There is no doubt at all in my military mind that, of all the Services, the Air Force has the most intelligent enlisted people. This is not just theory, it’s provable fact and this is one of the many reasons I joined the Air Force:
Take the Army, for instance. When the stuff hits the fan, the young Army private wakes up from a bellow from the First Sergeant. He grabs a set of BDUs out of his foot locker, gets dressed, runs down to the chow-hall for a breakfast on the run, then jumps in his tank. Pretty soon, the Platoon Commander arrives, gives him a big salute, and says, “Give ‘em Hell, men.”
Now take the Marines. When the stuff hits the fan, the young Marine recruit is kicked out of bed by his First Sergeant, puts on a muddy set of BDUs because he just got back in from the field three hours before. He gets no breakfast, but is told to feel free to chew on his boots. He runs out and forms up with his rifle. Pretty soon, his platoon commander comes out, a young Captain, Gives his Marines a Sharp Salute, and says, “Give ‘em Hell, Marines!” Continue reading…
I was watching Diggnation episode 160, when Kevin and Alex were talking about the pictures of the B2 bomber crash. The show featured cool planes and Area 51, they discussed how cool would it be to go to area 51 to see the development and to test our experimental aircraft and weapons systems.
I figured that Whiteman Air Force Base can provide that because we have the B2. Diggnation have millions of subscribers and if they tape an episode with the bird it will help increase the public’s awareness of the capabilities, history or mission of the Air Force.
With the help of public affairs or USAF entertainment liaison we can tape an episode of Diggnation with the B2 but with my upcoming deployment I’m not going to have enough time to talk to the right people, prepare the paper work, and schedule this event. Kevin and Alex cannot show up whenever we want to and also our B2’s have real world missions to fulfill so we really need to plan this out but not til I get back from deployment. Continue reading…
Software developer Armin Heinrich, has released an application for the iPhone that does pretty much nothing. The “I am rich” app does nothing, it displays a red ruby. This app has no function but to display your wealth to others like a jerk, and costs $999.99. It has since been removed from the App Store. (via Wired)
Here’s my opinion…. I would never spend a $1000 on an iPhone app, especially if its just for “status quo” having a $1000 iPhone app is like driving a Lamborghini or wearing a Versace shirt, it shows that you have the money and you can afford it. But a $1000 for an app is too much, especially if it does nothing some apps on the Apple app store can cost from $1.99 to $9.99 but some people still complain about it. If you bitch about a $9.99 app, you shouldn’t have an iPhone same as buying an SUV and can’t afford gas for it.
