Thanksgiving 2010

Be thankful for all the things that Bill, Dusty, and Boq and related commenters have remarked upon in the posts that precede this one. And if you're fighting to control your fist.of.death when dealing with the TSA at an airport, or fighting to control your fist.of.death because of asshats making a political statement about government-directed fondling by delaying your travel on the busiest travel weekend of the year... just be thankful that you don't have to kevlar-up and mount your MRAP...

Let us give thanks...

A little lesson from the Pilgrims on Thanksgiving Day, or, "the more things change, the more they stay the same." 389 years later, a significant percentage of America STILL doesn't understand basic human nature. I find it amazing that, despite the aggressive and never-ending attempts of our "betters" (The One, et al.) to "spread the wealth" that we as a country continue to resist, to overcome, and to thrive. God bless America and Happy Thanksgiving.

Have a Peaceful Thanksgiving, Kids

I won't expound on what we think of 'round these parts when the subject of "Turkey" arises, but I *will* say that I have a greater appreciation of the original purpose of the day -- setting aside a small quiet time to remember what we've been given, to be grateful for what we've received, not just from God, but from our companion travellers on the road.To share that which we can, even if it's only words.Thanks, kids.*koff*So, why are you still here? Go on, scoot -- go...

A day in the life of a Redleg...

Sergeant John Crosby recently took some pictures of some Indiana National Guard Redlegs of the 2nd Bn, 150th Field Artillery gunning their brand new M777 155mm howitzer at Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center. I ran with the very nice picture of the Gunners in the midst of Service of the Piece. And since I've been doing pictures of planes and taco trucks of late, I thought I'd relay on the azimuth of fire and level my bubbles, and go with a post that tells the Rest of the Story....

Since Boq got his Hanes' in a twist over the pics for Dusty and Bill...

...this one's for you, Boq - per your request! The Master and Mistress of Argghhh! are back on dry land. The drunken weaving walk is not due to alcohol or Parkinson's - we finally got our sea legs, so, of course it was time to debark... BTW, Boq - are these things fueled by customer feedback?

...and, frankly, all of us ordnance-geeks. French air force Maj. Yann Malard exits an A-10C Thunderbolt II after a mission Nov. 10, 2010, at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan.

New Kid on the FOB -- uhhhh -- COS. Whatever...

Every military organization copes with something euphemistically described as “turbulence” – basically, it means “personnel turnover,” troops rotating out and their replacements rotating in. Now, a military unit has to deal with that fairly continuously, and each unit will assign a sponsor to each incoming troop in order to get him (okay, or her – sheesh) adjusted, settled, and functioning as rapidly as possible. The sponsor usually gets billeting squared away...

On A Day Like Today

On a day like today a President dedicated just under two-an-a-half minutes of his valuable time to redefine the fundamental principles of our republic. Let us pray that neither we nor future generations are called upon to reforge our republic as they once forced to do. Boq
