Ready for Everything!

The TRAP exercise showcased advanced trauma life support capabilities and evaluated the platoon’s rapid response and recovery tactics of downed aircraft, personnel and equipment in isolated locations. The America Amphibious Ready Group (ARG), comprising amphibious assault carrier USS America (LHA 6), amphibious transport dock ship USS San Diego (LPD 22), and amphibious dock landing ship USS Rushmore (LSD 47) along with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), are underway conducting routine integrated operations in U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations.

#3...Huskrrr!!

[radu]

Supper’s almost ready. Just waiting for the timer to go off. Had to get a shower first so supper’s a little late, and I’m hungry!

[luvie]

Bet you are hungry! It’s later for you and I’m just now eating. LOL!

[radu]

The timer went off right after I posted. My plate’s almost empty now. LOL

Hi Everybody!

(((HUGS)))

[luvie]

Hi there, ML! Is it warming up there any at all?

[luvie]

I had to get something else. The first thing I heated was some beef soup from a restaurant that hubby likes, but it was WAAAY to hot with peppers. I couldn’t tolerate it so I got something milder. I’m a pepper wuss! LOL!

[left that other site]

Oh yes...in the 50’s and the ice is melting!

But then the meltwater freezes up at night.

It’s tricky...

[radu]

I can’t eat pepper at all, not even a little black pepper in a dish. One bite lights me up.
I hope whatever you settled for absorbs some of the heat from the soup.

I was lazy and just threw a pan of fish and chips in the oven. Sitting comfortably now. :-)

[luvie]

I guess the answer is...sleep in till the stupid ice is melted. THEN get out! 🤣
