I visited Ty Wood's grave site today. It's not the first time I have been there but it is the first time I have taken a photo.
I am at Ft. Rosecrans National Cemetery often and I do not plan to let this brave man's death be forgotten.
A lot of men are lost in training during any exercise or expedition.
Maybe 5 out of a couple thousand.
But not 60%
A lot of people don’t realize how dangerous playing with big machinery in sketchy scenarios is, but by the same token, they do not understand the HUGE success rate.
Obama is killing these guys at a stunning rate.
Our guys do wonders when the politicians do not set the ROE.
A drunken swim in Hunauma bay could mess you up pretty good.
8 mile open swim off the coast of Hi?.
Not for me.
I am glad to hear the Cross at Mt Soledad still stands.
That is a brilliant inspirational overlook that any American should witness.
“Five Miles Out” por Mike Oldfield del álbum Five Miles Out.
Letra/Lyrics:
What do you do when your falling
You’ve got 30 degrees and you’re stalling out?
And it’s 24 miles to your beacon
There’s a crack in the sky and the warning’s out
Don’t take that dive again!
Push through that band of rain!
Five miles out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out
You’re Number 1, anticipating you
Climbing out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out
You’re Number 1, anticipating you
Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!
Calling all stations!
This is Golf-Mike-Oscar-Victor-Juliet
IMC CU. NIMB... icing
In great difficulty, over
The traffic controller is calling
“Victor-Juliet, your identity
I have you lost in the violent storm!
Communicate or squawk ‘Emergency’!”
Don’t take that dive again!
Push through that band of rain!
Lost in static, 18
And the storm is closing in now
Automatic, 18!
(Got to push through!)
Trapped in living hell!
Your a prisoner of the dark sky
The propeller blades are still!
And the evil eye of the hurricane’s
Coming in now for the kill
Our hope’s with you
Rider in the blue
Welcome’s waiting, we’re anticipating
You’ll be celebrating, when you’re down and braking
Climbing out
(Climbing, climbing)
Five miles out
(Climbing, climbing)
Five miles out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)
Five miles out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)
Climbing out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)
Five miles out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)
Climbing out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
(Climbing, climbing)
Climbing out
Just hold your heading true
Got to get your finest out...
Wouldn’t it be absolutely wonderful to serve under someone who went to hell for you? You know, you know that he would appreciate everything you do and would make sure that your sacrifice, as was his, is rewarded.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive Power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honor, and glory, and blessing. Revelation (find it—LOL)
Sound good?
Yup, ROE = Green on Blue attacks. The administration is green.
My mom is at Ft Rosecrans. Dad wanted his ashes spread at sea. A guided missile hydrofoil boat took him out. Fitting as that boat was a successor to his PGH1/PGH2 designs. Ty is in good company.
