    They need little yellow and blue tails. Ever see a really large school of anchovies while diving off SOCAL??? Wow.

    The Great Flight Jacket Thread (wearing/buying Leather, NOMEX, WEP jackets/patches)

    I decorated my very first issue flight jacket from 1985 with patches. I eventually traded it in for a larger size. Remember I was a svelte 38R back then at age 23. The jacket I received is made in the USA by a company called Excelled. I never put any patches on it as I didn't want any holes in...

    Preserving Your Navy Photos

    I have seen CDs start to peel and flake...on the writeable side. So that would not be my long term permanent storage solution. The number of times you can write to a flash drive is in the millions...I would not worry about that point of failure on a good drive (ie. SanDisk).

    Routine Back up to a flash drive in 8GB or greater is a good idea. No moving hardrives or parts. I'd expect greater capacity flash drives inthe near future. As HJ said, creating a filing method now will save countless headaches later.

    Naval Academy fights booze...

    There was a rule that said no one was allowed out on the roof ledges. After the first mishap while I was at USNA it was reinforced. Then it happened again. They both broke the rules. What does "with no safety mean?" I'm being sarcastic here, but is equipping every mid with a rock climbing...

    Unfortunately it does have bearing on that. You know as well as I do how alcohol can lower inhibitions and make people do things they never think of doing on Monday morning when sober. Lowered inhibitions result in: Drinking and driving, huge bar tabs (:o), STDs, unwanted pregnancies, sexual...

    So, if you drink, get drunk and crawl out onto a ledge 60 feet up for a smoke or to make a phone call, is it just an accident or is it stupidity? Or is it a drunken mishap caused by a person who was "taught" personal responsibility in GMT and SMT, and drank to excess anyways? I believe the...
