MSgt Patton, USMC (Ret.), called Gunny

- Goes by
- Gunny, to the grandkids
He goes down the rabbit hole on everything he buys: every review, the best price anywhere, and usually a modification that makes it better than the one they sold him. He reviews golf from the maintenance side, because he keeps a course alive for a living. And if you knew him on active duty, you know about the bucket: a five-gallon bucket carrying a coffee pot and a grinder, because nobody should go into theater with stale coffee.
Nikki Patton, called Huny

- San Antonio, Texas
A recovering extrovert, impulse buyer, known overpacker, and planner. Her favorite thing these days is being Huny.
She shoots it, directs it, and cuts it, and when a Roster creator needs a media kit, an edit, or somebody to read a contract before they sign it, that's her. He's the reason we can go on vacation. She's the reason we have fun.
