A Ryan McBeth breakdown of who's who in RW propaganda. "End Wokeness" is Jack Posobiec

Also, let me use this opportunity to say, Fuck Jack Posobiec. Twice, with an 80-grit condom

ENDEX. The Field Training Exercise I've been working is done. I'm on my own computer and this isn't classified

So, I can actually share what's going on, unlike back when I got my wrist slapped for sharing stuff from my Gov't laptop.

So, I can talk about what's up, without getting in trouble - like I did sharing Biden's message a few months back.

I've been in Sierra Army Depot for two weeks, and the SPF 70 sunblock was the bare minimum. My face and arms are the color of perfect yeast rolls.

The rest of me? Biscuit dough white, and pretty close to the same consistency.

Not sure if many folks know what it is I do for a living, but I am an exercise observer/controller for USTRANSCOM. I specifically lead the communications team. We look at Signal and Comm. Soldiers and Airmen and grade their performance through organic issues and scenarios we dream up to judge ther proficiency.

Then I write up a report for the Commanders of the units involved giving them a snapshot of the unit's strengths and weaknesses

On this training evolution, the Army and Air Force units we were working with were mostly newbies. Like these people were shiny fresh out of the box new.

The cream of the crop operators are doing real world shit in the Med.

In a way this is nice, since now the commands can't top load the Training Audience with ringers to make themselves look good - So we can actually get an honest look at the proficiency of the units

6 days of cargo ops in the Sierra Nevada high desert is good for the soul and great for the skill level of the Soldiers and Airman assigned to this mission. The difference in performance between day one and ENDEX is remarkable.

This shit right here is why my old ass is still in the field - drinking warm water and breathing diesel smoke and dust.

Of course, after MY 12 hour shift, I get to head to a hotel for a beer, ESPN, and a bed... RHIP

So, if anybody was wondering where I was - I was working
