(WICKED) THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Thrift is a wonderful virtue -- in an ancestor.
|
|
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY
1869 The Suez Canal opened; known as "the ditch" to U.S. Armed Forces, the 101-mile waterway provides passage from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea
|
|
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY
1913 The Panama Canal opened (unofficially); the 51-mile waterway cuts through the isthmus of Panama, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. President Teddy Roosevelt played a central role in making the canal a reality, for he recognized the significant economic and military advantage that the Atlantic-Pacific passage would provide the U.S.; the American Society of Civil Engineers declared the canal one of the modern "seven wonders of the world."

Good Evening troops!! Good Evening everyone! Here is today's humor attempt!
A police officer in a small town stopped a motorist who was speeding down Main Street.
"But, officer," the man began, "I can explain"
"Just be quiet," snapped the officer. "I'm going to let you cool your heels in jail until the chief gets back."
"But, officer, I just wanted to say"
"And I said to keep quiet! You're going to jail!"
A few hours later the officer looked in on his prisoner and said, "Lucky for you that the chief's at his daughter's wedding. He'll be in a good mood when he gets back."
"Don't count on it," answered the fellow in the cell. "I'm the groom."

Staff Sgt. Norman L. Carey, noncommssioned officer in charge of Catfish Air, helps a customer plan future space available flights.

Catfish Air Helps Service Members, Civilians Travel Efficiently
By Spc. Steven J. Schneider, 28th Public Affairs Detachment
LOGISTICS SUPPORT AREA ANACONDA, Balad, Iraq, Nov. 16, 2004 Seven soldiers of Catfish Air organize space available helicopter flights for about 6,000 people a month here. The flights travel all around the Iraqi theater and save millions of dollars a month by maximizing the helicopter space, said Staff Sgt. Norman L. Carey, 185th Aviation Brigade, noncommssioned officer in charge of Catfish Air.
Organized Space A flights werent available in March when Carey and one other soldier started scheduling people. The service came about to maximize space on flights in theater. Eight months later, the service has grown to where its an essential part of operations on LSA Anaconda.
Before, those wishing to travel had to put in an Air Mission Request, which would take 48 to 72 hours to be approved, or they would have to convoy. Space A allows people to travel with about 24 hours notice.
Without this service, we cant do business, said frequent flier, Jeff Soule, who works as what he calls a combat travel agent here. Soule said he does about 75 percent of his traveling through Space A.
Theyre good, theyll actually take care of you, he said.
