Son #1 was cadre for the Combat Survival Training summer class at USAFA. His job was always teaching the dispatch and cleaning of the bunnies during the training. He didn’t seem to mind it since he grew up hunting and fishing.

The swimmer was able to remove the woman from the car in the dangerous rescue mission. The unidentified woman, who was in her 60s, did not survive.

Bravo Zulu, or whatever they say in the Coast Guard. I not only wonder how the car got into the river but how it wasn't swept over. It's a raging torrent.Wow. Talk about a dangerous mission... Semper Paratus indeed!

Took DS on his first helicopter ride at the falls when he was 3 or 4. The pilot flew down the river and when he got to the falls did a steep dive. Definitely got your attention.

The constitution doesn’t mention the AF so it should become the Army Air Corps again.

LOL. With modern unified command and joint bases I am not sure combining any of the services is going to achieve much.

Some may say that Commander Norman R. Denny, U.S. Navy Reserve (Retired) may want to find a safe house to hide out in for a bit. Maybe we should just change the United States of America to the Republic of stupid ideas if anyone agrees with this.

"I'm sure that I'll be answering questions about this [to Congress] in the near future."
Seems to me the author focuses on capabilities and ignores a very real issue that is present in all large organizations... Chain of Command.
