Be All You Can Be?

Amazing how the Army’s new recruiting commercial is "do you seriously think you will ever have any other opportunity to own a home."



Or retire...

Sidebar: Now, when I joined the Navy it was not because of Ad influence, nor from family, but was from the ATF director of Texas region at the time. He was a good friend of my cousin in Texas who I was living with at the time and I had asked how do I get on your ATF team? He said, do a 4 year tour in the military, preferably with one of the special forces teams and then come see me. Ok, 2 weeks later I joined the Navy and went to SEAL BUDs training and quickly failed the swim & drown test. I was given the option to discharge now or pick another rating in the Navy. Still haven't learned my lesson I chose (unknowingly) the second hardest school which was combat computer electronics, followed by a NSA crypto school with the daily displeasure of strip searches by battle hardened US Marines & their mean mofo guardian dogs, which after 2.5 years I somehow passed and that set me on my career choice, which after I exited the Navy proved to be wise worthy choice. I never spoke to the ATF guy again.


Circling back to the War zone...

Meanwhile, "Phoenix Ghost" what an evocative program name, Air Force.

Guessing this was inspired by Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon, in which a player can use a drone with similar capabilities.

Meet ‘Phoenix Ghost,’ the US Air Force’s new drone perfect for Ukraine’s war with Russia

Earlier today, a senior defense official said the new drone “was rapidly developed by the Air Force in response, specifically, to Ukrainian requirements.” However, in a later briefing, Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby walked back that characterization, stating that the Phoenix Ghost was “developed before” Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine.

“It was developed for a set of requirements that very closely match what the Ukrainians need right now in Donbas,” he said.
