Reports of Hubert's retirement...

…are usually, as Sam Clemens said after reading his own obituary, “greatly exaggerated.”Over the past couple of years, I must’ve seen three or four articles each year reporting the Final Retirement of the UH-1H, usually worded to give a casual reader the impression that the unit doing the obligatory Photo-Op Flyby was the last unit flying the last Huey in the Army. After several months, another article from another unit reporting the Final Retirement of the UH-1H, again worded...

Pity the poor President...

His "Osama bounce" wasn't that large, nor did it last that long , and it didn't really pull up his "performance on the economy" numbers. This despite the hacks in the White House Spin Room tossing OPSEC under the bus in order to sex up the story, regardless of downstream consequences to the people who actually, you know, take *actual* risks with their lives and health. But hey, they're volunteers and expendable to Teh Agenda. Regardless of all that - here at Castle...

Preview of Coming Attractions...

Blogging has some pluses. One of them is being big enough in reach that people send you presents, hoping to entice you to write about them. My new bestest friends in the whole world are the guys and gals at Luckygunner.com . Earlier this week, the Big Brown Toy Delivery vehicle dropped off a package blazoned with ORM-D, which is shipping code for "Other Regulated Material - Domestic." I.e., hazmat of some sort. When something marked like that shows up at Castle Argghhh!, it's almost...

Someone perhaps you should know, but probably don't.

As we barrel through our lives and midwestern supercell mesocyclone storms towards the Memorial Day weekend, a post kind of wrote itself in email last night - one appropriate to the coming holiday. As I'm running through an email stream revolving around Castle Denizen Bloodspite, who lives about 20 milies southeast of Joplin, Missouri, this popped into my email box. Denizen Toluca Nole was feeling like he should have known something, anything, about a recently deceased Marine veteran of World...

Memorial Day, a mild rant on the reason for the season.

I noticed, as did the Auld Soldier, that over the 80's and 90's and into the 00's,he and I would get ever-greater attention revolving around the holiday, as, in our eyes, Memorial Day and Veteran's Day got more conflated. There are lots of reasons for that, we supposed. The relative peace of the time, the national schizophrenia regarding Vietnam, then the whole 9/11 and it's aftermath thing. I am frankly uncomfortable, when around this time of year people recognize I'm a veteran...

The time has come, the Armorer said... for a Whatziss!

Now, since I do have that kind of reputation, I coulda just gone with something like this... which I admit is tempting.[Click the pic to embiggen, if you think it will help...]But, I'm not feeling like that this morning, so I'll offer this up instead, for your starter shot - that said, there's no embiggening this one.No cat hairs for scale, either. Yet. Though I'm sure there is actually a cat hair in that pic somewhere. ...

Wow - if true, a two-fer! US forces reputedly are in possession of a dead Osama bin Laden . And NATO apparently managed to nail Qaddaffi's son . Some good news. Yay.
