The US Navy impresses Freelance BAMF...

The United States Navy did something that IMPRESSES ME. That is right.

Mark those calendars....its a revolution bitches.

The men and women of VAW-113 (The "Black Eagles") are famous for making music videos on their 6 month deployments to various corners of the world.

Check this one out....it impressed me...




Hats off to these guys. We have to keep our sanity somehow when we are deployed.

Keep up the good work fellas....stay safe.

Out here,

The BAMF

Its been awhile...

Hey hey hey people. Your friendly neighborhood BAMF here.

Sorry its been awhile. Work has been STUPID-busy (google it). And of course...grad school is eating my soul.

Just a few updates...

Work: The Army. Its the Army people...nothing makes sense. And I have to get ready for a HUGE briefing this weekend for a 4-star...yes, 4-star general. Everyone keeps asking my team..."hey...are you guys ready?" Thats re-fucking-diculous. That is like trying to get ready to be kicked in the balls.

School: On the UPside...Grad school is rough, but then again..its supposed to be. I just navigate my way through the stupid sorostitute comments and general liberal douchbaggery.
Its a grand ol' time. Oh, and I got to see Colin Powell (GEN, USA Ret) speak last week. AMAZING. Why can't HE run for President? (sigh...)

Watch yourselves people. My RSP's made their own patch...hahaha.


More pictures of the "Arrrrrrmy Training" to come.

9/11

Hey people.

The BAMF does not need to remind you about today. If you don't know what today is...well...time to venture out of your cave mmmk?

I'm not going to post a bunch of 9/11 stuff....I think there is enough of it out there...but I will do one thing for you guys today.

I'll reassure you.

There are still people in this world that want to hurt YOU. Yeah...you. There are plenty of terrorist groups, not just Al Qaeda (like Hamas) that would love to do something worse than the attacks of 9/11/01.

But people...don't lose any sleep over it.

There are plenty of people that stand ready to take the fight to the enemy. Whoever they may be...wherever they may be.

Alot of you guys know what I do in the Army.

But this video (BIG props to Zach for this one) is EXACTLY why Rangers do what they do....

The Ranger Creed.






That creed is not just something we memorize...or just something we say. We live by it.

So today, do me a favor...hug your kids. Go to a movie. Go out to dinner. Do whatever it is you do.

But above all...sleep well America. We're out here.

Fred Thompson makes me smile.

People,
I don't know if any of you are fellow Republicans...but in case someone out there is....

DID YOU SEE FRED THOMPSON? Holy Shit.

Hands down best speech of the 2008 Election (by either party)


Fred, thank you for making me proud to be from your state...

Happy Labor Day

Greetings from the Mississippi Emergency Operations Center. (woot)

Havin a grand ol' time waiting for Gustav to hit.



Hope everyone is doing ok.


And I dont care HOW many times I've seen this....never gets old....






Have a great Labor Day people!



Go to hell Ole Miss,

The BAMF

LET THE CHAOS BEGIN!!!!!!

Ok...Hurricane Gustav is on his way towards the south...

And me....oh I am PISSED.

The Mississippi Army National Guard has always had its shit together. I've served with them before and we were mobilized DAYS BEFORE Katrina made landfall. We were prepared. We were ready. We evacuated people BEFORE it hit. Mississippi "had its shit in one sack" so to speak. Yeah, bet you never thought you'd hear that.

Now, those retards in Louisiana? Ha. MORONS.
The disaster that was New Orleans was, sorry to say it, completely and totally their own fault.
They have a BRIGADE (thats 5,000+ soldiers people) at their disposal...and their Govenor (at the time) told them to "take care of their own families".

Well, we all know what happened next.

Mississippi actually took the brunt of the storm. The destruction was FAR, FAR worse in Mississippi (I know people...I actually was IN Mississippi AND New Orleans)...

But New Orleans, being below sea-level...had a problem. Levee's broke and the water, which receeded after the storm in "above-sea-level Mississippi"...STAYED. Hince the chaos.

Now, fast-forward to 2008. Aparently we all have "Hurricane Fever" down here...

THIS damn hurricane...is still busy jacking up the detainees in CUBA. And I am already standing here on the Mississippi coast. In fear "battle-rattle"...body-armor...rifle...tons and tons of supplies...waiting. And waiting. And waiting.

So if anyone is wondering "Hey...whats the BAMF up to this weekend?"

Oh, I'll tell you. I'm staring at the ocean. Waiting on Gustav...who will be here...NEXT FREAKING WEEK... (if it even hits Mississippi at all) It could hit Louisiana (yay?) or even Texas...



UPDATE******

They just informed us that ol' Gustav is already a CAT 3. Thats bad. It will BE a CAT 5 sometime in its lifetime. Wether it HITS LAND as a CAT 5? Who knows.

So, if you are reading this and you live on the Gulf Coast...or have friends that live down there...call them...and tell them to leave.

Provided I personally survive this thing...that would just be a few less people to pull to safety.


STAY TUNED PEOPLE! (This could be FUN!)

Hooray for ME!

Hey Hey Hey people!





Well, despite the fact that it has rained for 8....yes EIGHT...days now...I'm bouncing off the walls.





I, through my various "connections" just aquired a $600.00 ticket to a leadership "summit" here at Missisippi State...that has General Colin Powell (USA Ret) as the keynote speaker.








wooooooo.








=D

LOVE IT.
