    Even worse was in the "tactical environment" of having to eat them cold.

    Not like nowadays with the heat pack and the ALL IMPORTANT bottle of tabasco sauce. If you humped or jumped in with a bottle in your ruck (and it didn't break) everybody was ready to barter with you.

    Tabasco = must have on deployment

    Something broke in me when we spent $200m on a new threat upgrade, could hit a drone 150 miles out, but put it on a 30 year old steam engine platform that couldn’t keep up with the carrier it was designed to protect. During our WESTPAC the rest of the carrier group left us at Kismayo for Operation Restore Hope because we didn’t have the speed to keep up with everyone else. 
     

    That old boy needed to be decommissioned. 

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Steam platform huh? That would be pretty long in the tooth. 
     

    I bet the BT Punch was fun 

  3. Some of you might recall that I'm part of the leadership team of an UT Austin chapter of a Health and Human Services (HHS) organization. Our network consists of more than 200,000 national volunteers. The general organizational goal is to improve the health and safety of our local communities. Most recently that revolved around covid response. 

    We met last weekend and one of the topics was disaster preparedness. Given the current international situation, please take some time and consider what you might do in case of disaster. This is more than just having a go bag. You need to really think it through and there are details you won't think to consider. The Texas Department of State Health Services has a well organized website created by subject matter experts to help. https://texasready.gov 

    Stay safe, look out for each other and Hook 'em

    One would think that, but, what if Russia didn't do any game planning, combat or otherwise?  It certainly appears that way.

     

     

     

     

    More likely, the gaming included a tremendously inaccurate assumption(s)

    Trying to think of a way Russia ends this without being completely humiliated and shunned and only answer is Putin being removed from power by Russians. It's the only way this ends and Russia doesn't implode.

    This assumes that the psychopaths in question are capable of feeling shame. 
     

    Would like to see it though

    No idea what's going on here but it looks like your typical armored vehicle duel during morning drive time.  

     

     

    The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.
