Yes, PETTY OFFICER 2ND CLASS CARLTON knows how to do the Carlton! Carlton opened up on being equally grateful for her service while talking about the problematic toxic military culture. Carlton spoke about being sexually assaulted, not reporting it, and how she blamed herself at first. She spoke about being pregnant during her transition out of the military which lead to self-isolation and caused life to go dark for a while. while pulling herself out of the darkness Carlton started the group Millennium Veteran and VetChat, which is live on Instagram every Sunday!

The end of the year is right around the corner and if you guessed there would not be much movie news, you would be mostly correct. Still, there was some surprising news regarding deceptive trailers and the legal recourse audiences now have. We also show off our ignorance of the Insidious franchise and talk Barbie.

Last week, cinema lost one of its most creative voices in Angelo Badalamenti. We wanted to remember him by covering one of the many films he scored. Unfortunately, we picked 2005's Dark Water. The music is not bad, but is not a good example of Badalamenti's talent.

The movie stars Jennifer Connelly and has John C. Reilly and Tim Roth. It will not come as a surprise to anyone that the acting is top notch. As for the actual plot? We talk about missed opportunities, a busy story in which nothing really seems to happen, and try to figure out what exactly dark water is.

Last week, we reviewed a movie that Regina felt did not have a Christmas feel to it. This week, we cover a film that not only has the word Christmas in the title -twice! - there is also a killer robotic Santa Claus. As awesome as that is, it also includes some of the most obnoxious characters of the year. Was the yuletide violence enough to overcome its annoying protagonists?

Not only does the end of December have some new releases, it has some of the most interesting ones of the year!

Chad is from a small town and was raised in a family of police officers. He shares his story of how he found peace of mind with his PTSD after chatting with his pastor. Unlike his experience in the military, he wasn’t able to find an opportunity to detach or disconnect from the role of a police officer. While out with family or friends he would see criminals he had dealt with everywhere.

Please share and like on IG, FB, Youtube and Twitter. I am always looking for veterans or first responders who have battled PTSD. Additionally if you support,  provide services for these groups, or have extensive knowledge of benefits available for these groups please reach out. I would love to have a chat and share that knowledge with the community.

How do you recognize Memorial Day? Did you grow up with a Memorial Day tradition? For me Memorial Day is about the physical loss of life and the mental loss those families are faced with.

Little Rock teacher Martha Cothren uses some unorthodox teaching methods in her social studies classroom at Joe T. Robinson High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. But she gets her message across.

On the first day of school in September 2005, with permission of the school superintendent, the principal, and the building supervisor, she had all of the desks taken out of the classroom. 

When the kids walked in for first period, there were no desks. They looked around and asked, "Where are our desks?"

The teacher said, "You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn them."

They thought, "Well, maybe it's our grades."

"No," she said.

"Maybe it's our behavior?"

She told them, "No, it's not even your behavior."

And so they came and went in the first period. Still no desks in the classroom. Second period, same thing. Third period, same. 

By early afternoon television news crews had gathered in the class to find out about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of the classroom. The last period of the day, the instructor gathered her class.

They were sitting on the floor around the sides of the room. She said, "Throughout the day no one has really understood how you earn the desks that sit in this classroom ordinarily. Now I'm going to show you how and why you have the right to sit in this class."

She went over to the door of her classroom and opened it, and as she did 27 U.S. veterans, wearing their uniforms, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. 

They placed those school desks in rows, and then they stood along the wall. By the time they had finished placing the desks, those kids, perhaps for the first time in their lives, understood how they got the right to sit at those desks. FREEDOM!

Their teacher said, "You don't have to earn those desks. These guys did it for you. They put them out there for you, but it's up to you to sit here responsibly, to learn, to be good students and good citizens, because they paid a price for you to have that desk. Don't ever forget it."

The e-mail was drawn from former Arkansas Governor (and Republican Presidential hopeful) Mike Huckabee's 2 March 2007 address to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, DC. 

Also included in Governor Huckabee's remarks, but not in the e-mail:

"My friend, I think sometimes we forget that the freedoms that we have are freedoms not because of celebrities. The freedoms are because of ordinary people who did extraordinary things, who loved this country more than life itself, and who not only earned a school desk for a kid at the Robinson High School in Little Rock, but who earned a seat for you and me to enjoy this great land we call home, this wonderful nation that we better love enough to protect and preserve with the kind of conservative, solid values and principles that made us a great nation.

"We live in the Land of the Free because of the brave."
