The LACE report is an important reporting tool to ensure that all members of a platoon, company, or battalion are in tip-top fighting shape, and if they are not, exactly what needs to happen to enable them.


We will briefly go over what a LACE report is, how it is reported, and then repeat the LACE report to help you memorize it. It's not only important to know on the battle field, but also for your soldier of the month and promotion board.

everything is fine and you have drunk some of your water or.
Used some fuel. But not enough to be a concern
anytime soon. A LACE report of Lima Amber

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
