Sorry for the paucity of content from me of late - work has been a crusher, and since it pays better'n you guys (though you *are* dutifully clicking the ad over there, right?) I've been giving it the attention the client deserves and is paying for. Which paid off, as the brief to the Boss of Bosses went well, setting the stage (and the hook) for the follow-on work.
Memo to Governor Sanford: STFU, boyo.
You're embarassing yourself and really sticking it to your wife (heh, the irony) and making your sons squirm in embarassment. No one but Stewart Smalley is impressed with your self-indulgent family-destroying blatherings.
We got the message. You don't want to be President. You can quit sending us the notes. -the Armorer

*A term of art from the artillery. Harassment and Interdiction Fires. Back in the day, when you could just kill people and break things without a note from a lawyer, they were pre-planned, but to the enemy, random, fires at known gathering points, road junctions, Main Supply Routes, assembly areas, etc - to keep the bad guy nervous that the world around him might start exploding at any minute. Not really relevant to today's operating environment, right? But, it *is. The UAVs we fly over Afghanistan and Pakistan looking for targets of opportunity are a form of H&I fires, if you really want to parse it finely. We just have better sensors and fire control now. Of course, now I have to call them UAS's, because someone got a Legion of Merit for the name change.Anyway, I call the post H&I Fires because it's random things posted by me and people I've given posting privileges to that particular topic. Another term of art that might be appropriate is Free Fire Zone.
Good job. Way to bring in future work!
They paying you extra for the daily OCONUS clicks, I trust?
Not sure that aviation branch is ready for Bill-mentored Lieutenants...
You are so tactful in this comment. I would have never been able to do it. I personally think he was stupid should just stick his head where he had it.
Lost my link to the 'build a post' page. So, here's something cool I found about port/green water defense. http://www.spacewar.com/reports/Underwater_Robots_Identify_Potential_Threats_In_Murky_Waters_999.html
Robots and lasers? What's *not* cool about that?
CAll me a kill joy but I never really like the Austin Powers films. How many penile jokes does one really need in an hour+?
