The winning cow is crowned during the Miss Milk Cow beauty contest in Moc Chau plateau, northwest of Hanoi October 15, 2015. The beauty contest selects cows with a solid torso, high legs and which provides the most milk. This year, 126 cows have been chosen for the contest among the 18,000 cows in Moc Chau. Miss Milk Cow beauty contest is organised at Moc Chau plateau for more than a decade to promote local dairy products as the diet of Vietnamese people rapidly changed with higher income. The winner this year is a five-year-old cow that weighs 710 kg and provides around 59.6 kg milk each day, nearly triple the average amount of milk produced by Vietnam's cows.

I guess Daniel Alan Bernath is afraid we’re going to mention his name in the weekend open thread

I gather the most relevant evidence of your and Sgt. Mark Seavey’s command and control of your gang members on the weekend posts.

So we’ll be commanding and controlling our gang members at the secret TAH. The code word for this weekend is “strut” Right 4 – Down 3. Check your CEOI.

Ten Bears sends us the challenge. Memorize it and then delete your webpage history;

This just in.

The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head. Again, the Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head. I think it is the start of a pretty big downer.

Plus there is some bulter-type guy saying about remembering the Time Warp and drinking those moments when the blackness would hit him and some void would be calling.

And don’t ask about the maid…she’s screwing the bird.

Sounds just Horror-able, Rocky. (smile)

That’s funny, I was just watching escape from L.A. the other day.

Do you guys ever use your computer to listen to Internet broadcasts of Old Time Radio programs?

As I’m typing this, I’m listening to an episode of an Armed Forces Radio broadcast, “G.I. JIVE”.

It’s neat!

There’s numerous web sites devoted to Old Time Radio programs, but the URL of the web site I’m currently listening to is:

http://www.conyersradio.net/

It’s a (I think) simul-cast of AM 600 and FM 89.9 in Conyers, Georgia.

When I was in Germany, I remember listening to the “FIFTEEN-OH-FIVE TO NASHVILLE” program at 1500 Hours every afternoon on AFRN.

My sergeant told me that the Air Force called their khaki uniform the “Fifteen-Oh-Five”.

I was a Private First Class in the United States Army, but had the good fortune to be stationed TDY on an Air Force base where life is GOOD!

I sent our beloved mentor a request, but I feel someone can help. I am in need of a Photoshop expert. It’s a Delta Romeo Charlie special tribute request. Who’s game?

Disregard earlier message. Issue has been addressed.

Looking at Daniel A. Bernath, not a CPO and never was of any kind, and his substandard performances in whatever he sets out to endeavor, it’s blatantly obvious that he’s a failure in real life. Look at his blog for example. A good way to describe his blog is to think of a car with its wheels rapidly spinning, with the car not going anywhere. Let’s look at his obsession with being called “chief” or of having the CPO title. Many veterans move on from their military experiences and succeed in their follow on endeavors. They are happy of the fact that they served, and don’t need to embellish their accomplishments, or to claim something, however, questionable, as something that they did. This is him trying to make up for what he knows is the case… him being a consistent failure in life. Those that come here to post know how much of a failure Daniel A. Bernath is. Look at the instances that lead to him being hammered for crashing his plane. Look at how he writes his lawsuits. He just pulls shit out of his ass, without regard for the facts. He, of all people, should know that the courts would want to weigh in on the facts. Even when it comes to being a “lawyer,” he can’t “lawer up” to save his own career, whatever is left of it. Here’s another example, picking on a judge and getting into an altercation with him, then causing a video to be made that’s a complete lie when it comes to that incident. Look at any of his attempts to do something, and you’ll see substandard performance. This is a reflection of his life accomplishments, and of what he has attempted to do in areas we haven’t observed him at. It’d be interesting to see what his evaluation reports say about him. Or, to hear what his shipmates would say about his performance on the ships they were on. The idiot doesn’t learn from his mistakes either. Again, Daniel A. Bernath was not a CPO, was never a chief in… Read more »

With the “resume” you just listed, I am surprised big VA (General Counsel) or VISN 19 (Regional Counsel) has not reached out to him.

He would fit right in with their legal staff.

Bobo

You forgot to mention his brief stint as one of the guys in a TSA uniform checking IDs and boarding passes. While I personally have nothing against TSA employees, I don’t think that many transition to that position after receiving a law degree and “practicing” as an attorney. Nothing says success like leaving a private law practice to jump into a $30K/yr service position without particularly arduous screening criteria.

HMCS (FMF) ret.

He also failed as a school bus driver… and a tour guide.

A Proud Infidel®™

You mean where he [allegedly] took the license plate from his car and put it on that shuttle van? I’m sure that carrying passengers for hire is something that requires a CDL with a Passenger Endorsement on it regardless if it has air brakes or not.

David

Who says this site isn’t educational? Up until now, I didn’t think TSA (Thousands Standing Around) had ANY screening criteria.

nbcguy54ACTUAL

Dan is definitely an overachiever in the Failure Department. At least he’s sticking with the one thing that he is good at.

You go Dan!

(to hell that is)

Bobo

What do you think the DRC would do if they found the TAH Darknet site with all of the really good stuff?

Silentium Est Aureum

I think the phrase “losing their shit” would be entirely appropriate.

Currahee John

The cartoon section is the best part!

Green Thumb

Pool their change and coerce or attempt to bring back Paul-mer (of the Ballsack) as their champion to level the playing field.

I missed the morning Cadre staff call. What are our orders from TAH 6?

CLAW131

Missed morning staff call?

Sorry,Sir,you know the only two excuses for that are either death or a Round Ranger sighting.

Your orders then include providing the Krispy Kremes for tomorrow’s staff call. Make mine glazed,not powdered.

That is unless the store shelves are bare due to a previously mentioned Round Ranger Raid.

sj

WILCO. Good timing cause Krispy Has a special deal today because the Panthers won. Hope Round hasn’t cleaned them out. I’m going to be on Rounds street soon for a LRRP.

Hondo

Going on a LRRP? Hmm.

Just don’t StArT tYpInG lIkE a TeEnAgEr ThRoWiNg A TaNtRuM afterwards . . . .

SuLLurRP RecOn HOtWaSh:

So here I am cruising on a major artery in Round’s AO and I’m passed by a red pickemup that has all kids of Army shit on the windows: Army B&W sticker, CIB, Army decal, Wings (I think), etc.

Whoa! The light changes and I hammer down to check out the front…no Ranger tag.

My bride says “that looks like the guy on the wanted poster”. I’m not so sure but it could be. Plus, the Pickemup was a damned nice one and the woman at shotgun didn’t look like a heifer and the shocks were not depressed. They turned and I couldn’t follow.

Coincidence is strong but not conclusive. The nagging thing is Round could never afford a truck like that.

A Proud Infidel®™

Maybe he’s been cashing in more empty beer cans than we thought?

CLAW131

If you are going on a LRRP, you’ll have to visit the old Supply Sergeant for some rations. Here are the meals available. Simply annotate a quantity required next to the meal to indicate your choices:

Beef Hash___
Beef&Rice___
Beef Stew___
Chicken&Rice___
Chicken Stew___
Chili Con Carne___
Pork&Scalloped Potatoes___
Spaghetti with Meat Sauce___

Note: All rations have been pre-screened and all Tropical Chocolate Bars have been pulled and been given a proper burial.

CLAW131

However, go easy on the quantities requested for the Beef Stew and Chili Con Carne.

Those are the Supply Sergeant’s personal favorites and if you request too many, he may have to break into his rat fuck stash to provide them to you.

So, don’t rile up the old Sarge if you don’t have to./Smile

This was a QrF LrRP mission so no rats needed. Plus, did a stealthy recce at the Icey Freeze https://www.facebook.com/DanBurgers ISO of Round. Round certainly knows this Lenoir burger Landmark so its like watching a baited station.

CLAW131

Roger, no rats needed. I can keep my stash at full stock levels.

BTW, is the Round Ranger more likely to be spotted paying for his meals at the front counter at the Icey Freeze or out back dumpster diving with his dependapotamus for their next meal?

Ex-PH2

What? No hot sauce? How are you gonna make Khe Sanh hash without it?

ATTENTION! The Mid-Atlantic drop point may have been compromised. Alternate site 8C2V is now the primary. I repeat. Alternate site 8C2V is now the primary. Date and time remain unchanged. Nothing follows.

We need more time to change codes. Give better advance on security issues!

Silentium Est Aureum

Master Chief, did you forget your Little Orphan Annie secret decoder ring again?!?!?

See, shit like this is why we can’t have nice things.

I’ll pick you up in the Batmobile at Gotham City Hall an hour after you flash the Batsignal. Again, one hour. Not two this time.

Then again, Peter Luger’s for dinner makes it worth being late. I’ll forgive you if you bring an extra bacon appetizer.

Exigent circumstance precluded more notice. Will detail through secure channel post drop. Out.

I thought we were supposed to say “OVER”, per Bernasty

Dammit! I was waiting for a pizza delivery! You guys can’t change the drop zone designation on me like that! D
o ANY of you have the faintest idea how hard it is to redirect a designated pizza delivery?

And which one of you is going to tip the driver?

They aren’t using those hot babes in short pants that you all like any more. Those girls earned enough money from you slavering sillies to go back east to school. Two of them are going to MIT.
