“When you are weak, appear strong. When you are strong, appear weak…”
Yeah, ten thousand lakes and one fish…
This is the officer’s oath. The President administered the enlisted oath.
It appears that the ones in ACUs are re-enlisting and the ones in sport shirts and khakis are new recruits.
I think the significance is that their enlistment certificates will have been signed by the CIC. It is something they and their descendants will treasure forever.
Good ones today, Unc. Thanks.
Hmmm, you have jogged my ancient memory about his antipathy towards the PEOC. Good point fren.
He probably took the call in the PEOC.
Will he be making fried horse cock, shit on a shingle and bug juice?
I posted yesterday about free building materials.
Do you really think they’ll call the cops?
Make sure you stay strapped if you do go “street shopping”.
How far down the depth chart is this piece of pig shit?
Is he the best and the brightest they have?
It did seem like “the good old days” but in reality, they weren’t so much. I think we are in for better times.
Cheers to you, fren.
Yep, I started as a BAL and COBOL programmer in 1978 for an aerospace company in NJ. I retired forty-two years later as a network engineer for a hosting company. Along the way I programmed in BAL, COBOL, PL/1 (my personal favorite), FORTRAN, C and a bunch of others. Coding is a way of thinking rather than a particular language. I moved into networking in ‘89/‘90 and found another niche.
According to most of my relatives and friends, I don’t know nuttin about no computers, to avoid the inevitable questions and never-ending support.
I have a stack of flow chart and drafting templates and a variety of “yellow cards” for the 360/370 computers and vi as well.
Ahh, the sound of a 1403 running the 48 character chain at full speed printing on multi-part forms.
I still have my 1978 issued Moore Business Forms steel print chart ruler.
Or 8” DSDD floppy disks…
An enterprising builder or mason should be taking out his truck(s) and a mini-skid loader and picking up the free material found laying in the street.
Sorta like garlic and fermented cabbage...
Oh yeah, and burned nitrocellulose.
Greta Thunberg couldn’t plan her next meal…
I worked with FO from the 1988-89 until retirement in 2019. You are correct that a clear sheath will let in ambient light but the tranceivers and the software can compensate for that. The strand is indeed fragile, but remember, it's single use only.
After, as "the friends of our friends" would say, he "dips his beak" for his payoff.
Does anyone know if and where it will be streaming?
Ahh, let me introduce you to... The bratwurst hot tub.
Grill your brats to your taste and then put an aluminum foil baking dish full of beer or stout on the grill. Add the brats and let 'em slow boil.
Enjoy them on a roll with some spicy mustard; now you're eating good!
I’ve owned two Fords across sixty years of car ownership and ten years as a service technician. To be fair, one of mine was an ‘03 Thunderbird, really a Lincoln, but it too became a maintenance money pit. They are and always have been junk cars from a junk company once owned by a junk family. Chrysler and GM aren’t far behind in the race to the bottom either.
I currently own a ‘15 VW Passat with over 165,000 miles on the odometer. It gets close to 50 MPG on the highway and around 37 MPG around town. It’s either my sixth or seventh VW, I’ve lost count.
