I was stationed at Huachucha for three weeks back in the fall of ‘69. I wonder how the trees we planted are doing?.......Rockiest soil I’ve ever dug unto....LOL!

President Trump in an “Independence Day” scenario:

He has a head of one of the aliens on the Resolute Desk as he addresses the nation to describe how we won.

President Obama:

His head is on the Resoute Desk as an alien describes how they won and now are our new overlords.

Calechi is strong. If the Jews had used it to make the bricks in Egypt, then the bricks would still be good. ( I don’t need no straw to make bricks, I got Caleci. )

Judd Hirsch is 81. All the guys in the photo with him are about 60 years younger.

So does Goldbloom force their computers to upgrade to Windows10 to “take em out, do your thing”.

Judd Hirsch gets an explanation about an Unmanned Aircraft System form SFC Olson at Libby Army Airfield during Tuesday's tour of Fort Huachuca.



"Independence Day: Resurgence" cast member Jessie T. Usher gets to try out a flight simulation system during a tour of Fort Huachuca on Tuesday. LeeAnn Thies Each is designed to view manned or unmanned surveillance platforms, Major explained, with a targeting laser to guide any necessary munitions. The aircraft are controlled by someone on the ground “with a mouse and keyboard.” “It can fly for 18 hours straight before it needs to come back and refuel,” Major added. “With the camera payload, you have a very, very sophisticated and high-end camera along with infrared capabilities.”

Apple virus. Which was one of the things people in software complained about, at that point in networking history getting Apples to talk to anything but each other was a nightmare, but Goldblum whipped up an interface during the flight.

I remember it because that was the early days of internet nitpicking with movies (very early days when nobody grabbed stills and everything had to be described). I don’t think I actually noticed while watching the movie, but the nitpick lists ALL did.

[luvie]

Awesome! Would they let you go if you wanted to?

[SandRat]

Don’t know

[SandRat]

We’re such a far-flung and little & Know nothing remote place. <sarc

Was there from Aug 68 thru Sep 69 when I was discharged. Had my radio training there in 67. Was in on post housing in the old calvary enlisted housing area, hard to plant anything and the rattlers would stay by the foundations, was always calling MPs to kill them. Memorable place. Worked at a monitoring station miles off the main airbase road tracking and monitoring NASA Apollo flights. Just a concrete bunker type building with antenna arrays all over.

When I completed my AIT at Ft. Gordon, I received orders for Seoul, Korea. However, those were cancelled and I was kept at Gordon for several more weeks additional communications center training.

After a short leave, we were to report to Huachucha. I don't know why, I guess it was just to hold us over till we received our permanent orders. Anyway, they put me and my buddies up in a barracks and for 3 weeks all we did was fall out for formation in the morning and a sergeant would come by and start picking guys for various details around the base.

For the first few days some of us just dug holes for the planting of trees then one day I was picked to go help out in the supply room. The sergeant there said he could use me on a daily basis and to just report in the mornings without going thru the formation. That was fine with me because that hole digging was hard work.........LOL!
