This is the highlight / blooper reel for the 1st Sustainment Command (Theater) [counter-intuitively shortened '1st TSC'.] This is where I have worked for 4 years. We just said goodbye to Maj. Gen.

Earlier this week, I highlighted an incredibly easy way to send a care package to a deployed military member, completely free of charge.

Spoiler: I don’t hate it…? Fred English is a super-troll who goes out of his way to harass foxhole atheists. He found me on Facebook and has been saying dumb things to me ever since. Like this: “why dont you get out? if you dont like what the army does you damn sure joined and …
