What A Mascot!!

U.S. Air Force 2nd Lt. Nathan Lovewell, 35th Logistics Readiness Squadron (LRS) asset management officer in charge, poses for a photograph in front of a mural of the 35th LRS mascot at Misawa Air Base, Japan, Feb. 3, 2025. Lovewell serves as a logistics readiness officer at Misawa Air Base, just as his father did 22 years ago, striving to improve the 35th LRS and ensure it maintains operational readiness.

Working Together!

Service members from the U.S. and Republic of Korea participate in the culminating event of Backbone University 2025 at Camp Humphreys, South Korea, Feb. 7, 2025. Enlisted leaders from the U.S. and ROK joined together to train, validate and elevate the combined lethality and capability of the ROK-US alliance by providing participants with an understanding of joint operations and their function in a joint environment.

Snow in Mississippi?

Snow covers the empty Crotwell Track and pavilion during Winter Storm Enzo on Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi, Jan. 21, 2025. Daily operations and services for the local communities surrounding Keesler came to a halt as offices closed to ensure the safety of personnel in a location without infrastructure to clear roads.

Thanks for staying on top of it.

[luvie]

Awww....I never got the text. The last one I had from you was dated on 1-31. Hmmm.....
Anyhow, I think they finally hid mine. With any luck. I really didn’t mean to step on your work. :)

[PROCON]

Hi Kathy, thanks for remembering and honoring our awesome Troops tonight!

[radu]

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

I figured since the other thread was pulled, I'd post this again.

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

Hump Day! And a pretty one up there, other than the short time the mountains shot a fog bank down across the city.

We’re swampy down here. Pretty much non-stop rain the past two days. We needed some but not all at once. LOL

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, spel, and thanks for the tunes. ((HUGS))

Good evening, radu... thanks for posting twice

Are you getting GOOD rain?

No snow here at all. *sigh*

[radu]

No full moon viewing for me tonight. :-( I’m still socked in with cloud cover and rain.

[radu]

He there Kathy!

GOOD rain is an understatement. LOL It’s been pretty much non-stop yesterday and today. BIG puddles all over the place and ditches are full. We needed this so bad but maybe not so much all at once. More coming through this weekend with severe weather expected.

I keep hoping to see snow on the cam up there but nope. Someone did post that it’s expected sometime soon though. You need it with the cold you’re having now.

This Is Who You Are

You are incredibly sexy. There's no way you could hide it, so you just flaunt it. You are a naturally talented flirt. You make everyone feel fascinating and attractive. You have a wild streak. You like to have fun, and your idea of fun is pretty outrageous. You dare to be yourself and live life courageously. People respect you for it. You are totally spontaneous and unpredictable. Even your best friend doesn't know what you'll be up to next.

You are full of joy and enthusiasm for life. You love adventures, and you always want to include your friends in your plans. You are usually the one who brings the fun. Nothing can be boring when you're around. You are flexible and easygoing. You're willing to go along with almost anything! You are an amazing friend - you are the perfect mix of fun and loyalty.

You believe in yourself and in others. You think the world is a bright and brilliant place. You are a positive thinker and a total optimist. You believe it's important to dream big. You are very liable and charming. People know they're going to have a blast when you're around.

You Are an Adventurous Valentine Your heart soars whenever you have the chance to do something new, and that goes double for Valentine's Day. You would love excitement and novelty to celebrate this special day. You especially love surprises! Your ideal Valentine's Day is unconventional, quirky, and not traditionally romantic by any means. You don't like a lot of pressure on V-Day.

You just want to have some fun! Compared to most people, you are very active and energetic. You have a daring, challenging spirit. You're willing to go into something blind. You are playful, carefree, and optimistic. You are up for trying anything. If you dream it, you usually end up doing it. You're not one for putting your dreams on hold.

You are down to earth, well grounded, and practical. Some may even call you sensible. You say what you mean and you mean what you say. You're straight shooting and honest. It's likely that you're more of a productive type than a creative type. You enjoy working hard. You live in the now and enjoy every moment. You appreciate what you've got, and you're also very humble about what you deserve.

~ Live your life in such a way that the Westboro church will want to picket your funeral ~

~ Have A Nice Day!!! ~
