“I assume this trusted position with enthusiasm, gratitude, eagerness, but most important of all, with great humility. To the men and women of the Oregon Air Guard, let me convey that as your next leader, as an organization, we will continue to stay focused on the future.”-Brigadier General Donna M. Prigmore, first female to become a general in the Oregon Air National Guard

Promotion for Oregon Air National Guard Commander Donna Prigmore, 05AUG2018. Oregon Air National Guard photo by Master Sergeant John Hughel.

“What is the future? Without question, state and federal mission requirements are not slowing down and global varsity-level challenges will continue – it is imperative that resilient Airmen continue to be fit, deployable and can establish trusted partnerships with our coalition partners.”

Prigmore also talked about new missions for Oregon’s Air Guard: “Expanding our partnerships with organizations like the FBI, the Oregon Fusion Center, Bonneville Power Administration, and the Oregon Technology Institute…just to name a few.”

Prigmore has made a career of the military since 1982, with more than 12 of those years in command positions.

STOP YOUR BITCHIN’: IDAHO WOMAN COMMANDS 1ST FEMALE COMBAT TEAM!

Idaho

Location of missing Idaho F-15E Strike Eagles revealed? Or, why hi-tech doesn’t equal fewer humans?

“It can get very taxing. It’s physical work, and you have to battle the elements … but it’s worth it. When I see the plane takeoff I think, ‘I made that possible.’”-Technical Sergeant Terrance Reese

F-15E Strike Eagles belonging to Idaho’s Mountain Home Air Force Base have been spotted in Southwest Asia (Middle East).

The 391st Fight Squadron ‘Bold Tigers’ consists of about 180 personnel operating or maintaining more than 20 aircraft. The pics in this article were taken 04-05JAN2019, at an undisclosed location in the Middle East.

In reality the majority of USAF personnel do not fly aircraft (less than 4% of Airmen are pilots), the hi-tech hi-dollar airborne weapons require a massive amount of ground support personnel to support. This is contrary to what we were told during the Cold War, the Air Force bean counters always claimed that hi-tech would reduce the need for humans: “It’s a constant double and triple checking. There are so many moving parts, and if you don’t take your time it’s easy to miss something. We have to be 100% positive the plane is mission capable.”-Senior Airman Griffin Langiano, F-15 crew chief

Incomplete list of illegal immigrant operations inside the United States, December 2018.

At the beginning of December taxpayer funded leftist liberal propaganda machine Voice of America (VOA) admitted “In fiscal year 2018, CBP apprehended 17,256 criminals trying to cross illegally along the southwest border, as well as 1,019 gang members.” But the gist of their report was “Does it matter?” (essentially saying ‘who cares’)

Millions of U.S. citizens have family and friends employed by the U.S. military and deployed to other countries, now imagine millions of ‘care packages’ being sent to those military personnel. I remember guys getting books, music cassette tapes (remember those?), cookies, candy, but I don’t remember anybody getting drugs or coffee. Coffee?

Turns out that sending coffee to military personnel overseas is just as ‘illegal’ as sending illegal drugs. Not just coffee, but prescription drugs and even food supplements are banned, yet people still do it and they get caught.

Here’s some links to websites about sending care packages to military personnel:

The recent Camp Fire in the not-so-golden (for many reasons) U.S. state of California wiped out the town of Paradise. Not only are thousands of people now homeless, so are an estimated 1-thousand-8-hundred pets.

Video of California National Guard UH-60M Black Hawk attempting to block Camp Fire from spreading:

Many of the now homeless cats and dogs are being housed at the Chico Municipal Airport. Volunteers, with groups like North Valley Animal Disaster Group, are struggling to help. Even the California National Guard is helping: “We’re unloading people’s donations and giving people donations that have been received. We give people the right directions if their animal is lost, or if their animal is here and they want to visit them. It’s good to show your support and help them the best way you can. It gives me pride and joy…to help them with whatever they need.”-Specialist Mark Maynard, California Army National Guard

California Army National Guard photo by Specialist Amy Carle, 18NOV2018.

Pallets full of pet food, piles of dog beds, and boxes of leashes and toys have arrived at the airport, and there’s a steady stream of people driving up to donate what they can.

California Army National Guard photo by Specialist Amy Carle, 18NOV2018.

Because of the fires the Chico Municipal Airport is not open to normal air traffic, so it was picked to be a temporary animal shelter. Many of the unpaid volunteers work 12 hours at a time. National Guard Military Police patrol the airport at night so the volunteers can take a break.

The lost pets are brought in by fire fighters, utility workers, or the pets are there because their owners are also now homeless. But there are reunions between lost pets and owners as well. Other organizations working to save the pets of Paradise are Butte County Animal Control, International Fund for Animal Welfare, and the California Veterinary Medical Reserve Corp: “This effort is just so huge. It’s a rare and extraordinary thing. It takes all of us to get things done.”-Norm Rosene, North Valley Animal Disaster Group
