Be All That You Can Be!

From a recent Army recruitment ad.

I guess these folks must be stationed in Greenland or some other Godforsaken place.

Wherever they are, they're way too badbutt for me, and I'd definitely prefer

being a 'small part of what I can be'.

Desk job, please!

When I see pics like that I think, "oh to have so much serotonin".

Well, sometimes I have more patriotic thoughts also -- uniforms can make me bawl -- but no uniforms here.

That picture reminded me of the horror stories told by the teaching Pro(retired A.F. Colonel) at a Golf Course where I was superintendent . He was stationed at this wonderful place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thule_Air_Base

Thule is the location where the fastest recorded sea level surface wind speed in the world was measured when a peak speed of 333 kilometres per hour (207 mph) was recorded on 8 March 1972 prior to the instrument's destruction

750 miles north of the Arctic Circle!

Pearl Harbor it's not. ( :

I bet there was more destruction than just the instrument that particular day in Thule.

I do know that one enlisted man lost his legs to a flying piece of plywood but I do not believe it was even on that crazy day, I was told the crazy strong winds were a regular occurrence
