I’ve got a son in SF and he says they are doing too many things in too many places and are just stretched too thin.

This clearly shows a dire need for more pregnancy simulators and more high red high heel shoes for “walking a mile in her shoes”.

Its very clear.

More homo training..!!

Back in the 90’s I had an appointment at a house that adjoined Ft. Bragg very close to an artillery range.

As I was exiting the car a gun went off a short distance away through the woods. The volume and shock was incredible. I nearly crapped myself and was frozen until I saw the people I was meeting out front carrying on a conversation as if nothing happened at all.

Same as always. Under trained and over worked soldiers and sailors doing more with less. Accidents are bound to happen. Most military people don’t stay in more than one or two enlistments. For example, many of the sailors not assigned to the USS Gerald R Ford will rotate off sea duty before it ever goes on its first deployment in a couple of years meaning that new, inexperienced sailors will take their place.

It does sound like an artillery incident at this time. Prayers for our soldiers.

And the mandatory sequestration cuts hurt a lot.

The Military is a dangerous occupation.

Even in the 1980’s we would kill or maim about 2,000 soldiers a year. Lack of proper training and supervision can increase those number but when you “play” with explosives, tanks, missiles, and guns, the chances of getting injured are much higher than the normal desk job.
