Punk’s Publicity Push…

Team Mooch has a host of interesting videos for this week’s newsletter that may appear a bit dissonant to our regular audience.

From Custer, to Area 51 to our YouTube guru in Moochland.

For a few weeks we’ve been heads down pushing the latest installment of the Punk fiction series. But rest assured, we’ve come out the other side and will be rolling out new exclusive interviews that are in our sweet spot.

Thanks to all of you for your continued support to Mooch and the team and for spreading the word on Punk’s Force far and wide. We’re knocking on the door of the top 100 list for “War Fiction” on Amazon, so every good review and purchase helps!

Stay tuned for more updates. And as always, keep us posted on your thoughts and feedback.

Thanks for subscribing,

On June 1, SECDEF Hegseth and the CJCS Caine flew from Nellis AFB to Area 51, presumably to get an update on the F-47 program. But maybe they were being briefed on somethings else.
