Five Guys Burgers & Fries

Posted November 8, 2012 by Cpl. Aaron Diamant

The other day, I had the pleasure of visiting Five Guys for lunch. I went in a little after 1 p.m., so I pretty much had the place to myself, which was nice. The burgers are made to order while you watch, with your choice of myriad toppings and condiments. There are no strangely-named or…

Book Review: The Child Buyer

Posted May 17, 2012 by Lance Cpl. Sean Dennison

“There is real danger in the acceptance of the word of an authority without questioning it, because the acceptance may blind us to proof of a more accurate statement.”  -Barry Rudd I recommend this book not only for the unique way it’s written— the story is told through only court transcripts —but also for the ideas…

Chaplain’s Corner: Mystery & Confusion

Posted July 26, 2012 by Lt. Cmdr. Timothy Power

I recently visited the Grand Canyon’s North Rim, and I saw mystery as I looked over the rim down into the immense, eroded and multicolored scenery before me. I am fond of the writings of John Muir, and when he described such places as the Grand Canyon he wrote that it is emotionally healthy to…

Chaplain’s Corner: “Seasons of Preparation”

Posted March 29, 2012 by Lt. Greg Woodard

During a time of reflection earlier this week, I was listening to some music. The artist happened to be beginning her career when I first moved to Minnesota after spending several years on active duty in the Marine Corps. I remember those early years in Minnesota as strangely formative and very difficult. I encountered this…

Book Review: Soldier Dogs

Posted June 14, 2012 by Cpl. Aaron Diamant

‘Soldier Dogs, The untold story of America’s canine heroes,’ by Maria Goodavage, can almost be summed up in the title. People Magazine called it, “A moving portrait of the loyal, courageous, furry warriors who truly are enlisted man’s best…

Textual Assault

Posted August 9, 2012 by Cpl. Sean Dennison

Texting is supposed to be an instantaneous method of communication through a mix of actual words, abbreviations and emoticons meant for quick transmission-response protocol. It can also delay and outright ruin previously made plans.  I’m guilty as anyone of using my thumbs instead of my voice to talk to people, thereby turning what could’ve been…

You fight for it, make your vote count

Posted October 11, 2012 by Cpl. Jolene Bopp

Let’s face the facts, most politician’s do not care about young voters. Why should they, we obviously don’t care about the future of America. According to Census Current Population Survey, only half of people ages 18-24 vote. By these numbers, we are saying we do not care about which way our country goes. Let’s show…

Chaplain’s Corner: “Incidents, Accidents, and Providence”

Posted April 26, 2012 by Lt. Jason Arant

Sometimes the BEST thing that can happen is for your plans to fall through! James Whistler painted a portrait of his mother that is quite possibly the most recognized painting in the world. Whistler had hired a model to stand in this room for the painting but when the woman failed to show up he…

Chaplain’s Corner: “Hard Times”

Posted July 12, 2012 by Lt. Greg Woodard

In the Christian scriptures, the psalmist writes that the right living person is “like a tree planted by streams of water that yields fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, who consistently prospers.” But a few psalms later we read: “My bones are in agony. My soul is in anguish. How long, O Lord,…
