Flightdeck Friday: A BMD Primer
Every now and then I get a chance to reach escape velocity from my day job and do something really fun or different. Recently that entailed presenting a BMD overview to a couple of classes that were part of the Naval War College’s Non-Resident Seminar program (of which YHS is a graduate). And like any…

I will indeed be there. Unfortunately, I wasn’t aware that the show was running all this week (figured it was a once a week deal.) Normally that’d be good, but this week is dead week, which for me is even busier than finals week (the wave of papers/projects that have been procrastinated on is about to break).
