Anyone here a fan of “Band of Brothers?” Remember the episode called “Replacements?” Sometimes I feel like one of the veterans in Easy Company trying to train the FNGs (Effing New Guys) in the real ways of war. It’s never really been that much of a problem, but as My Truck Buddy grows, I have [...]
