A redneck moves from the trailerhood to the suburbs for a little patch of dirt to call home and set up an as much as possible self sufficient lifestyle. Some things will go better than planned, others worse. Hopefully, most will at best be somewhere in between.

Send The Sea Bees To Puerto Rico
Watching the news after the hurricane in Puerto Rico I see most of the island still doesn't have electricity. Some piss ant company, I think, out of Montana? got a multi million dollar contract to restore power there and from what I see on the news are doing a less than fantastic job.
My solution is too simple to be put in action. Back in the mid to late 1980's I was in the U.S. Naval Reserves as a "Fighting Sea Bee". Sea Bee is Navy speak for C B or Construction Battalion.
We have hundreds, if not thousands of Sea Bees in the Reserves and/or Navy Guard who want and need real life training.
The Sea Bee motto is, "We build, We fight!"
Instead of spending millions on inept civilian contractors, why not spend our tax dollars training our military men and women to do the jobs we pay them to do? Send the Sea Bees and/or the Army Corps of Engineers to rebuild Puerto Rico's infrastructure? Puerto Rico gets their lives rebuilt faster and our military gets hands on traning?
