Citadel 70 VMI 28 (updated)
Dogs finish 7-4, score the most points ever vs. VMI and Silver Shako remains in Charleston – for yet another year…plus we were able to catch it on TV. Yeah, it was a good Saturday, though probably not so for others. Maybe next year guys – umm, no. Rumor has it the VMI…
Russian SLBM Developments
After ten years in overhaul/upgrades (Sevmash and Rossiiskaya Gazeta ) – meet the “Dmitriy Donskoy”(“Дмитрий ДонÑкой”), a Project 941 class SSBN: It is probably worth noting this is the same shipyard that is responsible for the ongoing overhaul of the INS Vikramaditya (neè Adm Gorshvov) carrier for the Indian Navy – which is also well…
Saturday Matinee
Mike wonders aloud at how the VAW community seems to have a surfeit of talent when it comes to making videos – *we* all know it comes from our regular dosing of Vitamin R in the form of the megawatt+ of energy we haul around with us. How else can one explain the likes of…
Valour-IT Challenge: 11 Nov Update
(11 NOV) UPDATE: Final Day for the drive has been pushed to the right — now 12 NOV! While there has been good-natured snarking aplenty between and betwixt the four teams, we still shouldn’t lose sight of what this is all about. Quoted below is a letter received today which elegantly drives the point home. …
How To Make a VAW Maintenance Dept Head Sweat…
Crane-off an E-2. Now for the small-boys, it’s not as big a deal as they are more practiced at it given t he numbers in their squadrons, but also just because, well, they’re smaller, more compact and don’t have this big ol’ airframe feature called a dome in the middle to deal with that calls…

That was a lot of fun! although there must have been a mistake in the calculating.
10% scored higher
0% scored the same
90% scored lower SUPREME NERD. Apply for a professorshop at MIT now!!! 😯
Can`t be right! I was looking forward to taking the next test until I saw the title…Are you a loser? I don`t want to know. 😥

I scored a 28.
But then, chick’s dig me! (Especially the one who lets me live in her home, pays for my Trawler and sailboat)
I figured I got pegged on the calculator (still using my HP-41CV — RPN forever!) and having the microscope, telescope (8″ newtonian reflector BTW) AND I still have my slide rule from freshman/sophmore year. All that and a Poli Sci major – go figure…

But what did you expect for a formere grunt with a BA WW II History and an MA in Civil War History!
😯 😯 dear DC and Albany Rifles: You can’t have been trying very hard. I’m a lowly civilian who doesn’t even much like anything sci-fi, is retired from nursing, AND is Canadian so you must try again…please.
Still, it was a lot of fun. Thank you, and I hope that your commuting woes go a little smoother.

I assume the Russian means you’re a true rocket scientist, SJS, coz babelfish sez: “IT WILL BE the science of rocket! 😉

Oh well, mid-level nerd — that’s me. I got a 76. Probably explains why I’m a computer tech-type.
Hey, my HP RPN calculator is the *only* one I can use and get correct answers! Had a miserable time with a graphing calculator when I had to be non-RPN.
At least HP still makes an RPN calculator for when this one dies … 😛
98%, only 2% higher. Of course as a guy who has written software for web sites, missile systems, fighter planes, and satellites it sorta figures I should score high. RPN for the non-geeky is Reverse Polish Notation and it has nothing to do with the country Poland.
