Me and Ray

Ray and me

So, TSO, Blckfive and me are in DC for the Medal of Honor ceremony for Army Sgt. Kyle J. White tomorrow afternoon. There was a reception tonight hosted by Sergeant Major of the Army Ray Chandler. Somehow I was egged into taking a selfie with the CSA, you know because I’m such a fan. So I cornered him at the bar. So you see, I’m working hard here. We’ll be back with more tomorrow.

    quite the honor to be able to go to that Ceremony today.
    If you have a chance, give that Hero Sgt. Kyle all of our best! Airborne!

    I know lots of people who are “nice guys” that I wouldn’t trust to feed my fish, let alone make decisions that effect the lives of over a million Soldiers…

    You look surprised Jonn. Where was his hand when the picture was snapped? By the way since you talked with Chandler, that makes it a news covering, tax deductible business trip right? Nice tie though. Kinda gives TAH the “pro” look.

      So Sergeant Major Chandler is Dr Jelly Finger and Jonn is Fletch as Mr Babar?!?!

    “Nice tie though. Kinda gives TAH the β€œpro” look.”
    Plus, it does a nice job of hiding that neck tattoo.

    1. Sparks

      Jonn…with a neck tattoo??? Say it ain’t so!

      1. Green Thumb

        Word has it that he also has a full back “scene”.

    Who’s the hot guy in the tie?

    1. Sparks

      Ex-PH2 It could have been me…20 years ago! But when I look in the mirror, the last thing I say when I walk away is…”still got it!”.

      1. David

        so do I…. except “it” now refers to that shitload of extra me that somehow appeared over the years.

        1. Sparks

          David…you too! Who knew I wasn’t the only one with more of me than there use to be?

    2. Ex-PH2

      Well, gentlemen, we must all remember that the passage of time may bring physical changes, but it also brings wisdom (to most of us).

      1. Sparks

        Ex-PH2 Thank you. I can only hope it is so. I am so often lacking in the wisdom department.

    Burn that suit, CSA Chandler is a traitor to the enlisted force and an Obama lapdog. He does exactly what his handlers/masters tell him to. The enlisted force of the army does not need a “nice guy.” They need someone that will go against the prevailing political winds and be an advocate for them. Chandler is not that man.

    1. Devtun

      Ugh…Ray Chandler isn’t the CSA. The service SEAs report directly to the service chief…there ain’t no boat rocking going on…your either lockstep w/ the service chief/service secretary or your out of there.
