This week in American power projection: the map was wrong, the dorms were fine, and the travel card was for official purposes.

Story Roundup

The Colonel May not see it, but I know you're a total Shitbag

The following is an opinion article written by the challenge coin of Col. Nathan Smith.

Oh well look at that. Isn't that nice. My boss just passed me off to you since you did such a good job during that field exercise a couple weeks ago. "Specialist Andrews performed with steadfast excellence and took on additional responsibilities beyond his billet," the colonel told you before handing me over.

Yeah right. I know and you know the truth: You're a total shitbag. Don't even try to display me in your barracks room, I swear.

Sure, you did pretty well during the exercise but the colonel didn't see you when you were drinking underage in the barracks a couple months ago, did he? Or how about when you got wasted and beat up Private First Class Michaels over there?
