I love, love love Lindsey Stirling. I am not a fan of dubstep, but the violin work steals my heart. How in the world she can dance and play amazes me.
This entry is pretty much a dump getting crap off my desktop.
I finally downloaded “The Pressure Cooker.” It is a book written largely by a former marine Drill instructor who did several tours at AOCS when AOCS still existed. Largely considered the worst decision in Naval Aviation history was the combining of OCS and AOCS. It happened around the same time the Army decided to let everyone wear berets, even if they hadn’t graduated Ranger School, Airborne School, or Special Forces School. Kind of “a trophy for all the special snowflakes.”
The Navy combined two very different schools because there was a perception that graduates of AOCS considered themselves better than graduates of OCS. For good reason. We went through the most grueling commissioning program in the US Military. We were pounded into paste, and 16 weeks later we emerged as golden Gods. And our work hadn’t even started yet. We were a completely different breed of officer.
The book is a good read, because it re-confirms what I went through that hot sweaty summer in 1989.
This girl, Gillian Turner. She gives me wood every time I see her on TV, but it is practically impossible to get a decent picture of her on line. She is so put together. That body, those legs, that hair, that face.
Not sure what the big conspiracy is…we leave it OFF almost all the time.
Aviators laugh our asses off any time we see or read about “chem trails.”
The contrails you see in fair, dry skies are the result of water injectors being used above where the adiabatic lapse rate allows the water vapor remain part of the air mass. It basically comes out of solution because the temperature is below the dew point. Thus contrails.
So no, you conspiracy nuts, the country isn’t poisoning you. At least not from the air.
