"During the Cold War, the USSR noticed an unusually heavy stream of personnel to and from a structure in the center of the Pentagon’s five-acre courtyard. Figuring it was a vital command installation, the Soviets kept two nuclear missiles trained on it. But it was—and is—only a snack bar."

I’ve always wondered if they had two just for that or if they just had them heading for the center of Adversary #1’s military headquarters. I don’t know much about Soviet military doctrine; that seems light but maybe they had two for each side and then two more in the center for an even dozen?

Sounds urban legendy. I’m sure the pentagon was targeted for many many warheads regardless of observed snack bar activity

It's an urban legend. By the time the Soviets had "satellite intelligence," they'd have had a small legion of spies, from the compromised to the incentivized and ideological, to tell them it was just a hot dog stand in a courtyard.

Everyone knows the secret entrance to the *real* NMCC is in the back of the kitchen in Tony Luke's, anyways. >.>

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

This is a post reminder so I can write up the the following stories:

In-flight tampon encounter

How telling guys in the squadron about your sister being a suicide girl is a self-critiquing mistake

Barricading yourself in a bathroom because the A1C you’re rooming with on TDY is home schooled, into knives, and is a nudist

I have short non-fic about (falling) devil fingers.

When I worked on a tugboat a few years back I discovered that the local seagulls would raid the dumpsters and find tampons and applicators. They’d eat either or both and then vomit them onto the decks of the tug fairly regularly.

The end.

I found them to be more humorous and contemptuous of the military in a fun goofy way. But I haven't watched all their poo poo, so im not going to pretend. Just in the interviews and stuff the head of VetTV doesn't seem like an utter douche like some of the others.


Cue 14 youtube clips proving me wrong.

Someone did a short documentary about them within the last couple of years. The founder was either oblivious or didn't care that he was making an actress uncomfortable with jokes about her getting finger banged by Marines in a sketch.

So we need to talk help how the coast guard uses helicopters during SAR. See when we send a helicopter to do its thing, we talk to them and they talk to us. Communication is vital in all the steps.

We had a disabled, adrift vessel with one person on board and one nautical mile away from land. The nearest coast guard small boat was 40 minutes away...

Which was fine, we had enough time.

But we had a visiting coast guard helicopter who was getting ready to leave home and decided to ask if they could get on the action. You know just do a fly by, find the vessel and leave.

And so they flew.

And they decided to orbit and wait for the coast guard small boat. And they decided to lower their rescue swimmer. And they decided to get the person out of the boat. You know without letting anyone know about their intentions.

Worse of all was the poor coast guard small boat couldn't do anything becase the other boat is now unmanned and dangerous to tow.

Oh and that boat was the guys home, so now he be homeless.

Thanks coast guard.
