286 – Operation Giving Back & Toilet Paper Pyramid – Part Four – Wedding Bells??

by Travis Partington | Apr 6, 2022 | Podcast

There are always backstories and sub-plots when you have a big event like this. The big event is Operation Giving Back and Toliet Paper Pyramid
Saturday, April 9th.

Part four is a story about a bet Michelle Baxter has with me. She wants me married off and is
convinced I will find love at the fundraisers on April 9th at the Collierville VFW in Tennessee.
Will Michelle be successful? Or will she come up empty again in the search for love? You will have to
come to the event to find out!

Check out these fundraisers below. Tickets are going fast and there is still time to help.

Operation GivingBack

Is a concert that will benefit the VFW’s Youth Scholarships the goal is to establish
scholarships at the state level that will live perpetually for generations to come.
The concert will have food trucks – drinks and more. The VIP pass will get you into
the Uncle Si dinner on 4/8/2022 and it will also get you into the VIP tent on 4/9/2022.
The backstage pass will get you backstage to talk and interact with the bands.

Operation TP Pyramid
Is a toilet paper drive where we will attempt to collect 45,000 rolls and construct a
pyramid roughly 20′ x 20′ x 20′. All of the toilet paper will then be distributed to facilities
that help those in need across Tennessee such as Alpha Omega. Why toilet paper?
On average toilet paper is $1.00 per roll. By collecting 45,000 rolls we will be able to help facilities
knock a collective $45,000 from their bottom lines. Allowing the facilities to do more for those they help.

136 – Jody 2019

by Travis Partington | Feb 22, 2019 | Podcast

I talked about Jody in 2018 a lot. In the military Jody is the guy who is with your wife or girlfriend while you are deployed. My series about this is to raise awareness about infidelity and the harmful after effects to men and military servicemembers.

One of the statements made to me about this series was I used hearsay and anecdotal evidence to produce these podcasts. That is simply not the case. Every podcast link you can follow below is based on fact and substantiated stories that actually happened. This is important to note. It is easy to chuckle or laugh when you hear about this kind of situation. It is not funny.

When something like this happens in the military, the effects are felt outside the spouse/significant other involved. Dealing with divorce and the family court system can have a negative impact on unit cohesion.

In 2019, I am going to look at more data for how divorce affects the servicemember. Also there are stories that prove the old saying that, “Truth is stranger than fiction.”

The most important thing to remember is that this storm in your life will pass. If you surround yourself with great people, form a good plan, and follow it, you can rebuild yourself. This series is really about living your best life even if Jody is not going away.

If you disagree with anything you are reading, or have a story you want to share, reach out to me and we will talk about your situation.

I will add the episode links so you can get caught up. This is a year long series, so buckle up

Episode 113 – Jodie Part 6: Reverse Jody

by Travis Partington | Sep 29, 2018 | Podcast

Question of the Week

I got asked if I am watching the NFL this year. I said no. I don’t even have cable anymore. In a complete reverse, I do not have a fantasy football team either. I don’t miss it, and I am not sure if NFL football could ever get me back now. I am looking forward to hockey season since the Royals were rebuilding this year.

I do have a friend of mine who is a die hard Redskins fan. He asked me about it and said why don’t you watch the Thanksgiving game and see how you feel. He understands my positions and while he may not agree with it, he respects where I am coming from. I am thinking I will meet him half way. Hail to the Redskins, Hail to the Chief.

The Word

Jody Part 6: Reverse Jody

I wanted to do this part 6 and make the case for a different kind of Jody. What if Jody is a fellow servicemember who has an affair with your wife or husband? What would happen then? How is a situation like this treated in the military? I talked about two stories that demonstrated what can happen.

I talk about Ist Sgt Usher who was labled a “Horny Bastard”. Army Times Story about Horny Ist Sgt . While married he had an affair with a Private First Class under his command. He was outed when he was filmed on a cell phone camera making out in public with this PFC. Both were punished although it is unclear the severity of the censure. His career is effectively over.

Not to be outdone by the Army, the Marine Corps had a similar problem come to light. Corporal Remedios Cruz, one of the first female infantry Marines, was kicked out for fraternization. Task and Purpose Article about Female Marine .

Both servicemembers committed adultery with people who they served with during active service. What is it like for a spouse who is faithful to find something like this out? I can’t imagine, but these stories would suggest that Jody is everywhere.
