1,000s Turkish forces surround NATO’s Incirlik air base for ‘inspection’ amid rumors of coup attempt
RT ^ | July 30, 2016

Posted on 07/30/2016 5:32:31 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Some 7,000 armed police with heavy vehicles have surrounded and blocked the Incirlik air base in Adana used by NATO forces, already restricted in the aftermath of a failed coup. Unconfirmed reports say troops were sent to deal with a new coup attempt.

Hurriyet reported earlier that Adana police had been tipped off about a new coup attempt, and forces were immediately alerted. The entrance to the base was closed off.

Security forces armed with rifles and armored TOMA vehicles used by Turkish riot police could be seen at the site in photos taken by witnesses....

Adjustable yield 3 to 134 megaton tactical nukes.

Either you are incredibly careless with your proofreading, or you have NO idea WTF you are talking about.

3 megatons is certainly not tactical.

The largest nuke ever detonated was the Soviet Tsar Bomba (approx. 50 megatons).

The "Dial A Yield" goes from 0.3 kilotons to 340 kilotons: hence, it could be regarded as either tactical or strategic.

not about methods as much as it is about implosive wave.

Technically, no. A recruit must first complete basic, then attend an “A” school, and sometimes a “C” school, depending on their determined occupation. Female Marines serve in ground units as Admin staff as well as supply clerks, which are both support shops for not just ground units, but even aviation and aviation support. So yes, females served in ground units decades ago.

Travis McGee asked you a direct and straight forward question to which you replied with a categoric, "yes".

Here is the direct copy of his post to you with the key words in bold.

" So, were “regular female recruits” being sent into ground combat infantry units decades ago?

Your reply to me evades the question with a vague BS answer. WTF is a meme and how does it pertain to the issue raised? I didn't post a "meme", I posted a direct question to you in standard English, which apparently is as foreign to you as your knowledge.

Again, I ask you directly to Provide dates, theaters, and unit action citations to support your wispy allegation. Can't get any clearer than that.

I can’t get much clearer when I say that female Marines do serve in ground units. Units have Admin and Supply shops that are part of the unit. Female Marines do work in these shops, regardless of whether the unit is a ground side or aviation unit. Therefore, females do serve in ground side units.

Admin is short for administration. Administration involves keeping track of personnel records, unit records, pay, et cetera.

Supply is who makes sure that the unit and personnel have needed items such as weapons, vehicles, 782 gear, et cetera. Heck, supply shop will even make sure that you have a barracks room and all the necessary furniture in that room.

I’m so sorry to upset your delicate sensibilities, I didn’t realize an error on my part would send you into such a tailspin. It is certainly unfeeling of me to not know that someone so perfect might dain themselves worthy of posting to a thread where they may encounter a member of the great unwashed. Kudos to you for coming out of your “safe space” to interact, snowflake. Now toddle back to the DU where the other perfect people reside

It is gross inaccuracies of the type you exhibited, which cause FR to be so easily lambasted as sites full of rumor spread by the uninformed.

Note that I pointed out the possibility that you just forgot to proofread.

Nukes are nothing to be careless with.

I realized my mistake this morning when another FReeper politely pointed it out, you would do well to take his example.

My guess is those nukes have been left in Turkey because they are intended to be used eventually. Look at the size of one of the car bomb explosions today that began the rebel offensive into the beseiged city of Aleppo.

You were in the Navy, so you should know that Female Marines do get assigned to groundside units. They don’t necessarily become riflemen, but rather are assigned to the unit’s S-1, S-2, S-3, and S-4 shops. The female recruits in your substandard meme didn’t necessarily enlist to become infantry. But then again, as a shipmate, you would know that already. And just for your info, the recruits in your wonderful meme are assigned to 4th Recruit Training Battalion, MCRD P.I., South Carolina.

Oh, I see, you are now conflating HQ staff clerks with combat infantry riflemen.

You are very confused about “reality.” Look it up. It’s in all the dictionaries.

I unlocked the trouble. In his/her world, clerk = combat.

LOL!

I broke off to go for a swim. After so many repetitions of the same smoke, I came to suspect such. Glad to you pried it out of him. Big tip off was the use of that word, meme. Think it might have a Bradley or a Lola?
