My first re-enlistment was on the 110th floor of the WTC. The winds were too high for roof top ceremony.

My last re-enlistment was by phone between the Group Commander and I. I was at the SAR station with the OIC there watching the "ceremony". That was before the OIC's had the authority to administer oaths. He was an E-8 and OIC of the SAR unit, I was an E-7 and OIC of the Loran Station. The Commander was in Woods Hole. Shortly after that, the duly designated Officer In Charge, was given the authority to administer the Oath of Office.

Now I recall, a certain Warrant Officer, who was taken out on the town by a couple of Chiefs that was "late" to his swearing in ceremony I don't understand it, we got him back by 0700 and we (the two guilty Chiefs) went to work. Those same Chiefs went and got him out of the rack and presentable. At the ceremony, when the oath was being read to the newly minted WO stated it exactly as the O-6. The O-6 said ... "I state your name" and the WO said "I state your name". The O-6 said, "no Jim, your name." The WO looked down at his name tag and read his last name.

The CO asked why he was late and he placed the blame that the Chiefs took him out on the town the previous night. The O5 that was standing next to me looked at me and said ... Thanks Chief. I told him, anytime Commander.

We had pined his collar devices on him at midnight in an unofficial ceremony. It was a good night for the venues we visited. I dropped $500 at one of them, back in 1985 that night. NYC ... go figure. The five of us certainly enjoyed the night.

That "I state your name" is one of the oldest errors in the oath of office. It ranks up with those in the early 70s at the induction center when asked to read a line on the chart, they say, what chart, the corpman says on the wall, they way what wall.

 

I can't tell if this article is about cursing or stress, but in my experience, Germans curse a heck of a lot more than Americans -- stressed or not.

Also, I must be an outlier. My first curse word is uttered as soon as the alarm clock rings -- about 5:30AM.

Fun to watch. Clearly a pair of outstanding players. Also pretty clearly a staged and well-rehearsed and choreographed show vis-a-vis the Harlem Globetrotters. No way that it was a real match since when one player was way back from the table the other player always hit it right to them when, with the level of control they have, it would have been child's play to hit it to the other side giving the other player zero change of getting to it. I'm guessing it was a demonstration event at this tournament.

It’s important to note that findings in several studies suggest that the smoking of marijuana may increase the prevalence of acute and chronic bronchitis due to irritants entering the lungs. Heavy smoking of marijuana on its own can cause airway obstruction. These findings suggest that patients with COPD should stick with cannabis products that are delivered through methods other than smoking, such as cannabis oils and edibles.

4/20 blues.
http://www.kgw.com/article/news/loc...gle-to-stay-afloat-amid-surplus/283-544185697

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Friday was April 20, a day celebrated by many recreational marijuana users.

But this year, the celebration was overshadowed by a challenge facing a growing number of recreational marijuana dispensaries—a surplus of Oregon-grown cannabis, and a reduction of its retail value.

For customers like Daniel Pollard, the surplus is a win.

“There’s a lot to choose from here,” said Pollard, looking through the window case of La Cannaisseur in Northwest Portland. “Sometimes I'm like, I can't buy it, it's too expensive, but now-a-days it's really affordable.”

 

...a surplus of Oregon-grown cannabis, and a reduction of its retail value.

I've got a surplus of weeds in my yard, too. They're not that hard to grow.

 

Even though I do partake....I was un-aware of the 4/20. Been trying to catch up all day.

They grow pot trees here.
