Kearsarge Conducts Flight Operations
 |
| An AV-8B Harrier attached to Marine Attack Squadron 542 prepares to take-off from the flight deck of the Wasp-class amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) April 19, 2021. Kearsarge, homeported at Naval Station Norfolk, is underway to certify for operations at sea. |
Shoot for the HIMARS
 |
| U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Autumn Becker, a native of Douglass, Pa., and a field artillery cannoneer with 1st Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment, 2d Marine Division (2d MARDIV), loads a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System with 227mm rockets during Exercise Rolling Thunder 21.2 on Fort Bragg, N.C, April 18, 2021. This is a live-fire artillery exercise where 10th Marines employed distributed fires via simulated Expeditionary Advanced Bases (EAB’s). The training increased 2d MARDIV’s combat readiness against a peer competitor. HIMARS are an advanced long-range and mobile rocket system that allow 2d MARDIV to employ precision fires onto a target. |

Some details you just say NOPE!
First an explanation.
A detail is an extra job, usually security that LEOs in my area do for a bit of play money. Most are 12 hr gigs and decent paying.
But all money ain't good money.
Once bitten twice shy.
Which brings me to Mudfest.
Got a HUGE rainstorm last night. Bright, sunny and hot today. No mudfest last year so we're looking at pent up demand.
I saw a rig this morning with 4 atvs on the back and a side by side. I looked at a civilian in line with me at the convenience store, he looked at me and I said Mudfest.
His reply?
Yep. I'm looking at the minimum of 4 broken collar bones, broken axles and major repair bill to the truck towing all that cause the idiot will probably put it in the mud too (looked like a 2018 Chevy Silverado with a 6 in lift).
Sounds tame?
Nope. That's during daytime.
When night hits and those chics start flashing tits, the rednecks start showing off for the female they're trying to bed and that liquid courage kicks in after a full day of drinking and being 2 years old you have hell-a-coming.
There will be more fights, public intox etc that they have a mobile booking area setup to handle the load.
This is a detail you say NOPE to...500 dollars ain't worth it.
When you're doing "no carb" and you start lusting after something sweet...

Basic Recovery After Attack training
 |
| U.S. Marines with the Damage Assessment Team assigned to Marine Wing Support Squadron (MWSS) 172 inspect for simulated runway damage while conducting a Basic Recovery After Attack (BRAAT) training event during a Marine Corps combat readiness evaluation (MCCRE) held by MWSS-172 on Ie Shima training facility, Okinawa, Japan, April 16, 2021. The MCCRE creates a challenging, realistic training environment that produces combat-ready forces capable of operating as a deployed unit at any time. |
Thought the EABOs would survive by not being detected. If so then this skill is irrelevant.
If it is necessary then how the fuck are Marines gonna survive to repair an airfield after a Chinese bombardment?
Additionally they might want to consider adding EOD to the mix. I bet those missiles will be followed up with missiles containing anti-personnel bomblets/mines.
The biggest winner in Berger's Folly? The wing. Missile artillery. Logistics. The main problem?
The USMC will no longer be a warfighting organization. It can't conduct amphibious assaults within the enemies engagement zone but it can LIVE there? Batshit crazy thinking.
This squiddie is my hero!
I wish they would have attached a name. Whoever this bubba is, he's my hero! Love it!In the 1950s, a former sailor forged documents and spent years passing himself off as a USAF officer. He managed to go through jet training, get assigned to Bermuda as liaison to the Royal Navy, and become XO of Williams Air Force Base before being exposed. #SeaStorySaturday pic.twitter.com/DJADWuRow8
