An update. So far, one of the couples are dead. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/06/14/shootings-minnesota-champlin-brooklyn-paLrk/84200274007

I haven't seen any "national" 250th anniversary parades scheduled for October 13th. Or November 10th. Oh wait, the Corps always does a birthday party each year with a cake. I was looking for an appropriate Will Rogers' quote. I faintly remember something about if you're going to honour the...

Perhaps the only poll that Trump cares about.

Is "Public Health Officer" a new (or to be a new) occupation? Or is it to be a sub-specialty of an existing MOSID, perhaps Bioscience, such as in the old days when "PMed" was one of the specialties of Medical Associate Officer (MAO) that encompassed all the medical branch MOCs except for MOs...

A conversation overheard at a local mall. Excuse me Mister, why are you hanging around the food court? I've seen you here every day for the past two weeks. I'm looking for fit young boys and girls. I want to show them something exciting. Please come with me. We want to have a chat with you.

No, I was expecting this

An interesting read. As I went through it I couldn't help but notice that several times the projectiles thrown at law enforcement were identified as ". . . fireworks, rocks and mangos . . .". No other fruit, vegetable or other comestible was listed as a weapon. Is there such an overabundance...

What? Who's going to do the WBGT readings or make sure that shit is disposed properly? 😓

Given that the OP had posted a question three weeks ago that suggests he is not yet in the CAF, and all of his posts (few as they are), dating back a couple of years, are inquires about what various occupations do or what are the benefits, I would suggest that even he doesn't know what he would...

Seen. No one Few people go downtown anymore unless it's for a specific purpose. There's no window shopping, retail foot traffic is non-existent and the majority of people downtown during the day are there because they either have a job (and are inside working) or because they're on the edges of...

I'm not too sure about that. The Title 10 article under which Trump ordered these guardsmen/women to active duty includes this statement: "Orders for these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States or, in the case of the District of Columbia, through the commanding general of...

Do I have to grow a moustache? Oh wait, different month and a different end of the anatomy. Seriously, good advice. Take care.

You get what you pay for (or what you don't pay for) https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/06/11/guard-soldiers-deployed-trumps-la-crackdown-arent-getting-paid-yet.html

Is this something new? If my memory hasn't failed me, Class A reservists used to be able (by the book, but rarely getting the opportunity) to fly 'opportunity' (i.e., space A). They didn't actually have to be paid to be considered on paid service.

Maybe the navy needs to trial a uniform that is mixture of square rig and fore and aft.

Damned casual attitude for FAing, hand in pocket and using his phone probably videoing whatever is happening below. A grainy twenty second clip doesn't provide a lot of context. What about the twenty seconds before, or the sixty seconds, what would that show? Despite a claim of "footage from...

I'll respond by referring to one of the vessels you gave as example of an auxiliary performing a military function. https://www.navylookout.com/rfa-stirling-castle-to-be-transferred-from-royal-fleet-auxiliary-to-royal-navy/ If a civilian auxillary organization (RFA) that has a long history of...
