“The Floggings Will Continue Until Morale Improves”
Sometimes you get the bear….
Y’know how some days just don’t seem to get any better? No matter what ya do, God seems to be tapping you on the shoulder saying “I tried to tell you to stay in bed. But oh, no, you had to come to work.” There’s a team in Israel probably thinking something along those lines. […]
DOGE cuts impact Ft. Greeely chow
Where is Ft. Greely? Try back-of-beyond, Alaska. NNE of Anchorage in that largely empty part of the map… yeah, not someplace people flock to – unless they are under orders. 350 or so permanent party, more when some of the frequent exercises take place there. I looked it up on Wikipedia, and it is a […]
Shutdown and Money
We’d better hope the pols in DC get their acts together. An update on the Defense Commissary Agency (DECA): Some military leaders are telling their troops to prepare for their on-base commissaries to close by early December if the government shutdown continues. As many as 168 locations at bases across the continental U.S. could be […]
Mixed Legal News
Let’s start with the good news. The 9th Circuit Court (erroneously often described as “the most reversed Circuit”) actually got one right. Had to happen someday, hmm? In 2016, California voters approved a ballot measure to strengthen the state’s already stringent gun laws, including a requirement for background checks on all ammunition purchases. However, […]

Good news and bad news
First, take a minute of silence – it’s September 11th and while many seem to have happened 24 years ago today, we at TAH have not and will not. Remember the immortal words of George Santayana – “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Moving on to more current things […]
What post name? What day is it?
Just when you thought you had a handle on what bases were named what, BRAC the post renaming committee changed everything and the old names like Ft. Hood, Ft. Benning, etc. had to be renamed to something less politically volatile than the surname of a long dead guy who fought on the wrong side. Originally […]
Sgt Maj of the USMC shoves his foot square in his mouth
There are few photos of soldiers that are as instantly recognizable as Audie Murphy wearing the coat full of medals he earned for his legendary service during World War II. Murphy’s exploits in earning ours and allied nations’ highest honors were so over the top that they made a movie about it. Of course, the […]
