Wed, 13 Sep 2023 10:00:34 +0000

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 10:00:26 +0000

Platoon Daddy Bacon never disappoints. If you can’t tell, he is a little under the weather when recording this episode. Utilizing his mastery editing skills and a little Sudafed Duke you can barley tell. C’Gar and Bacon had a hell of a time trying to find a title for this majestic milestone but ultimately decide to press the easy button. Episode 60 is more about burnout and the frustration of being the one that everyone depends on whether they realize it or not. At some point, all you can do is walk your vast field where you grow your prized crop, F*cks. When you discover that your field is now barren your quickly realize you have none to give.

Episode 59: Britain’s Boobies

Wed, 28 Sep 2022 10:00:38 +0000

Don’t think the Sergeants are actually releasing an episode all about Britain’s Boobies. This title actually comes from Bacon Dyslexia, your’e welcome Antonio Sticks!

It’s been a busy summer for Bacon and C’Gar! In fact, the last two months worth of episodes where recorded more than two months ago. Finally!, in Episode 55 the Sergeants get back to the microphones to start recording.

What does ketchup have to do with this episode? Maybe one of the Sergeants is like a tomato and the other like vinegar. When you mix them together it creates a condiment to make your meal, or this show a little better. You can be the judge of that!

Wed, 13 Apr 2022 10:00:49 +0000

We’ve been hearing a lot of absolutely horrible stories about Stolen Valor lately, so we decided to take a crack at it ourselves. We also cover some of the benefits that Soldiers may receive.

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 11:00:49 +0000

Join Sergeants C’Gar and Bacon as they discuss the old term, “One Weekend a Month, Two Weeks a Year”.

The Sergeants are back for the first episode of 202TOO. This time it’s all about the things that they find frustrating and annoying wrapped up into the first of many.

Topics include unnecessary meetings, different media outlets, last minute requirements, evaluation rating schemes and a few more. Oh yeah!

Episode 35: Stay Wild Barracks Child

Wed, 27 Oct 2021 10:00:12 +0000

Sergeants Bacon and C’Gar reflect on how a life in the military also has an impact on their civilian life. Over the last 20 plus years members of the military have spent a tremendous amount of time not only wearing the uniform and conducting training but also serving in combat zones. Either scenario awards a Soldier the ability to create a bond with other Soldiers, also known as brothers and sisters in arms. The connection that is established between those who serve is similar to that of a family. When a single Soldier is lost, it effects us all.

Episode 19: Word Vomit and Defecation

Wed, 17 Mar 2021 10:00:07 +0000

There’s only one thing to do when you hear the F-Bomb, drop a deuce and keep moving. As usual Sergeants Bacon and C’Gar catch up before talking about who Soldiers are. For the most part, Soldiers are trained to live outside of society but forced to live within it. Foul language when not appropriate quickly escalates to our favorite past time, talking about sh!t. Is it Britney? Is it Bacon? With a shirt like that we may never know.

Sergeant Bacon found a suitable Kazoo replacement until he finds something more permanent. This episode starts with a few new bars! #SorryNotSorry

Episode 06: What About Anything: MRE’s

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 05:00:21 +0000

Where is episode 3B? FOB Cigar has been devastated by by natural disaster. Editing has been moved to priority level 2 resulting in a missed time hack.

Interim content has been created called “What About Anything”, a single 30 minute(ish) episode covering a topic or two that can be used as last minute ammunition at any time. This week; Meals Ready to Eat (MRE).
