It was a joint and coalition exercise: largest Bold Quest to date over the last decade. We were proving Mode5 lethal interrogations: mainly against US and Italian Targets - some German as well. Bold Quest had over 1300 participants... I forget how many nations were there... it was to see how ground, air, and maritime platforms talked to one another via Link 16. Pretty cool exercise. Plus for me it was good professionally. I seemed to be well liked for my efforts over the past 6 months by some big hitters in the JDAT and joint fires civilians communities. I want to get into the Acquisitions (testing) branch in a few years, so it was very helpful.
WOWZERONI!
That is really impressive! Thank you so much, Brent!

| New Mid East Wall. Did you
know?
This is just west of Chicago, and I didn’t even know anything about it. I didn't know anything
about this till I got this. YET another story the US Media has failed to
tell us... http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=WEPBQGu74oo&feature=player_embedded
WOWZERS!
Thank you so much, Wayne!

Moose
Hunters From http://www.snopes.com/photos/accident/mooseheads.asp: "The photograph features an amusing juxtaposition of the usual hunter / prey relationship (the two deer-swilling moose are an especially nice touch), but that's all it is. Driving with one's vision impeded by a head covering and causing multiple traffic accidents falls far outside the realm of a joke, and no news account documents any such occurrence of multiple 'moose head shock' vehicle collisions having taken place on a Maine interstate (or anywhere else)."

From www.ajokeaday.com - 06/22/13:

For a
couple years I've been blaming it on lack of sleep and too
much pressure from my job, but now I found out the real
reason: I'm tired because I'm overworked.
The population of this country is 237 million. 104 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work. There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do the work. Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government, leaving 19 million to do the work. 2.8 million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 16.2 million to do the work. Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and City Governments and that leaves 1.4 million to do the work. At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals, leaving 1,212,000 to do the work. Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work. You and me. And you're sitting at your computer reading jokes. |

(Since You've) Gone
Recorded by
Ferlin Husky, 1957
(b.
03 Dec 1925)
Since you've gone, the moon, the sun, the stars in the sky know the reason why I
cry
Love divine once was mine; now you've gone
Since you've gone, my heart, my lips, my tear dimmed eyes, a lonely soul within me
cries
I acted smart, broke your heart, now you've gone
Oh, what I'd give for the lifetime I've wasted
The love that I've tasted; I was wrong; now you've gone
Oh what I'd give for the lifetime...
