It’s a tough job dealing with explosives on land and below the sea, so the training has to be tough as well. Check out what it takes to become a @USNavy explosive ordnance diver. #KnowYourMil
moms are tougher than you think
I am a mother and grandmother
I have been here for over a year
as I was called to do
sure I was shocked, appalled, shed some tears, have had sleepness nights
but what I found here is what the whole world needs
and that is HOPE
and I will tell you
the MAGA HAT kids just woke up a bunch of Mama Bears
the bear has been poked
and when mama bears are pissed shit happens
my main goal in life is to make the world a better place for my children and grandchildren.
I am smart enough to know I cannot help them if I do not know the enemy that we are fighting.
it's a dirty job but somebody has got to do it~
Foys came to the Diocese of Covington as it was in the midst of a class action lawsuit concerning the sexual abuse of minors by over 80 diocesan employees including priests.[2] The lawsuit was filed one day before Foys was appointed by the pope to the See of Covington. The claim was originally for $50 million,[3] but eventually grew to be much more over the years of litigation.
Foys vowed to meet with every victim of abuse who was willing to meet saying, "Those harmed by these shameful, despicable deeds now need the institutional Church and, more importantly, the pastoral Church to provide as much comfort and peace as possible. Our hearts must remain open, like Christ's".[4] He eventually met with over 70 victims of abuse personally and agree to create a system of payment where victims who were abused between 1948 and 1998 could receive compensation while not having to undergo the process of a trial.[citation needed]
The settlement eventually cost the diocese $120 million; $80 million of which came from insurance while $40 million came from the mortgage of diocesan properties (most notably Catholic Center/Marydale property in Erlanger). No parish properties were affected by the settlement. Each victim received between $5,000 and $450,000 depending on the severity of their case. Foys said "While no amount of money can compensate for the atrocities that were committed here, I pray that this settlement will bring victims some measure of peace and healing to victims and their loved ones".[5
