Weekend Open Thread
This week’s photo comes from The Other Whitey;
This photo popped up in the media a couple of days ago. You might have seen it. Two Firefighters and an Engineer from my department, the California Department of Forestry & Fire Protection AKA CalFire (I still call it CDF, as it was before 2006) on a structure protection assignment in central California are grabbing a homeowner’s US Flag to ensure that it will be saved if they lose the house. As I heard it, the house was protected successfully, so removing the flag and placing it in the engine was a precaution. I could be wrong about the successful outcome, that’s just how I heard it. Wasn’t there myself.
Hopefully some people might be reminded that while California does contain far too many anti-American hippies and Berkelyites, there’s lots of Americans here, too. I would also like to think it might make up a little bit for the valor-thief phony asshole who lied his way into a Firefighter-I slot with us last year.

Here’s an interesting ABCMR case related to former BG (retired as LTC) Jeffrey Sinclair: http://boards.law.af.mil/ARMY/BCMR/CY2017/20170001786.txt
Thanks, D. for sharing. It was very interesting to read. With all the backings of GOs, still can’t figure out why the Board disapproved her request, unless there is more to the story that is not being shared.
Wow so someone trying to do the right thing gets a kick in the ass
I’ve seen way to much of this my last few years in the army
Am I? First?
Second?
I see only one comment on top of me….
You’re number 158, you just need to click the “older comments” button to see them.
The False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress continues to work balls while avoiding queries seeking clarification of his Native American, Navy SEAL and Law Enforcement claims.
All the while sticking it the taxpayer as he and his company, All-Points Logistics, enter contracts based on his nefarious claims.
Maybe one Commissar knows the perps in the following story:

Sucks to be them right now… and I hope they’re praying to whatever God they may believe in. The Feds may take an interest in their cases….
A commentator was talking with AntiFa and during the conversation reminded the little jackass that if all Trump supporters are white supremacists as AntiFa claims, then white supremacists are an impressively diverse group of people these days. 🙂
Hand salute to WO1 Jay Aston, C Co 101 AHB, 101 Airborne.

Many years under the bridge since then. Perhaps one day we’ll see you come up on the DPAA recovered roster. Till then, Rest In Peace, Sir.
And Fat Albert is currently making circles in the sky getting the lay of the land.
Yep, that Squid Flying Club is scheduled to be in my AO this weekend.
So I guess we’ll see if the city organizers screw the pooch again this year like they did the last time the club was here seven years ago.
