet search, and handing over a few dollars. #leadership #experience #socialcircles #police #lawenforcement #executiveprotection #firefighter #military

One of the board members of POVAT shared awhile back that if it can happen to Will Markham, it can happen to any Veteran. Learn what POVAT is doing to help referred Veterans get what they have earned and deserve. A 7 minute questionnaire by a 3rd party concluded he was healed and caused a spiral of events in Will's life. Learn how they fought back and won! No high fives as a celebratory win but instead the Founders created POVAT to help Brothers and Sisters who wore the uniform. Consider POVAT during May as it is Mental Health Awareness month and/or during Armed Forces day (May 18th). Why do we have Armed Forces Day? So folks like me (civilians) and you can show your support for Active, Cadets and Veterans. #armedforcesday #civilianshelpingveterans #mentalhealth Why help? High probability your help will help in saving a life and at the end of day because it is the right thing to do!
