CAMP HOVEY, South Korea – In August 2022, units under the 2nd Infantry ROK-US Combined Division took part in a large-scale training exercise, an awe-inspiring sight and feeling as the Rodriguez Live Fire Complex thundered with the sound of artillery, airplanes, and tracked vehicles maneuvering. One aspect of this training that might have gone unnoticed, however, was this was the final time U.S. Army Abrams tanks were taking part in such an event on the peninsula.

 In July 2022, The Army announced the Korea Rotational Force would transition from an armored brigade to a Stryker-based unit giving the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division the unique honor of shooting the final tank round downrange. “This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” said 1st Lt. Jack Lescarbeau, platoon leader, B Company, 4th Battalion, 70th Armor Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team.

Reading this you are likely

HOME

like me with very few options but to 

STREAM MOVIES!

What we are doing is necessary and needed but lets be realistic

THIS UNCERTAINTY IS FUCKING SCARY

Chances are you are

LONELY 

like me with lots and lots of

ANXIETY.

I lost my job this week 

and I can imagine things are not any easier for you.

Here are my top five movie recommendations for

THIS WEEK

starting 

LIGHT

and right now we desperately need

LIGHT!

These comforting films have either teared me up, made me laugh or most importantly made me

SMILE!

If you have any suggestions for a good light-hearted film while we are stuck at home please send them to me.

Here’s my list:

1. WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR

STREAMING ON HBO NOW

When you actually do get out of the house chances are you will see

PEOPLE  ARGUING IN LINE AT THE GROCERY STORE

like me last week when I saw people

ARGUING IN LINE AT THE GROCERY STORE!

What better person to study than Fred Rogers to teach us

a bit about Human Kindness.

I cried each time I’ve watched 

WON’T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR

and chances are you will too.

2. THE APARTMENT

STREAMING ON AMAZON PRIME

This very 

LIGHT

and funny romantic comedy from 1960 is a true gem.  

Jack Lemmon plays Bud Baxter who allows sleazy executives of his company to use his 

APARTMENT

that is until he falls in love with a young and beautiful

SHIRLEY MACLAINE.

If you haven’t seen this comedy classic you are in for a big big treat!

3. SEARCHING FOR SUGARMAN

STREAMING ON NETLIX

In the United States Sixto Rodriguez was

A STRUGGELING MUSICIAN.

In South Africa he was

AS BIG AS THE BEATLES

but the catch is he had no idea he was

AS BIG AS THE BEATLES

and famous in South Africa.

SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN

is the best movie I can think of right now for some

HOPE

and right now we are damn in need of some 

HOPE!

PS.  This is a documentary and the story is true!

4. THE BIG SICK

STREAMING ON AMAZON PRIME

The Big sick will

MAKE YOU LAGUH

and will

MAKE YOU CRY

and can do this all in one sitting.  

These are the ingredients of a great film 

and the Big Sick is 

A GREAT FILM!

5. GROUNDHOG DAY

STREAMING ON NETFLIX

A reminder to watch

GROUNDHOG DAY.

During these uncertain times, this comedy classic is guaranteed to make you 

SMILE
