Can't say too much, but here is another public link:
Check out this news release (soft launch described towards bottom)
Besides we had CIWS onboard the Wainwright and the FC's said it stood for "Christ, It Won't Shoot"

(Man that was a close one. Dang Capt. almost figured out who started the thread a day early. Beagle1 took the wrap.
Good thing for me Capt. has a supply background, and not a line officer.

Good Morning Campers.
Sitting @ the Home-20 waiting for the appliance repairman to fix the gas oven.
Supposed to be here at 0630.
I know what's wrong, I have the part number, I know how to change it, I found a local shop that sells the part..........but they won't sell it to me because I'm not 'certified'.
Two fittings, a couple of screws, and four push on wire connectors.
This ain't rocket science.
Liability lawyers, still helping people who have no business owning tools hose the rest of the population.
Oh well, coffee's on.

AHHHHHHH, Fresh Coffee..................
Thursday (almost Friday) morning.
Cooler temps, 'sposed to be lower humididididity.
Work load went from to 
yesterday afternoon due to one office moron arbitrarily moving a major project date up by 3 days without consulting anyone performing the work.
I have a feeling he's going to wind up with egg on his face on this one.
My phone call to him after getting the news:
"I'm a TECHNICIAN, not a MAGICIAN."
"The two words might sound alot alike, but they're NOT interchangable."
Y'all b safe,

I used to have a red card, haven't had time to do the pack test in a while. Keep an eye out for some Jersey crews. Theres a bunch of them out on a couple of different fires right now.
