It has become evident that the USA has a serious balloon gap. We need to increase balloon overflights of China. LOL

I had read last year that the Navy was considering changing the scholarship to give the recipient a choice of whether to use the scholarship for either tuition or room and board. (Yes, I know there are some schools that will pay for room and board if the student get the NROTC scholarship. That...

We should pay attention to how the war is being fought. For example: day of the tank may be coming to an end. Too vulnerable. Of key importance: having the most ordnance (missiles, rockets, artillery), the best trained/motivated troops, and large numbers of UAV’s. Whoever runs out of...

DS graduated high school in May. He had his heart set on going to the University of South Florida in Tampa. Due to a 30% increase in applications, he could only get acceptance to start in January 2023. That is what he decided to do. It ruined his chance to start NROTC or NROTC-MO this year...

My DS graduated HS this past spring. He applied to and was accepted to the University of South Florida in Tampa for January 2023 start rather than Fall 2022 (due to a 33% increase in applications and over-crowding.) He did not win the NROTC-MO scholarship for which he applied. He had been...

I am hoping that this will give NATO and the EU even more leverage to force Putin to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. But who knows. It might even have the opposite result.

Put more money towards destroyers and submarines. https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/25/asia/china-navy-aircraft-carrier-analysis-intl-hnk-ml-dst/index.html

I am just finishing Code Talker, the autobiography of Chester Nez, one of the original 29 Navajo code talkers. The service these men gave to America is so extraordinary that it is almost beyond belief. Mr. Nez served in the Guadalcanal, Bougainville, Guam, Pelelieu and Anguar campaigns...

I saw it yesterday in IMAX. I enjoyed it. I was not looking at my watch waiting for it to end. It was visually impressive. However, the entire story seemed rather hokey, the mission was ridiculously impossible and there too many scenes and subplots and call-backs copied from the first movie...

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2022/04/20/10-deaths-10-months-string-of-suicides-single-aircraft-carrier.html Very harsh conditions for those detailed for maintenance during major refit. I am surprised that command allowed these conditions to continue. The sailors should have been given...

I went to see The Northman yesterday. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I loved seeing the Top Gun preview in full Dolby sound. Realism aside, Top Gun II looks like a great movie. Because I am not an aviator and never served in the Navy, I can easily suspend all disbelief and let myself think...

DS did not get the NROTC-MO scholarship and the college he has chosen to attend offered him admission for Spring '23 instead of this fall. That means he cannot start NROTC-MO as a college programmer this year. He just told me that instead, he is planning to apply for PLC down the road, but as...

Well, it looks like this is it. No NROTC-MO scholarship and DS is dead set on attending the University of South Florida, which would only admit him to start Spring Semester 2023, instead of this Fall. Unfortunately, the result is that he cannot start NROTC as a college programmer until he is a...
