Nicet, I'll have to check that out some day. Wonder how many Engina machines are out there, seeing one at the Fort Huachuca MI museum was pretty neat. I recall it being on loan from the NSA museum.
They've got an enigma at Blechely Park, too. And a lot of other fascinating stuff, including a fully operational Collosus (which is pretty awesome to watch run).

Click for big




Enigma wasn't entirely a German invention; the US Navy was using very similar machines since the early 30s, as well.

Don't care honestly. I'm not gonna rationalize poo poo, doesn't make sense anyway. It's a relatively positive show, and it makes me giggle just like Adventure Time, Regular Show, or Squidbillies.

From what I understand it's just a mirror/periscope to give the pilot a view of his rear since the MiG-21 has basically no rearward visibility.

That makes more sense. It looks like a MiG-21 and I'm not sure if they can even carry the Archer

If they really love the idea of what a court martial will do to their future, sure.

In Norway, and probably most other countries with "universal" conscription, it's normal to attach your final evaluation to any job applications for a few years, or at least be prepared to explain exactly why you didn't attach it...

I really doubt that. In some of the last european countries that did away with conscription that I had serving friends in, namely Sweden, France and Germany, noone gave a flying gently caress. Hell, in germany, you didn't even get a final evaluation. Even if you got discharged extraordinarily, it would still take someone evaluating your application to raise an eyebrow over less than 9 months time served. And if you got discharged for criminal behaviour, people stop looking at you after going over the police record.

I recall a single occasion where my unit got a call from a future employer of a former recruit of ours and we weren't even allowed to give him any info outside of "yeah, he was a good dude.".
