Subject: Re: Thursday Chat 09.24.15 by rklessdriver on 2015/9/24 12:31:09 Nice cool morning near in the Nations Capital. It's great having the windows open and the AC/Heat turned OFF. Yesterday was 100% suck on the roads with the Pope visiting... they had the National Mall roped off and everything within 2 blocks of where he was sight seeing closed for hours. Those souls that wanted to catch a glimpse of him had to go thru security check points early in the morning to get in and then weren't allowed to leave for hours. No coolers or drinks were allowed to be brought in.... you had to buy it from the cleared vendors. What a racket. Everything is corrupt crony capitalism in DC. Even the Pope's visit. Down here on MCB Quantico we have the Modern Day Marine Expo going on today. All of us contractors have our currently fielded and hopefully soon to be fielded future equipment on display. It's fun blowing smoke with Politicians, Marine Generals and Foreign dignitaries from our allies... but really the best thing for me is the young Marines that actually use our stuff occasionally get to come and talk with us about how much they love/hate our gear/training/support. Have a good day guys. Will |
