Michael and I share fun stories from out on the route. We need a break from all the campaigning, and you probably do, too.

The campaign is in full swing, and momentum is building for the good guys.

The Goodest Oldest Boy sent a letter to the retirees of our branch. To call it misleading is to be generous. Michael and I respond to his letter, and we elaborate of his claim that we "have no plans to make our Branch better."

Michael and I talk about the different procedures and policies that exist at installations and stations around the country, and why answering questions from the mailbag might not be as easy as we originally thought. But we still do it, because we're ... more

  • Excellent addendum to OJI

    As an OJI, my biggest frustration is when my newly released PTF trainees refuse or resist calling me (or any other OJI) with questions.

  • Garbage
