USS John C Stennis in Pacific, May 2009
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/sub1/JohnCStennis-pacif09.jpg
From a US Navy manual-
"An aircraft carrier's flight deck has been called the second most dangerous place on earth to work, and rightly so. [A strong claim for first most dangerous place would be a crab fishing ship, in winter, in the Bering Strait.] As many as 44 aircraft and 200 men are crammed onto little more than four acres of hardened steel armor plate. Searing jet exhaust can cook a man or blow him overboard. At times the air is so hot that he can't breathe. Jet intakes can pull a man off his feet and devour him. An unwary sailor can fall prey to a spinning propeller's razor-sharp, invisible arc. On the flight deck men move in many different directions in what appears to the uninitiated observer to be chaotic. Yet nothing is as organized as the flight deck of a US Navy carrier. It's like an orchestra, with each section devoted to performing a part of the overall symphony of carrier operations."
PS- note the crewmen on the flight deck, their various functions are identified by the colors they wear: yellow for officers and aircraft directors; purple for fuel handlers; green for catapult and arresting gear crews; blue for tractor drivers; brown for chock and chain runners; and red for crash and salvage teams and the ordnance handlers.

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/sub1/new_military_uniform-06.jpg
Caption-"After years of complaints from the troops, the U.S. Army has a new combat uniform. There will be only one color scheme (light green, tan and gray) for this uniform (instead of the current two, one for deserts and the other for temperate climate zones). The new uniform also includes tan combat boots (that cannot be shined, you just brush the crud off them). There is no black in the uniform, because it was pointed out that black is not a color you encounter much in nature.
Officially called the ACU (Army Combat Uniform), the major changes are all responses to numerous requests from the troops. These changes include;
Mandarin (high) collar that can be worn up or down. When worn up, this keep crud from getting down inside the shirt, and eliminates chafing from the protective vest.
Rank insignia can be attached above the right chest pocket with Velcro.
Velcro is also used for attaching the unit patch, skill tabs and recognition devices. This spares troops the hassle of sewing on, and later removing, patches. The Velcro also allows all the patches and such to be removed before the uniforms are sent to the laundry.
Zippered front on the shirt, which is easier to close than buttons.
Elbow pouch for internal elbow and knee pad inserts. The introduction of knee and elbow pads in the 1990s saved thousands of infantry troops from painful, and sometimes permanent, injuries. Infantry spend a lot of time getting down on elbows and knees, especially in combat. The inserts are cheaper and easier to use than the more traditional elbow and knee protectors similar to those you see in sporting goods stores.
Elastic leg cuff, a useful item for keeping the crud out when you are in the field.
Tilted chest pockets with Velcro closure. Makes the pockets easier to use when wearing your webbing gear.
Three-slot pen pocket on bottom of sleeve. Again, convenience.
Velcro sleeve cuff closure. Keeping the crud at bay once more.
Shoulder pockets with Velcro. When troops are wearing their webbing gear and packs, shoulder pockets are the only ones you can get at easily.
Forward tilted cargo pockets. Again, convenience.
Integrated blouse bellows for increased upper body mobility. Again, convenience.
Integrated Friend or Foe Identification Square on both left and right shoulder pocket flap. This is a current method for making it easier to avoid friendly fire incidents. The Velcro makes it easy to take these patches off at night, when they tend to make the troops more visible.
Bellowed calf storage pocket on left and right leg. Again, convenience.
Moisture-wicking desert tan t-shirt. Troops have been buying these with their own money for years.
Patrol Cap with double thick bill and internal pocket. Complaints about the fragile bill, and troops sewing pockets into the cap led to this.
Improved hot-weather desert boot or temperate-weather desert boot. Many complaints and recent experience in Afghanistan and Iraq .
During development, three different versions of the ACU were created and over 10,000 uniforms were manufactured and tested in Iraq and at Army training centers. Hundreds of changes were made in response to soldier comments. While the new uniform looks ugly to many civilians, it’s very comfortable. This is partly do to the bagginess. But in combat, the troops prefer loose and comfortable to tight and fashionable. Troops will begin getting the new uniform in 2005, and all will have it by 2007"

Enver Hoxha was the leader of Albania from 1945 until his death in 1985. He was obsessed with the idea of attack from outside and built over half a million pillboxes and small bunkers designed to allow the Albanians to defend their nation from attack.

The lines shown are the re-entry vehicles -- one Peacekeeper can hold up to 10 nuclear warheads, each independently targeted. Were the warheads armed with a nuclear payload, each would carry with it the explosive power of twenty-five Hiroshima-sized weapons.

I loved those old O.D uniforms. When I got to Ft. Bliss in March of 87 they issued us two sets from CIF. They were free and when we tore them up we could DX them. Not to mention the fact that they looked sharp. You could press them until they had a crease like a razor.

When I went to Parris Island in 1976, we were wearing the old time straight leg OD utilities. We wore them throughout Boot Camp. Shortly after getting out of Boot, they started phasing in the rip-stop woodlands. Hated them. Few things a Marine likes more than looking good in a uniform. You couldn't starch them, you could barely press them. I didn't switch to them until I had no choice.

16 inch guns, truly awesome. As a Forward Observer I was lucky enough to work with the USS Iowa several times on Viegues Island off of Puerto Rico. We got to call fire missions as well as tour the ship while it was live firing.
It was during one of these exercises off Viegues that the Iowa had the tragic explosion in one of its gun turrets.

Dec 2010- Sixteen GR9 Harrier aircraft are pictured flying in a diamond formation to mark the retirement of the famous aircraft after 41 years of service.
A formation of 16 Harriers took off from RAF Cottesmore and took to the skies of Lincolnshire.
Brought into service in 1969 and well known for its role in the Falklands War, the Harrier went on to serve in many other conflicts including in Bosnia and Iraq in the 1990s.
The RAF and Royal Navy Harrier squadrons joined forces in 2000 to form Joint Force Harrier, based at RAF Cottesmore. These combined Harrier squadrons served in Sierra Leone, the second Gulf War and most recently Afghanistan.

Javelin AT-missile
http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g64/PoorOldSpike/sub4/Javelin_Launch.jpg
Impressive size of this missile, not you POS?
The Javelin missile uses a dual charged warhead. The warhead has a precursor charge and main charge.
The precursor charge is a HE anti-tank shaped charge. Its purpose is to cause reactive armor on the target to detonate before the main charge reaches the armor. Once the reactive armor is penetrated, the target's main hull is exposed to the warhead's main charge. If the target is not equipped with reactive armor, the precursor provides additional explosives to penetrate the main armor.
The main charge is the second charge of a dual-charge warhead and is also an HE antitank shaped charge. The primary warhead charge is designed to penetrate the target's main armor to achieve a target kill.
