Born in Deutschland 1965, hometown was Bütthart, parents were not U.S. government employees. However, when father was tricked into joining the U.S. Air Force Civil Service, in 1969, with the promise that we could remain in Germany, we were promptly shipped off to Iran. Due to one of my Iranian educators being disappeared, along with her husband, by the U.S. ally Shah of Iran's Israeli & U.S. created Savak (for the then official terrorist act of promoting the idea that women can vote), and due to my U.S. citizen mother being placed on Savak's Terrorist Arrest List (for supporting the idea that women should vote, at that time the U.S. ally Shah of Iran did not allow women to vote, now they can) we left Iran for the United States in 1973, literally in the middle of the night. At the U.S. Embassy airbase the CIA operated Gooney Bird (C-47) was so packed with other U.S. citizens fleeing our ally Iran (because the Shah gave the OK to arrest any U.S. citizen for such terrorist acts as promoting the concept of voting) that we were turned away by the Loadmaster and had to take a chance on a civilian flight out of Tehran's airport. My father told me he and my mother had three culture shocks; first when they arrived in Germany as civilians, then after being shipped off to Iran as U.S. government employees, then again returning to the United States as unemployed civilians (because so much had changed in the U.S. while they were gone, their only news source was the U.S. Armed Forces Radio & Television Service which heavily censored information about the home front). Since I graduated high school in 1982 I've worked for U.S. government contractors and state & local government agencies (in California), convenience store manager in California, retail/property management in Georgia, California and Idaho. Spent the 1990s in the TV news business producing number one rated local news programs in California, Arizona and Idaho. 14+ years with California and Idaho Army National Guard and the U.S. Air Force. Obtained a BA degree in International Studies from Idaho State University at the age of 42. Unemployed since 2015, so don't tell me the economy has recovered.

U.S. Army spends your money building fire stations for Armenia!

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has been busy building new fire/emergency response buildings, not in the United States, in the European(?) country of Armenia.

U.S. taxpayers are unknowingly funding (through the United States European Command) the construction of three fire and rescue station projects in Armenia’s Shirak Province.  Officially it is because the U.S. European Command is expecting an increase in major natural disasters.  However, it was admitted that the fire station in Gyumri, considered the busiest in Armenia, was in desperate need of replacement due to neglect by the local and national governments.  U.S. taxpayers are replacing the old station in Gyumri with two new state-of-the-art stations by the end of 2021.

A third emergency response station will be completed in 2022, in the small city of Ashotsk.

It should be noted that Armenia is geographically on the Western edge of the Asian continent, yet U.S./NATO considers Armenia to be ‘geo-politically’ European, hence why U.S. European Command has jurisdiction.

The first WC-130J mission of the 2021 Hurricane season was a ‘lower level invest’ (LLI) over The Gulf of Mexico.

LLIs are flown by WC-130Js at a lower altitude than regular storm missions, whenever weather satellites are having a hard time finding the center of a tropical system.

C-12 Huron pilots with Tennessee Army National Guard’s Detachment 6, A Company, 2nd Battalion, 641st Aviation Regiment, held a deployment ceremony on 12JUN2021.  They will be spending nine months in Africa, after deployment training on Fort Bliss, Texas.

Then, on 22JUN2021, five militiamen with the Tennessee Army National Guard’s 1957th Contingency Contracting Team said official good-byes during a ceremony in Nashville.

The mission of the five from Tennessee will be to spend U.S. taxes on foreign supplied logistical services, like food and lodging, in the operational area known as Horn of Africa: “Contracts are often given to local workers which really helps drive the economy in the area.”-Captain Eric Bolin, Tennessee National Guard’s United States Property & Fiscal Office

The 23 personnel of the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) support headquarters company are, apparently, deploying to Kuwait.  Chief Warrant Officer 2 Daniel Ambia admitted that their pre-deployment training was conducted ‘virtually’ due to the pandemic-panic-attack, but was confident enough to say “…I think we’ll be okay. Everybody is pretty good at what they do.”

Solar flares to sink U.S. Navy?

“I study solar flares and I spent my career modeling them. We generally think of flares in terms of their size or their brightness, but we often ignore the part about their duration.”-Jeff Reep, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory

On 15JUN2021, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory published a story concerning the expected increase in duration of solar flares, and the possibility that entire U.S. Navy (USN) fleets could be affected.

In a recent scenario a USN fleet was hit by a solar flare, destroying its electrical infrastructure and causing havoc to its electronic communications.  The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory is working on a way to allow fleet commanders to conduct real-time forecasting of such solar flares, and to determine how long they will last.  (Forecasting the Remaining Duration of an Ongoing Solar Flare)

The USN scientists argue that how long a solar flare lasts is as important as how intense the flare is, yet we still can’t determine how long such solar events will last.  The research is part of a NASA program called Living With A Star.

U.S. MILITARY WARNS, SUN WILL INTERFERE WITH YOUR HI-DEF TV

U.S. military warns, Sun will interfere with your hi-def TV

Towards the end of February 2021, the U.S. Department of Defense’s American Forces Network (AFN) warned that this year’s solar activity will interfere with television signals.

Specifically; the solar phenomena known as Sun Fade, Sun Transit or Sun Outage, is expected to target signals from AFN’s Riverside, California, broadcast center at various times this year.

AFN officials said, so far this year their satellite TV broadcasts to Europe were targeted from February to March, and Japan and Korea were targeted in March.  They advise there is nothing you can do to fix the reception on your expensive high-definition television, except wait until the solar phenomenon ends.

U.S. NAVY CORRECTLY PREDICTS RADIOLOGICAL CHANGES WITH THE SUN

Technology

U.S. Navy correctly predicts radiological changes with The Sun

“What happens on the Sun has significant effects on the Earth’s upper atmosphere, which is important for communication and radar technologies that rely on over-the-horizon or ground-to-space radio frequency propagation…”-Christoph Englert, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory’s Space Science Division

“They can cause damage to satellites and other space objects. The high energy particles themselves are microscopic, but it’s their speed that causes them to be dangerous to electronics, solar panels, and navigation equipment in space.”-J. Martin Laming, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory

In the mid-1990s, a scientist with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory postulated that outer layers of our star were different than first thought.  Since then, J. Martin Laming has jointly published many solar studies: “It’s satisfying to learn that the new observations demonstrate what happens ‘under the hood’ in the theory, and that it actually happens for real on the Sun.”-J. Martin Laming, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory

“We estimate that the Sun is 91% hydrogen but the small fraction accounted for by minor ions like iron, silicon, or magnesium dominates the radiative output in ultraviolet and X-rays from the corona. If the abundance of these ions is changing, the radiative output changes.”-Christoph Englert, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory

The Sun’s magnetic waves change the chemical compounds in each of its own layers.  The final result can be visually observed only during a solar eclipse.
