Site update
OK, if the site looks the same to you as it did the last time you visited, and I’ve heard that a few folks wander this way when bored out of their skulls, well, if it looks the same you need to refresh your browser. Really.
MIL 12
My memories of working at Carswell are such a swirl of events that I don’t know where to begin. Perhaps the best place to begin is with that first day of being truly assigned to the 7th Bomb Wing, Field Maintenance Squadron, Accessories Branch, Instrument Shop.

Thanksgiving, 2006
Today is Thanksgiving Day and the wife is with one her sisters and their mother and in one of the amusement parks sponsored by that famous rodent originally of California fame. Meanwhile, I’m here at home, which is just fine by me.
The last few days…
** We have been living at a luxury-class resort hotel in the local area for the last three days and it has been quite a change.

John Kerry, you cowardly ass
My blog is new and my purpose has just begun to solidify. One decision I have made is that political items will not be a part of my activity. However, Senator John Kerry, you have crossed the line (again, again, again) from playing politics to denigrating MY troops.
Wreaths Across America
The short of it all:
They’ve been doing it for 15 years at Arlington National Cemetery.
They make them in Maine.
They deliver them.
They place them at the grave markers.
They won’t accept any donations.
And that’s not good enough so they are expanding.
