Just a note about the 1 million damaged vehicles.
It's not that bad.

The article says 267,000 combat vehicles and vehicular components, 90% of which are repaired at forward maintenance centers.

This yields 27,000 damaged vehicles/components that are seriously damaged.

Good Morning Folks,

Somalia, with the U.S.S. Eisenhower Battle Group off the coast providing CSAR for the C-130's and a defacto embarago of both sea and air of southern Samalia where the al Qaeda insurgents have herded to are we ready for the debut of the "Ospery"to combat.

The fact that no Marine MEF was deployed with the Eisenhower and a "quick" deployment of an MEF from Camp Lejeune romered to have the MV-22 on board is headed for the coast of Africa.

Is the Ospery ready for prime time or is "Ospery Down" in the making?

Stay tuned folks.

ALLONS,
Byron Skinner
