Thank You For My Service by Mat Best

Thank You For My Service by Mat Best is one of the better military memoirs I've read. He's a badass, I guess... I think he would've been cooler as a Marine, though. I'm not biased. As military adjacent, I like reading up on military nonfiction/memoirs, but as a critic, I'm wary because I've read some racist bullshit masquerading as a war memoir. I was surprised be this one and kept giggling by Best's turn of phrase.

So Long, Jacksonville

So Long, Jacksonville! I flew in for the first time EXACTLY five years ago today. I'm flying in for, likely, the last time. I was not immediately smitten, but I've grown to love it.
