That phrase of "EOM is time to trip the wire.

When reading his "trip the wire" phrase and his reference to cave of darkness, it makes me think blackout - a massive coast to coast blackout.

I wondered about that, too. From earlier reports, they've moved people and things during blackouts.

I guess that post at 8:11pm,last night, was the last. I haven't read anymore over here and I can't check over there. I think someone would have posted here, had they said anything more. It was the 'time to trip the wire' post.

Does anyone know if there has been anything posted since then?

I searched google yesterday for that phrase and learned this.

It has been suggested that USAF pilots on patrol will often claim that "the wire has been tripped", the prelude to bombing, when RAF pilots have detected no threat.

And in that phrasing, "EOM" meaning -- end of month -- makes some sense.
