    Sargesbrat Oh, reports of 20 Americans being on board goes unsubstantiated. So far, only 3 Americans have been identified as being on board. One was with IBM. Statement that was made about all being from a Phoenix company is probably incorrect. SNAFU

Polk for advanced infantry training in 1968 I pulled KP on Thanksgiving.  Man, we worked our butts off and don't you know I remembered that meal in 1954!...    less

The mission does not require stealth because they are always in the enemy’s face (close up and personal) anyway. Mach speeds are not needed for their mission. The P-47 is much more maneuverable, get better mileage, carries just as much armament, can take off from dirt roads and cost no more than a Mercedes to build. Cheap F-16’s could give them all the cover they need. The engines cost about a million but body damage can be covered with beer cans. Also, this would pave the way to change the regulation that limits the Army to flying helicopters. Like the Marines, why not have Army pilots fly the tactical fighters using propellers. They are more easily repaired in the field and use piston engines that Army guys are more familiar with?  less

  Vann I am listening to "The Generals" by Thomas E. Ricks and it is a fascinating book on how the U.S. Military has changed since WWII.

    gregkerr It's a great book Vann. I called my ex-boss and recommended it as a good leadership tutorial. So much in the corporate world is like the higher echelons in the military, setting goals, learning from past success and failure, tact and diplomacy, etc etc.

My dad didn't talk much about the Korean War where he was a tank commander, but he did talk to his brothers about Viet Nam, but not a lot about the politics of the time and such. I can better understand now how it was a struggle in the 70s for him as the army transitioned towards the all volunteer army that would come later.

    Sargesbrat Has anyone talked to those kids that are going to be old enough to vote in a couple of years? Is it just me or does it seem they quit teaching history in schools? We are doomed if they get enough gumption to get out and vote.

We''ll look back and realize that sometimes it's all over before you can mobilize.

His work called today to say that he got his promotion and the new shift starts Sunday in a week. He is being transferred about 180 miles from here and it is a 64 hour a week shift. So he will be sleeping in the jail facility where he will work. Now we have to find a uniform shop that is open tomorrow because he needs new uniforms. 409 days left until retirement, it can't come soon enough for me. We may be busy next Friday night too get ready for his new job on Sunday, but after that I should have no problems making the chats. Miss you all.
  Judy, sorry to hear that you are having the same problem regarding the pain medication. This is a bad problem to have. I am not looking forward to my root canal in a week.  less
