Guard units
got activated for assistance with COVID-19 efforts. I saw on social media some people commenting that, oh, at least it’s not a real deployment (referencing danger). Think about it though. With COVID-19 assistance and containment efforts, it’s even MORE dangerous. They’re… Continue Reading “HIARNG units on the move per da Gov”

TARP training every year
I have to admit though, since I posted that one TARP training I had to do years ago where ALMS was so shitty doing the video, it’s gotten better. That’s the one consolation to having to do this training every year I guess. And what, 6 years later it’s still the same person hosting the CBT. Is that… Continue Reading “TARP training every year”
I think this is one of our original Kunians Jim Sipp?
I look for old friends, acquaintances, and Army buddies/associates from time to time. Particularly of the original USACC/USAISC Det Comm crew since we were sort of all closely associated as we came to Hawaii as a team. One of them was Jimm Sipp, SP5.

Esprit de Signal Corps
Probably a ‘who cares’ for most. But if you’re a signal soldier at heart, especially one whose career has been the Army Signal Corps, nothing more need be said. It just evokes pride and a smile.

The Customer is NEVER right in here
Ahhh the old days, but days which I didn’t deal with very often. If one has never been in the military, it’s impossible to relate to this.

Dinosaurs in the career field
A couple of current and former co-workers and I were shooting the breeze about work related stuff, crypto issues in particular, and we former tech controllers from the telecommunications side started comparing how crypto, key updates, etc., have changed over the years (decades!!!) since we were brand new… Continue Reading “Dinosaurs in the career field”
