2012 Milbloggies Winners Announced

Sadly, AW1 Tim was unable to attend this year’s event.  An unfortunate cabal of real life situations conspired to prevent me from attending and from meeting up with many of my old friends. But there’s always next year. Sigh. Regardless, the winners of this year’s Milbloggies have been announced and

Julia’s Circle of Life: Obama Pravda

Iowahawk has once more used his own personal philosopher’s stone to change the lead of the Obama campaign’s Julia to the Golden Book edition it was meant to be. Go and read, and understand what the left REALLY means when they talk/tell/mandate how things should, er WILL be if they have their way. I

US Marine Musicians: The Few, The Proud, The Exceptional.

I believe that this video is a GREAT recruiting tool. I There are darned few things I’d recommend to a High School musician more than considering one of the Military Musician programs.  AW1 Tim was a music major in College, and had not there been openings in the Aviation Rates, I would have been in

TSO & A Dog On Patrol

Further adventures of our friend TSO going on Patrol in Afghanistan. Interesting observations by him and our own military about the Afghans and the ANA. In my defense, a first call of 0300 for a media embed is unconscionable. (Joes were 0200) Nonetheless, when I showed up at the vehicles this mornin

Milton Eugene Carlisle: An American Sailor

Milton Eugene Carlisle passed away on the 20th of April, 2012 after a long and productive life. I never met the man, but I’ve known many like him. He was a member of that “Greatest Generation” of Americans, those who set aside their lives to help win WWII, and keep our nation, and the world, [...]

Navy Airdales: Yeah, We’re Lucky Stiffs

Here’s a great old commercial. I haven’t a clue when it was made, but it’s pretty doggone good. It certainly captures the beau ideal that we of the Navy’s Aviation side of the family see ourselves as filling. BTW: For a great and insightful look at what life was like on liberty for my fellow [...]

April 18, 1942. A Quiet Hero

Sometimes, you are blessed to meet someone whom you recognize as being important, but the depth of that importance doesn’t hit you until later in life. Such was my case with Colonel Chase Jay Nielsen.  Colonel Nielsen came to speak to us when I was in elementary school. He’d recently retired from th

Patriots Day

Elections have consequences.  Through a crisp and heavy April night and into the early dawn, men from the surrounding communities descended upon Lexington green and Concord bridge to risk their very lives for their, and eventually our, liberty. They “fired the shot heard round the world” and several
