| I believe in the principle of Due Process  |
Sittin here in Costco by Randolph AFB, an airman just walked passed me in maternity camo BDU. Who would have thought? Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

Saw plenty of it in the army in Germany in the 1990s. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation." Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II. | |||

I'm always curious when I hear the name of a military base I've not seen. I did a Google map - VERY INTERESTING building and road setup. https://www.google.com/maps/pl...324181!4d-98.2802362 | |||

When I was in the CG we had dark blue uniforms...the pregnant sailors looked like blueberries...hehehehe "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

Any idea who pollinated that "airman?"  BTW, Costco had Champion dual fuel 9,000 watt portable generators for $549 the other night. | |||

She wasn't really an airman, was she? | |||

I'm not really up on enlisted insignia and ranks other than Navy, but she might have been a Senior Airman or Staff Sergeant (E4 or E5). Not for long by the look of her.
