SPIRITUAL MINDED MILITARY IOWA ARMY NATIONAL GUARD: THE SOBRIETY PROTOCOL—WHY THE ENEMY ATTACKED CAMP DODGE

 

You were trained at Camp Dodge. You are familiar with the landscape. You are familiar with the weapon systems. You are acquainted with the method of discovering a physical enemy and neutralizing the danger using the same procedure, and so on.

Another foe there is. He is not dressed in uniform. He carries no rifle. He is holding a bottle. And he has been within your lines of defense for years.

You do not refer to it as an attack. You refer to it as unwinding. You name it, only a few out with the boys. You refer to it as taking charge of your own business. The enemy refers to it as occupation. And he has been taking over your free time, your love life, your sleep, and your spiritual advantage—and you gave him the keys.

This is the Sobriety Protocol. No treatment program. No 12-step meeting. A strategic order of recapturing the land that the enemy has snatched away, one glass at a time.

"Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." — 1 Peter 5:8

THE AMBUSH YOU DID NOT SEE COMING

You went home on drill weekend. You returned after being deployed. You returned home after another week of living a civilian life and fulfilling a military duty.

The uniform had been put in the duffel. The bottle came out.

It was a reward, you said to yourself. You said it was a release of stress. You said that you could quit any time you wanted. But the enemy knew better. He had known that had he been able to induce you to exchange your vigilance with a buzz, he could have brought you down the wall without drawing a single shot.

He does not require that you die. He only wants you to be too foggy, too tired, and too compromised to fight. Monday morning can be done by a soldier with a hangover. However, a hangover soldier is not on watch at 0300. A hangover soldier is not praying with his family. A hungover soldier is a hole in the line.

The enemy took advantage of the gap. That ends now.

WHAT THE ENEMY DOES NOT WANT YOU TO KNOW

The enemy has told thee three lies. Whenever you picked the bottle, he told them. Learn them. Counter them.

Lie One: "This is the way you identify with your unit.

The enemy informed you that Bond needs a beer. It takes a shot glass to make that friendship work. That you cannot belong to the tribe without the practice of the ritual.

Counter: The Remnant not only connects itself by mission but also not by intoxication. Shared purpose is the strongest unit cohesion, not shared hangovers. Your fighting friend must have you kept straight.

Lie Two: You have deserved this. You have gone through enough.

The enemy adores using your weariness as a weapon. He informs you that you have sacrificed, and thus you have the right to self-medicate. He positions the drink in a form of reward and not retreat.

Counter: You did not go to Camp Dodge to get back home and take away your advantage. You were not there to be a victim of your own idle hours. Your sacrifice does not bear the fruit of a substance that stupifies you. 

Lie Three: no one will know; it will be under control.

This is a lie that is most popular among the enemy. He isolates you. He says your drinking is an affair and can be kept under control and is no one's business. He holds you back so that he might hold you down.

Counter: The Remnant is not a secret. The operator declares. It is no secret that you are sober. It is a signal. When you put on the spiritual-minded military shirt, the enemy sees it. Your unit sees it. It is viewed by your family. The suppressed conflict is deprived of its dynamism the moment that it is taken into the light.

THE SOBRIETY PROTOCOL

You cannot do it with your will. You must have a protocol. Four steps. Execute immediately.

Step One: Perimeter Security

The enemy has trap lines in your house. The refrigerated beer. The bottle is in the cabinet. The hoard you have in case of "emergencies"—it is an enemy supply depot working on your soil.

Remove them. Today. Not next week. Not when you are ready. The logistics of the enemy must be destroyed before the enemy is considered secure. Pour it out. Give it away. Trash it. 

And when the craving comes—and come it will come—use the Fuel. One scoop of Cellular Hydrate - Electrolyte Formula in 16 ounces of water. The electrolytes inform your nervous system that the desert is dotted. One cup of Spiritual Minded Mushroom Coffee Blend. The mental logistics inform your brain that the mission is still in progress.

Step Three: Wear the Watch

Name the hour. You are aware of the attack. After Sunday evening drill. On Friday night at the end of the week. The time at which the silence is loudest, when the bottle speaks loudest.

It is now your hour; watch. When it comes, sit on the couch and white-knuckle it. Stand up. Wear your Soldier for Christ field armor. Walk outside. Breathe. Pray. Swear aloud: I am sober. I am vigilant. I am on watch. The enemy will not have this hour.

Step Four: Fired the fire team

You are not alone in being a sober soldier in the Iowa Army National Guard. There are others. They are at Camp Dodge. They are in Des Moines. They are at Cedar Rapid. They are waging the same silent struggle because the foe had declared to them that they were left alone.

Declare yourself. Put on the Red Leg Field Armor. Get your battle companion to view the uniform. By standing up as the 1% remnant that refuses to give in to his advantage, you permit another operator to do the same.

The fire team is created when a single soldier has the bravery to come out. Be that soldier.

THE IOWA FACTOR

Iowa is not neutral ground. Camp Dodge has trained warriors since World War I. The 34th Infantry Division carried this state into combat across North Africa and Italy. The legacy is not soft. The legacy is not passive. The legacy is not drunk.

The cornfields of Iowa have produced soldiers who fought in every major American conflict. The armories in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Sioux City, and Waterloo have sent thousands to defend this nation. Those soldiers did not come home to surrender to a bottle. They came home to build families, communities, and legacies. You are their descendant. Do not dishonor their sacrifice by becoming a casualty of your own downtime.

The enemy wants to turn Iowa's warriors into casualties of their own downtime. He wants the sons and daughters of Camp Dodge to be too compromised to pray, too foggy to lead, and too isolated to form the Remnant.

You were trained at Camp Dodge to identify threats. Identify this one. The bottle is not a reward. The bottle is an ambush. And you were trained to survive ambushes.

THE COMMANDER'S STANDING ORDER

I was a crack addict for five years. The enemy did not just want me sad. He wanted me AWOL. He wanted me absent from my own mission, missing from my own family, a ghost in my own life.

I was delivered in 24 hours. Not with rehab. Not with meds. With the Word of God as my primary weapon and Little General discipline to hold the line. Fifteen years drug-free. World Champion. Veteran.

I am not telling you to do something I have not done. I am issuing the protocol that kept me alive. The enemy wanted me to believe that I was too far gone. That recovery was for other people. That my service did not matter because of my addiction. The enemy was lying. He is lying to you too.

The enemy wants you drinking because a drunk soldier is a defeated soldier. A sober operator is a threat he cannot neutralize.

CONCLUSION

Secure the Fuel. Wear the Armor. Stand the Watch.

The enemy wants you to believe that sobriety is a sacrifice. It is not. Sacrifice is losing your family because you chose the bottle. Sacrifice is losing your career because you could not stop. Sacrifice is losing your health because you poisoned your body for years. Sobriety is not the sacrifice. Sobriety is the rescue.

Your obedience terrifies the enemy because your obedience proves that the enemy's lies have lost their power.

This is the Spiritual Minded Military Sobriety Protocol for the Iowa Army National Guard. The bottle lied. The enemy is exposed. The protocol is issued. Fall in.

The Remnant does not transition. The Remnant re-enlists.
