I cant wait to build a pi hole
IIRC there were two separate sides of the base. RTC on one side and NTC on the other. I seem to remember marching through a tunnel to go to classes.
If still so, I wonder what side he crashed.
Well at least you could club somebody with it.>>>>>>>
LOL!
Fix bayonets!
“Driver who stormed through gate at Great Lakes Naval Station in Illinois sparking a lockdown is an employee on the base who has authorized access”
He was a civilian employee, driving a black Camry, who didn’t stop at the gate and present his ID.
Nukes
I caught that too i figured she had enough problems so i ignored her
Hey! Do you want a shootout? Just have them all surrender and send them a pallet of cash./s
At about O-5 many start to think like politicians instead of military officers.
Still, an officer who values his career over the lives of his men, needs to go.

Things look quite a bit different these days at San Antonios Audie L. Murphy Memorial Veterans Hospital, dedicated in 1973 and named after the most decorated World War II soldier who died in a private plane crash in 1971.
Pam Murphy, Audies widow, attended the dedication ceremony and donated many cherished items to the VAs new facility built to care for the men and women following in Murphys footsteps as defenders of our freedoms.
In May 1975, the eight foot, one ton bronze statue of Murphy in battle dress designed by sculptor Jimilu Mason standing in front of the facility was dedicated. Over the past few years, the Murphy family, the Audie Murphy Foundation, the Audie Murphy- American Cotton Museum and the VA Historian have discussed methods to preserve the aging donated items in need of professional, museum quality care.
In January 2012, VA staff worked very closely with museum staff to relocate many artifacts such as the uniform shown in the photo, letters from Presidents, and various other prestigious medals and accolades. Professionals at the Audie Murphy/American Cotton museum in Greenville, Texas designed a special exhibit showcasing the valuable artifacts.
Of course, the bronze statue remains at the facility along with the original movie posters from Murphys successful Hollywood career which hang in the theatre inspired auditorium on the second floor of the facility.
While sending the artifacts to the museum in Greenville was bittersweet, it was essential to preserve these artifacts for future generations. Audie L. Murphys heroic spirit remains secure in the courageous men and women who defended our country and travel these hallways. And the artifacts now have a place of honor as well!
Looking at the date on this Article they must have FINALLY FINISHED the construction that was taking half the parking lot and forever to complete the whole time We were going for Chemo for My 2nd Wife.
That's great stuff. Good for you guys, and thank you for your service, also.
BTW, if sailors are so wimpy, why is it we keep kicking your butt in the Army/Navy game?
GO NAVY!
USS Indianapolis Discovery Spurs Relief, Concern from Survivors and Families
At 12:14 a.m. on July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in the Philippine Sea and sank in 12 minutes. Of 1,196 men on board, approximately 300 went down with the ship. The remainder, about 900 men, were left floating in shark-infested waters with no lifeboats and most with no food or water. The ship was never missed, and by the time the survivors were spotted by accident four days later only 316 men were still alive.
