Naval Expeditionary forces conduct training throughout the year, in the Indo-Pacific, to maintain readiness.

Twenty-two two-Soldier teams from all around the world traveled to Fort Hood, Texas to compete in the finals to be named the Army’s Best Medic. The competition is a 72-hour arduous test of the teams’ physical and mental skills. Competitors must be agile, adaptive leaders who demonstrate mature judgment while testing collective team skills in areas of physical fitness, tactical marksmanship, leadership, warrior skills, land navigation and overall knowledge of medical, technical and tactical proficiencies through a series of hands-on tasks in a simulated operational environment.

Hai Kathy! (((HUGS))) - weather is super, partly sunny, temps in the low 50’s.
Well it seems there’s a merger going on between Frontier and Spirit; not sure how my seniority will fit in like some captain from Spirit with more seniority will bump me out of my seat, then too, if I go back to first officer will some Spirit person bump me out of that seat and wind up being on reserve. If that happens, I’m going back to my bizjet company (who’s been begging me to come back) and fly out of Seattle.

Hiya radu!
Yes, it was 65 degrees today, most of our snow melted and it was short-sleeve weather which was wonderful!
Same tomorrow but we could still get snow this month, it's happened before when we thought we were sneaking into Spring early.

Our temps were close to the same today. It was 63 when I was out and about this afternoon. It was pretty breezy so a light jacket was needed. Still felt great!
There’s a slight chance for snow flurries here over the weekend. It’ll be cold enough but the cold front will be a pretty dry one.
Spring’s still a ways off unfortunately. We could both see a little more snow before all’s said and done. boohiss

Hey there, radu!
Yes, it’s been really nice. And will be till I don’t know when. Supposed to be 72 on Friday. Spring has sprung? Or just continuing?
I’m so glad that you’re having beautiful weather, too. It’s about time after all the cloudy, gloomy, rainy weather you’ve been having.

Ooooooo! 72 sounds splendid! We won’t be quite that warm but will have mid to upper 60s to enjoy after a dip to mid 50s tomorrow. Then the bottom drops out this weekend. *sigh* Our roller coaster ride continues.
At least we have sunshine most of the time and that’s a plus.

Hi Kathy!
We had a nice 65 degree day so most of the snow melted, YAY!
More warm weather expected but it's still too many weeks until Spring to get too excited, old man winter could still come on with a vengeance!

Well, get out there and enjoy all that sunshine as much as you possibly can! It will make you happy to feel it on your face.
I wonder if there are any really cold fronts left for us. It just seems we get a tease of cold and then it passes.
I know another FReeper who is in CA, and she has the same feeling about summer as I do. If we don’t get some cold for contrast, then the summer seems to go on forever!

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
We made it through hump day. Are you warming up some? Hope your week has gone as planned.

I’ll be out and about the next two days, that’s for sure. LOL
No telling if there’ll be any more cold fronts that go through your area. You DO live pretty far south. :-) Too bad you’re pretty much stuck there. It really is nice to live where we have four seasons.
It’s pretty brisk outside tonight. I just came in from moving some stuff out of the garage to a shed out back and brrrrrr!
