Just Because It's Not A Tin Roof...

...doesn't mean it's not just as hot.Yes, it's perfectly acceptable for a Lady Warrior to opt for uniform uniformity with her commo (and camo) Battle Buddy when the temp pops above 105F. These folks are our two newest Best Friends, and we're gonna be seeing them a lot in the next few weeks if things go according to schedule.Of course, this kind of work isn't as hot as *this* kind of work --Rockets, airfields, and dry grass don't mix, even when the rockets *don't* go "bampf...

Today's Medal of Honor Moment for 13 June

Our opening Medal today, from the interim period of 1871-1898, is an award that today would not be a Medal of Honor.

The Army equivalent is the Soldier's Medal , the Air Force is the Airman's Medal , and the Coast Guard awards the Coast Guard Medal. FASSEUR, ISAAC L.

From one paradise to another...

In the world of Top Gun, it's Goose who dies too young. Kittehs watch movies, too. And in the Ziegenfuss household in Hawaii, they got the story backwards. In Top Gun: Hawaii, it's Maverick who dies too young, as Carren had to send him to Piddler's Green yesterday because he lost his fight with an internal flight of MiGs. Goose and family mourn today. Maverick is the tall dark handsome fella on the right. Gandalf the Grey of Castle Argghhh! went to Piddler's Green just a few weeks...
