FRIDAY EPISODE and we managed to mostly stay on track. ROUND 1: A British officer in World War 2 was forgetful as hell when crossing back into friendly territory. To make sure his fellow soldiers recognized him, he used an item that would leave SSgt Me triggered AF and maybe a little trigger happy ROUND 2: (robot voice) ‘Hello, it is me, your VA hospital pharmacist, and I am a ro-bot. If I am functioning correctly today you will get your pills.’ Yep! The VA is using what Kate is calling ‘pill robots’ now. ROUND 3: Shiver me timbers!

Round 2: Even though we’ve done 300 episodes, there’s some things we were supposed to do but never did. Interesting enough, and not just for the purpose of a transition, we found a tweet thread from Military folks who talked about training they were supposed to complete but they skated out of it like longtime stoolie Michelle Kwan. Round 3: For the first time in Zero Blog Thirty history, we are gonna head over to Slovenia to check out some news that would make even the most senior of Lance Corporals happy.

Round 5: Danny Trejo joins the show which might not make sense but it totally makes sense. He’s feeding tons of unhomed veterans and he’s basically like every GySgt I’ve ever had. Looks rough and tough but is a big ole teddy bear despite the tattoos and reputation that proceeds him. Round 6: Over the last 300 episodes, we’ve changed since the beginning.
