Night Ops

This is about what it’s like under NVGs.  That is if we were actually flying these days.

I’m Smitten And I Can’t Get Up

I’m sure some of you will roll your eyes commenting on the fact that I’m coming to the table late on this one, but then my question to you is this: why didn’t you ever mention anything about Feist to me?  I stumbled into her quite randomly over the weekend on another site.  Not only do her songs strike a chord, but you can tell she’s having fun with the videos:

Anyone else notice the continual shot?  No?  Then watch this one:

But you take your song and rewrite it for Sesame Street and you have my heart: signed, sealed and delivered.

And Connelly, you can shut it, I already know she’s Canadian.  Ok, I’ll shut up now.

Yahtzee!

You want the good news or the bad news first?

Screw it, like you thought this was a choose your own adventure deal or something.  You get the good first!

I didn’t get put on hold for the final phase of Blackhawks.  We found out tonight and in typical Army tradition, started things at 7 pm taking an operator’s manual test and sitting through all the in-brief crap.  Did I mention tonight is Friday?  And I just got out of there at 10?  And there are still people finishing the test?  Guess, I can’t complain, the light is suddenly growing at the end of the tunnel.

Oh yeah, the bad news.  This is the night phase.  Means night vision goggles.  They don’t mix too well with a camera’s flash, so you’re probably not going to see a lot of photos this time around.  I know, I know, it sucks but there isn’t much I can do.  Sorry!
