Alright guys, so I'm back. On September 19th through Sept. 20th Hurricane Maria Cat. 4/5 hit me and my island of Puerto Rico. I'm sure you have seen the news, the island is devastated.
I am so hurt by the things I have experienced and seen the last week that I don't even know what to say. I'll have a video in the coming days on what I saw and what life is like in Puerto Rico.
I flew in last night with my family to Virginia to stay with my Uncle because right now me and my dad are in-between jobs and can't apply without power. Unfortunately, I won't be on the island to help rebuild it for at least a couple of weeks. But I promise you, Puerto Rico will not be defeated.
P.S. I haven't had power or telephone signal for the past week, so looking at my phone last night and seeing that FSU lost brought some much needed happiness to my life. I'm about to watch this Miami vs Toledo game. Can't believe we were losing at halftime and gave up so many points, but glad we won. Now lets beat Duke tomorrow!!
One week later and now Trump orders aid to PR. Yet for one week he has made a hundred tweets about the NFL. Just shows you where his priorities are.

As Lester Burnham mentioned, he is waiting to catch a plane ride to help, like a lot of the military is doing...The same military insulted by NFL millionaires sitting on their a$$es during the anthem...But I digress.
Ever run an Air Mobility Control Center? Military Sealift Command Port Operations Center? You do realize that its 1000 miles from Miami to San Juan, right? Everything heavy has to come via slow ships (they waivered the Jones Act to get more ships) and aircraft can't hold alot (the largest airlifters, C-5s Galaxys, are in an upgrade cycle and have reduced availability) and can only be unloaded by skilled personnel...If you can get them to the island. I have worked Hurricane, earthquake and other natural disaster relief and godspeed to my brother and sisters in arms racing to get help to our fellow Americans on Puerto Rico.
Let me guess, your experience with logistical movements is bringing home a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk from the store?
