It's been really quiet for the past couple of days.....

I heard that it is coming soon. Like within the next week or so. I know a guy who used to be the best friend of the cousin of some guy that used to wash the National Commander's car and he said that he saw a ABU hat in the back seat...you know what that means!

Mostly it means that I have too much time in my day....

I did apply to the National Commanders protection detail.  Apparently there was some sort of weird hazing ritual that involved rubber chickens and 550 cord.  Im still waiting to hear back.  Im hoping the EP Detail specialty track has a sweet badge!

Actually, Pig...I am glad that you're here. We need someone to head up our rotary wing air mobility project. We will of course need to perform heliborne insertions for ground teams via fast rope and do some air assault functions to support crash site security missions.

Well, seeing as my meeting is tonight, and Spam is out of town on business, I'm running the show. So....

DIGITALZ FUR EVRY1

Real rifles for color guard practice.

Ribbons can be worn on BDUs...oops I mean ABUs

I am replacing our COV with a Bradley IFV or maybe one o' them surplus MRAPS

Armed guards at the entrance.

Good loiter time, but I think that we would do better with a H60 or S76 airframe. That way, we can perform medevac lift when we locate the search subject.

The AF decided to keep the A-10, so we're getting F-35s. They apparently really didn't like those... But word is NHQ doesn't want them either.

Reminds me of the Simpson's episode where Homer was at the WTC. The guy at the roach coach gave him a choice between Mountain Dew and Crab Juice. Homer said "Ewwww....I'll take the Crab Juice...."

I want to smack the duckbutter out of somebody every time the F35 comes up. Between that and the LCS, I wonder if there is an adult in charge...

Allow HSOs to treat injured people on finds...

A new device for the Find Ribbon, a little heart brass for their first treatment on a Find, replaced by a silver heart after treating four additional members or Saves on additional missions.

Allow HSOs of the same gender to make any medical exams on members they are allowed to legally make on their private practice that may be needed by members...

Yes, Spam is out of town doing that aerospace engineering stuff.

I'm wondering if Garibaldi has broken out the practice rifles in my absence and discovered that we actually have real Lee-Enfield rifles in stock, not just the parade rifles and the dummy "ok to drop, no forward sights to cut your fingers" rifles?

After six years at the JAST/JSF JSPO, I can tell you... you don't want one. The entire CAP budget couldn't pay for even one crappy F-35 HMCS.
