Don't pull a SCOAMF move this weekend and forget what it is supposed to be about but do have fun with friends and family and take a moment to honor the fallen this Memorial Day. USS Porter Collision
In the aviation world, we have a lot of training in something called aircrew coordination training (ACT) or cockpit resource management (CRM). Careful analysis of aircraft mishaps had determined that poor aircrew coordination and loss of situational awareness had contributed to or caused over 60% of mishaps. ACT was implemented in order to improve aircrew communication and situational awareness and lower human error in aircraft mishap rates. It is painfully obvious after listening to the audio of the USS Porter's bridge leading up to the collision that ACT/CRM training might be of value there.
I imagine this book, How To Avoid Huge Ships is a pretty popular read now. The book reviews are teh funneh.

Good God. Full scale Lego X-Wing fighter. Only 5,335,200 pieces! I'm disappointed though. The S-foils can't lock into attack position.

He survived the war and hated anything Japanese until he drank himself to death in the early 70's. He had a wicked sense of humor, and I'm proud to be named after him.

OMG, my dad served in the Pacific in WWII and my grandma was soooo anti-Japanese. Everybody inspected every gift we ever gave her, if it had a "made in Japan" sticker, it had to go prior to the gift-wrapping. Also, you took your life in your hands to mention FDR in their house. The dadster was their baby. Served on a liberty ship first and then as a signalman on a carrier in the Pacific.

Darn right. My little mutt (mini pom) is 15. We understand each other perfectly. He can't hear but can read my lips. "potty?" is pretty much all I say to him and he will start going in circles. I have to put him to bed and wake him each morning and the only time he barks it means potty or put me to bed mommy. Little shit is a pain in the ass but then I look at it as he is my only son and has loves me more than any person could.

All she needs to do is find out what unit/company they are with and relay that information to you. You then can call your local congresscritter/senator and/or post it on here and those of us in the know can push the info up the channels. Specifics would be beneficial.

But it evolved to Lascaux because their brains were the size of a walnut and they loved art history.

I know I've told this story before, but my uncle brought a brand-new Honda car home from college one day, Grand-dad never said a word, just walked out with a can of gas and a cigarette...

Folks,
I am not handy. But y'all already knew that.
Well today I proved it again. Lawmower was acting up, checked all the various bells and whistles. "Holy shit there's like no oil in this thing!" (Lawn mower was a gift from FIL, who got it from a friend of his who fixes up used mowers as a "hobby." It's actually a really nice Craftman 6.5HP mower with a 2.2hp self-propelled part, in reasonably good condition. Anyway...)
I (being my moronic self) added way to much oil to it and started it up to a cloud of smoke! One turkey baster later (nifty fact, it's really hard to find a turkey baster these days, and I didn't want to just drain it because I didn't have a pan) I've got it back up and running again, until hallway down the yard it dies.
Frustrated I go in, eat some dinner, come back out and notice it's choking again. Go through all the checks again, realized the bag was full. (I don't normally bag, but the grass got crazy tall while we were out of town, and the mulcher can't take it.)
Folks, I'm just not handy...
But the back yard is cut (ran out of daylight) I'll deal with the rest tomorrow.

This whole London thing has me shook up a bit. I am going there in July for a few days only as a rest stop before Scotland and Ireland. Problem is I booked this whole thing a year with my sister before things got this bad. I guess even if I have to sit in my hotel room with a stainless steel collar and a sofa in front of the door I can say I was there right?

Thank you for the recommendation, I really have no desire to see anything there but since my sister is going I had to agree to London.

There are those, even in Britain, who are fighting back.
But really, we can't win. If we don't fight back, various Americans will say "fuck 'em all, they chose this path". If we do fight back, various other Americans will say "raaaaacist!"

He survived the war and hated anything Japanese
until he drank himself to death in the early 70's. He had a wicked sense of humor, and I'm proud to be named after him.
My father, a member of the 4th Marine Division who as I've previously recounted here won a battlefield commission on Iwo Jima, detested Japanese until the day he died.

Chem Jeff, you should shoot a wide variety, as many as you can. Whatever feels comfortable and 'natural' in you hand, and the one that has an 'intuitive' operation to load, chamber and make safe after shooting.
After that, whatever you can afford to shoot on a consistent basis. Like 100 rounds every couple of weeks. It does no good to own something youre not proficient with.

I saw that earlier today. I love how everyone keeps saying that the sex was "consensual"; forgetting the whole meaning of "age of consent".
The girl raped a 14 year old classmate, pure and simple. She deserves to pay some price for it. Otherwise, I guess if you're a pretty white girl then rape is acceptable.

The japanese made the nazi's look like boyscouts. I had uncles in both europe and the pacific in WWII. Once in a rare while they would talk among themselves at family gatherings. It always seemed to get serious when the pacific vets were talking. The european theater vets cursed hitler and the nazis, the pacific vets cursed the whole fucking japanese race. The european vet's faces generally had a more horrified look when the pacific vets spoke. I was a little too young to get most of it, but one uncle went to his grave saying "the yellow race sucks".

Seriously, the nice thing about guns is that it is hard to go wrong with anything made in America. I have a .45 automatic - but I certainly wouldn't turn up my nose at a 9mm or Peaches' beautiful new revolver. Try them all out at the range. Get a good instructor to teach you gun safety and marksmanship. When you find a gun that you like - go with it.

I then asked one what if "she" was actually "he", and he was the captain of the football team who was 18 and caught banging a 14 year old. Their answer? The younger girl's parents are homophobes. Honestly, the left has no concept of how stupid they actually sound.
The response that I'm seeing to "What if the 18 year old was a boy?" has been to claim that it would still be ok.

Now for those in the military there are ways to handle this. If they have reported their concerns to their chain of command and nothing has been done to correct the problems they are seeing, then they have one option left before calling Congress. They must have the courage of their convictions and talk with the IG. If this bothers them and they want this problem fixed, then they must be willing to talk to the IG if their chain of command has failed.
What matters more? Doing the right thing no matter the cost? Or just sit there and let bad things go on. If they just stand there and privately gripe, then they are violating their oaths. Both the NCO, an E-6 means a crew chief and someone in charge of at least a few people. Leadership and all that. O-4 is also supposed to be a leader and usually a non-flying O-4 is in charge of a section with at least one senior NCO and a few Airmen.
Poor leadership leads to poorly performing units. Poorly performing units usually gets people killed. Will also see a high turn-over rate as either people seek a better unit or they just quit.
I remember when I went through USAF ALS one definition for leadership was stated thus - 'Leadership is the art of encouraging others to accomplish the mission.' How can anyone lead if they are unwilling to do what they should do? That is an untrustworthy leader.
/hops off soap box. This is a hot button issue for me. I have endured POS NCOs who would willingly backstab to keep their jobs or even worse stick their noses so far up an officer's 4th point of contact I was afraid if the officer suddenly stopped that NCO would fly out their mouth.
The fallen deserve all the respect and care that can be given them on their final trip home since they have given the last full measure in service to their country.

Personally, I wouldn't have a novice touch a handgun until they were proficient with a long arm - safety, cleaning, maintenance, responsible storage and transport, etc. Then, when they could reasonably commit to regular practice, introduce handguns.
My kids started with single shot .22s, then magazine fed - bolt .action .223, then single shot .20g (skipped .410), and are now learning the handgun basics on a .22 revolver.

An E6 dealing with asshole pilots is in a tough spot, especially in the AF where pilots are considered gods. I would say, speak up, respectfully, to the pilots involved. But if she decides to take it further than that, she needs to realize she's probably not going to get what she wants.

My point was more, did he see the results of Japanese *tyranny*, as the Allies saw the results of German tyranny in the labour camps and death camps.
-------------------
I recall a comment in "Flags of our Fathers" that had to do with a fellow's hatred for the Japs vs. feelings toward the Germans. He said something like, "Yeah, well the Germans didn't cut off my buddy's penis and shove it down his throat until he choked on it.."

If the assholes in question are in uniform, sometimes the only way to handle such situations is to kick it up the chain of command.
Depending on the chain of command in question, this may or may not yield results.
However, if the pilots in question are civilians working for a private air freight company, knowing the name of the company and the flight number could be very useful on its own.

Snow ruled Friday that the office of America's self-proclaimed toughest
Sheriff Arapaio systematically singled out Latinos in its trademark
immigration
patrols, marking the first finding by a court that the agency racially
profilespeople.
Friday evening ruling before Memorial Day.
---
No offense to anyone, but there are no such 'races' as Hispanic or Latino - so it can't be racial profiling.
Take somebody born in Mexico - then imagine the same person born in Spain - what race would they then be?
And yes, I know that a lot of Mexicans have Indian blood - but then so do a lot of "Whites" in the US - Elizabeth Warren for one example.
I truly hate liberal idiots.

American POWs came from the Philippines and places like Guam and Wake. Dutch POWs from Java. British POWs from the fall of Singapore and Burma. Aussie POWs from Singapore and Burma. Along with naval POWs from all those services.
American and Dutch civilians were interred in camps. Some of the Dutch women, like Korean women ended up as forced comfort girls of the conquering Japanese.
The Japanese would beat or kill a military prisoner if they failed to show proper respect to the Japanese soldier or the Emperor, it was whomever the proddy Jap decided was disrespected. Japs starved the men, worked them like slaves, denied them medical care, and stole Red Cross packages.
Of the eight Doolittle Raiders captured by the Japanese. A Jap kangaroo court convicted all of war crimes like strafing school children. Three were executed by firing squad. Then the Emperor had 'compassion' on the remaining five. Solitary confinement for life. One of them died of malnutrition. Meanwhile in reprise for the help the Chinese gave the escaping Doolittle Raiders, an estimated 250,000 Chinese were murdered. On top of the 300,000+ Chinese civilians already butchered by the Japs at Nanking.

When conservatives started saying that once "gay marriage" became the norm, that people marrying children and animals and polygamy would be pushed. The left laughed at us saying "no way, that is just wrong". Now that gay marriage is marching its way through the country, NAMBLA and others are gearing up to make their "tastes" the accepted norm.
Yup. So now we're supposed to accept that 18 year olds having sex with 14 year olds is natural and normal. Oh, by the way, we also need to allow 18 year old gay men to hang out in the woods with 14 year old boys under the guise of "scouting". Worried that they might form relationships? Why that's just bigotry and it would never happen!

It was the SS fanatics that did most of the atrocities. With the japanese, the cruelty ran from the top down.

Could have changed history, February 10, 2013
If this book had been available in 1969, Ted Kennedy would have read How to Avoid Huge Ships. On that night back from the party, he would have known how to tell the difference between Huge Ships and small islands. But since Sen. Kennedy didn't know How to Avoid Huge Ships, or what a huge ship looks like in the dark, he mistook Chappaquiddick Island for a Huge Ship and swerved off a bridge to avoid it. Had the accident not happened, Ted Kennedy would have been elected President all thanks to How to Avoid Huge Ships (and how to distinguish them from small islands).
How to Avoid Huge Ships could have changed history, along with a book on How to Drive Huge Oldsmobiles

In the European theater, even with Nazism, there was a common Judeo-Christian culture and a concept of rules of war, as well as the memories of WWI.
In the Pacific theater, the Japanese had developed a death cult around their emperor; indivduals were worthless, the only worthwhile use of your life was to use it for the emperor. Surrender was dishonorable - die to the last man. Out of that culture, there was top-down brutality from officers to soldiers, and soldiers to civilians/PoWs.
Out of that culture, you had murder of PoWs, mutilation and booby-trapping of corpses, targeting of medics (normally unarmed and protected by Geneva conventions), and that's just the atrocities committed on the battlefield.
Hopefully you're getting a small idea of why the strong reaction.

We had them on my first cruise. I used to watch them land, it seemed like that front gear would bounce forever. The ones that flew on Forrestal were actually based in Rota Spain, VQ-2, they would fly on when we got to the Med and fly off when we left. They disbanded the squadron when they retired the aircraft IIRC.

So it's a moderate breeze day, taking a long tack upwind, enough wind for everyone to be up on the windward rail. Well, the ship's owner thinks he hears something and peeks under the boom, immediately screams, "Tack, tack!" Skipper throws the rudder across and we all scramble to the other side to see the bow of a barge close enough for us to touch.
Fucking thing would have destroyed us. Must have been coasting so we couldn't hear it, just so happened our boat's sails blocked it from our vision the whole way. Of course, he fucker on the bridge should have seen us and blew his horn, but he must have been jerking off somewhere. He did blast it at us like two minutes after we tacked away, at which point we proceeded to flip him off and moon him.
But anyway, serious business that big boat stuff.

OK, sent email to the BH and she called 'em to turn it off. Took her four calls to do it. She emailed me the amount I should pay on the final bill and location where the equipment should be dropped.
Went to the location with the gear, where they took my name and told me to wait until it was called. There were about eight Comcast reps, and the waiting list was five people long.....but only three reps were serving customers at any time. I suppose I should be happy that none were openly fapping, but I suspect that some were playing solitaire.
After finally getting called, I gave 'em the stuff. Everything got unwrapped, and each cable box, remote, and power supply was set to one side -- everything else was returned to me. They scanned the cable boxes, then placed all of the stuff they'd isolated into a plastic trash can, and gave me a receipt. Took about 45 minutes -- most of which was waiting while the obviously idle didn't call customers.
It is hard to believe that a company can have the institutionalized rudeness of the DMV and still keep going -- but somehow, Comcast pulls it off.
This comes after I flew to NC on April 8 and their maintenance people cut the internet off my drop April 10. It's a good thing that I'm pretty self-contained when I travel, because if I'd VPN'd back to the homestead they would have left me stranded.
I think they recruit Comcast employees from people who can't qualify for HHS.

I think at this point we're three or four different countries within a country controlled by a power elite loyal only to themselves who ladle out bread and circuses to maintain a sense of calm and normalcy.
A CNN host today talked about Kermit Gosnell and the audience didn't know who Gosnell is. Bet your ass they know Jodi Arias' bra size though

I'm not sure if Long Island has all their power restored 6 months after Sandy
Chris Bagadonuts puffed about the Boardwalk in Sleazeside being finished today. Still a bunch of empty lots in the area, Badadonuts says it's because the owners hadn't made up their minds whether to rebuild or not
Shit, even La-La Land had the 10 Freeway restored in 3 weeks after the Northridge Quake
I've noticed that nobody in Moore is bitching about not having the government there yet to hold their hands

Bomber,
It could be worse. There's nothing like having your brigade pipeline cut down to 4 megs right before a 140+ slide level 1 CONOP brief.

Apparently the corps commander just came down and lit up the battalion commander. So now everybody is jumping through their asses to fix it. Thing is, I'm a division LNO to the battalion (and Navy at that), so we need to have a little talk about emergency tasking. A captain from the battalion emailed a lot of people late last night, said "do these slides ASAP."

OK, I'm a little new here, but this topic begs the reference to the Belknap (sp?) incident. That tragedy cost a lot of lives, and has become a key part of OOD qualification for JO in our Navy ever since.

On carriers the pole forward of the island is called the Kennedy pole...except on the Kennedy where it's called the Belknap pole. Or was, anyway.

The things and other that only those that have seen combat know.
Yet we try to remember for them....at the very least to Honor them.

so I am in my office and these retirement account guys stop by, they want me to set up a supplemental retirement account with them. I say sure, why not, after all I had just gotten a (meager) raise and it would probably be better in the long run if I put that money aside instead of wasting it on hookers 'n' blow. And I ask the guy: is this an annuity account? Because I don't want an annuity. He says no. Okay I sign up. I put the papers in a drawer, don't really read them.
So this last couple of weeks I've been cleaning up my office and I come across the papers, and I actually read them carefully this time - it's a fuckin' annuity! The guy flat out lied to me. Grrrrrrr. Pisses me off.
so I'm going to HR first thing on Tuesday to get the payroll deduction canceled.
