Here's a flashback of me and my boy @block4lif3 pulling into Souda Bay, Greece. I think we spent about 2 months out to sea. I regret not taking as many pictures as I could during my time in, and when I did, my phones would be ruined by water. Thanks for the pic Block! . . . . . . . . . . . #navy #navylife #deck #decklife #boats #boatswainsmate #crossedanchors #shiplife #greece #soudabay #chania #coveralls #usn #cvn75 #truman #aircraftcarrier #love #throwback #bm3 #flashback (at Chaniá, Greece) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD7DPnGD0Tl/?igshid=18r879airfcx0

Mato Tipila, or better known as the "Devil's Tower"(through a terrible translator), is a sacred place for many tribes. Depending on which tribe, the name can translate to many things such as Bear Lodge (Cheyenne), Bear's Tipi (Arapahoe), or Bear's House (Crow). Nevertheless, it is known as a holy place where tribes worshipped, fasted, and much more.

Crazy Horse Memorial. This guy was a man of the people and for the people. He never signed a treaty for the Americans and never surrendered. He was met with a tragic fate but forever honored as a hero. The Natives refuse to use government funded money and are accomplishing this by means of donations. To donate, please do so by following the link provided below. https://donate.crazyhorsememorial.org/ . . . . . . . . . *Please correct me if I'm wrong* (at Crazy Horse Memorial) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDfpccqDGnb/?igshid=1f4qmevscxwdb

Before it was known as Mount Rushmore, it use to be sacred land belonging to the Lakota tribe. It stood as The Six Grandfather's Mountain before a breach of treaty by the United States. The Natives were forced to relinquish their claim to their lands and faced genocide soon afterward. . . . . . . . . . #sixgrandfathersmountain #mountrushmore #southdakota #southdakotagram #nativeamerican #history #culture #travelphotography #travel (at Mount Rushmore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDfllsQDbDm/?igshid=1oie17h6v9o30

Practice makes perfect! This is a class assignment called the "elevator speech". The elevator speech consists of a 30 second speech that properly introduces you and allows you to showcase your skills to an employer. What would your elevator speech sound like?? . . . . . . . #ecpi #usn #navy #father #business #elevatorspeech #camerashy #nailedit #speech #interview #interviewskills #communication #practice #practicemakesperfect (at Kuna, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCo77d8jyVp/?igshid=1s48aav0t2pxv
