“Strangely enough this first ever event was largely left uncovered by America’s media...”

“That kind of selfless logic is incredibly heroic.”

Semper Fi, Sir.

Awwww....William, you actually responded! You’re growing, son! Mom and I are so proud!

and there....and there....and here...

Hi! William! Glad to see you emotional-blogging here and there and there and there as always.

Funny how the military cries foul when their civilian leaders practice “social experimentation” and then we see examples like this of socialization deeply ingrained in the senior ranking officers/NCOs.

There was an apocryphal story we were passing around back in the late ‘80s of a KC-135 crew who was working with one of the carriers in a blue water ops situation. Just before the tanker wast RTB, she made a (very) low pass over the boat and then came around with wheels down and her IFR boom down in prep for what was…

Too true.

Great visual memory. Thanks, Tyler.

Great question. Never was an OPS guy so never faced with actual number crunching (or listening in as the O’s discussed it) when we went to Fallon or Gitmo and, of course, the boat took us everywhere else.

Ah the HH-3 from the days of Vietnam.

Ultrabuttz...would you agree that it fits the form and focus of what the US media has become (including Fox News)...entertainment?

Well...ummmm...yes.

Oh...and I would suggest the “over Iran and Iraq” instead of off the coast of Syria is an additional message to Iran and Iraq.
