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.

“We have developed plans to screen all personnel including but not limited to crew, visitors, civilians, contractors, and new check-ins gaining access to units and platforms. These additional screening requirements will include newly gained personnel and those returning from leave.”-Lieutenant Joe Keiley, U.S. Navy 7th Fleet

CoViD-19=CoronaVirus Disease 2019

Decontamination efforts in Daegu.

U.S. Forces Korea contamination risk level is now at ‘high’.  An active duty U.S. Army soldier in Republic of Korea (RoK, south Korea) is infected with CoViD-19.  He is based at Camp Carroll which is near Daegu, which is ground zero for RoK’s CoViD-19 outbreak.  It should also be noted that the outbreak is directly linked to a Korean ‘christian’ group.  Local government officials are now calling religious gatherings “super spreader events”,  and the U.S. Army (USA) quarantined soldiers who attended the church!  (It should be noted that while the USA says the soldiers are ‘self quarantined’, it was done under orders which means it was not voluntary)

The infected soldier also visited Camp Walker.

The infected 23 years old unnamed U.S. soldier is reportedly quarantined to his off-base residence.  But that’s not all, a 61 years old widow of a former U.S. soldier is also infected.  Both the infected soldier from Camp Carroll, and the widow, recently visited Camp Walker, which is now in the process of CoViD-19 screenings.

U.S. military personnel in Korea are also ordered into ‘self quarantine’ upon returning from trips to China.

Grade schools (Department of Defense Education Activity) for the children of U.S. military personnel are being shutdown, not just in Korea but around the world.

Korea is not the only place the U.S. military is prepped for outbreak: “We’re anticipating an increase in the number of cases reported in Germany.”-General Tod Wolters, U.S. Air Force (USAF)

USAF General Tod Wolters is also NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander in Europe.  He told the U.S. Congress that ‘preparations’ were already underway for the U.S. military in Europe, due to the outbreak in Italy.

U.S. Army Europe has already shutdown grade schools and recreation centers for U.S. military families in Italy.

The U.S. military allows personnel and their dependents to voluntarily evacuate bases, at their own expense, but if a Military Evacuation Declaration is given then all expenses are covered.

However, amazingly Canadian health authorities are claiming a 60% effectiveness rate for their flu shot, despite increasing number of infections.

“We have begun to set up machine learning deep neural networks to use artificial intelligence to classify the organisms, but do not have results yet.”-Brad Penta, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory

A swarm of veligers, a larval stage of mollusks.

The U.S. Navy’s (USN) Naval Research Laboratory has been conducting surveys of what it calls ocean swarms.  This is when small lifeforms cluster in an area of the ocean and cause havoc with electronic devices.

Intermediate trophic level (ITL) organisms are actually determined by their place in the food chain.  Civilian biologists might differ in their definition of an ITL but the USN considers everything from copepods to jellyfish as ITLs.  When they ‘swarm’ they render USN underwater electronic devices useless because of the way they refract the electronic signals.  Some of these creatures even produce their own electronic signals.

In 2019, the USN and the University of Mississippi conducted an ITL survey off the coast of Delaware.  They used not only ocean going detection devices but airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDaR) cameras, which used lasers to scan the ocean surface.  But this LiDaR was different, instead of the monochromatic laser the scientists used a multi-color LiDaR system they call Multi-Wavelength LiDaR Environment, or MuWLE.

The MuWLE is so sensitive the scientists report that they detected clouds in the air, under the aircraft, that could not be seen with human eyes!

This is a ‘Wirewalker’, it floats with the motion of the ocean, measuring conductivity, temperature, depth, light and acoustic backscatter, and dissolved oxygen.

The researchers are now trying to collate all the data they collected.  The goal is to provide the USN with new technology that can allow its ocean going vehicles to avoid ‘ocean swarms’.

Other ocean swarm research team players include Florida Atlantic University Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, University of South Alabama Dauphin Island Sea Lab, University of Southern Mississippi, Florida International University, and University of Delaware.
