BAE UK sticks in the knife...Boeing will win the Tanker contract.
Talk about a mis-timed announcement. This is BAE UK and the British government twisting the knife they just stuck in our backs....read it here....
Samlesbury, UK – BAE Systems has formally opened a new state-of-the-art titanium machining facility at its Samlesbury site in Lancashire. The robotic facility will be used to manufacture detail and assembly components of the Aft Fuselage, Vertical Tail and Horizontal Tail for the F-35 Lightning II combat aircraft, further reinforcing BAE Systems’ key role in the world’s largest defence programme.What an arrogant bunch of bastards these guys are. First you reduce your buy to less than that of Tier 2 partners and then you brag about your share of the work??????
Congratulations, you just guaranteed Boeing a win in the Tanker contract.
Headquarters Marine Corps...1st MEF (Forward)...Wake the HELL UP!!!!
Battle Rattle published some pictures that I can't object to strongly enough. They show the moments before and after the death of a Marine Corps NCO.
How these pictures made it into the public realm is beyond me but if anything in this war should be censored then its the showing of a young Marine in a poncho with his buddies saying good-bye to him.
Battle Rattle is wrong...but they're journalist and I assume don't know any better. Headquarters Marine Corps and 1st MEF (Forward) are professionals. They have no excuse. Get off your ass Senior Leadership and start yanking film.

airmen will practice combat operations in the Santa Rosa Sound.
Classic SeaBee's! LOVE IT!
I hope everyone is ok, but this pic just confirms that the SeaBee heritage live on. One question though...and I hope a SeaBee can answer this. Why don't they have magazines in those weapons???
