Navy UCAS

Navy UCAS (Unmanned Combat Aerial System) = AWESOME!

My Generation

If you have HBO, you must watch Generation Kill. Its a seven part series about 1st RECON Marines moving into Iraq when the war began. It's based on the writings of a Rolling Stones author who rode along with the unit. If you ever wondered what being a marine is really like...you'll get more than you asked for. Being in the military I'll say in short that, "Marines are people too." Enough said, now go watch!

Why I'm in the military...

There's an article on Wired.com called, "Military Eyes Football Helmets for Battlefield Protection"
The Army has apparently turned to the football helmet experts for advice on improving battlefield helmets. I must say that today's helmets are not comfy at all, but it served its purpose and I felt protected when I wore it. By all means, bring on the football helmets! Go Cowboys!

Another reason why I'm staying Navy...

I'm off today...and still getting paid. I will not be charged a day of leave, or sick day either. I'm simply being "compensated" for going to work this past Sunday. In the Navy we call that a "Comp Day." I do recall in the civilian sector if you have to work overtime you get paid for that overtime work, but you don't get back that time.

STAY-ing NAVY

We have decided to "Stay Navy."
No job in the world can come close to the job I have in the Navy.

Nobody likes getting deployed over and over and over again but when you do, these guys show that you just make the best of it, no matter what!
