CHAZ, WHO I AM AND WHAT I DO!

I am CHAZ!  Charles Jeffrey Cecil and this is my blog site!  I am better known to most of my readers from #Twitter as VetsFinalHonor or my older friends and family on facebook as Jeff Chaz Cecil I want to thank them all for following and supporting my causes whether physically or just emotionally, it means allot that what little I am able to do it is appreciated in some way, and the causes I advocate for are recognized.  

Some of my writings are #socialissues, and some are #veterans / #HomelessVeteran issues.  Because I am a veteran, and because I have been homeless these are issues that I feel strongest about.  Over the years I have come to know numerous veterans and homeless who No person can begin to know what they are dealing with or how they are dealing with it, unless you are there.  Within the homeless population there are so many personal issues that they deal with besides being homeless.  Issues such as PTSD, Being disabled(Waiting on VA or SS Decisions) Sexual Abuse history, Social Anxieties, and just simple Self Shame!  These are only a few of very many issues that plague the #HomelessSociety and its occupants.  These people are your Brothers,Sister,Moms,Dads,Uncles,Aunts,High School Buddies, or just a stranger you see on the corner.  But what most seem to forget is that these are #People.  Flesh and Blood Human Beings who deserve our respect, and our empathy(to sense other people’s emotions, coupled with the ability to imagine what someone else might be thinking or feeling). I want others to see the problem and try in some way to be a prt of the solution.  I am not asking you to take one or ten into your home and take care of them.  But I am asking you to care.

I got off my point!  This is about me and I got sidetracked.  I am a #USArmyVeteran who served 7 years and 9 months. Where I went and what I did is something you will have to ask if you want to know.  I am waiting on disability to make a final decision.  At age 52 I am unable to do much with a spinal injury.  It is not an injury which left me in a wheelchair or assisting devices.  It is however an injury which keeps me in constant pain and discomfort.  I have fought depression now for about 4 years.  What I do online is about the limit of what my life has come to be.  Everything I have done in my life is just a memory for me to sit and ponder, which I do often.  I have worked my ass off all my life, dedicated to whatever task I was given to the point of exhaustion sometimes, but it is in me to never give in, never give up, and damned sure never quit! I do not get out of the house often and I don't do anything physically demanding because I am unable.   It is killing me inside to do this, to live like this.  I feel so useless as a person, and disappointing to myself that I let something like this get me here.  I fight suicidal thoughts, and I grab hold of life through my constant support of my causes.  So, after all this said, my message which I intended to get out is this; Whatever you read that I write, Whatever I Promote as a cause, or whatever I Tweet or post, #PLEASE remember, I don't get paid for ANY of my blogs in any way, nor do I for my tweets or Facebook posts.  I only get the satisfaction that as I sit here all day and night, maybe someone out there will be impelled to help another person because of what little blog I wrote or a Tweet I posted.  Maybe someone saw a homeless person and bought them dinner because I posted a picture and they remembered it!  I guess what I am saying, is that If you are reading this, I have to think that you have read at least one of my other blogs, and that being said, I hope you will do something good for someone today, tomorrow, or any day because of what I wrote.  I don't have money, and very few resources, but I have the ability t write stuff and #BringAwareness!

May God Bless you and yours!  For all you Veterans and Soldiers, Thank you and may Angels guide you safely every minute of every day!

How Is A Sniper A Coward?

This is for #ANYONE who thinks a #Sniper is a Coward, whether they work with or for the Government of the US, be it Law Enforcement or Military. Here are a few facts to remind you otherwise!

First fact! A sniper does not just become a sniper. There are constant and very consistent training and practice standards paced on these individuals. It is a lifestyle unlike any other. It is both physical and psychological requiring the utmost in patience and attention to detail. Their nerves have to be within 1% of the most steady of any other occupation. After the rigorous training and endurance's, then you have an uncommon #HazardOfOccupation.... The #SNIPER during any engagement is the most sought after #TargetEngagement by any enemy. He is most often the only man with a #PriceOnHisHead. The enemy considers them the #MostEffective of enemy tactics because of their ability to engage from “ANY distance (Only limited by mechanics of the weapon and load), and their ability to #EngageWithoutPrejudice.

Now, I am not detailing the training or specifics of any operations, but, I am asking one simple question... “Would you take an occupation which made you the most sought after enemy of any foreign faction”? Would you consider one to be a coward when they have to enter an enemy infested #WarZone, alone in most cases, take out a target or often #MultipleTargets, knowing that your chances of being extracted depend solely on you ability to become/stay invisible?

To #ANYONE who refers to a #SNIPER as Cowards, all I have to say is “If Ignorance is Bliss, you are one #HappySonOfABitch” and have no idea what you are talking about!

To all who serve or have served #HooRaaH to you all! To the dedicated men/women who become #Snipers, I salute you for your #Courage, Commitment and Honor and Thank GOD for your gift which saves so many lives in time of war! #ISALUTEYOUALL

I HAVE ADDED A VIDEO LINK.  THIS IS JUST A PART OF WHAT THEY GO THROUGH IN TRAINING!
