The replacement design looks horrible. At least it has A/C.

Some famous vehicles made by Grumman Aircraft over the years.

Yes, even the postal truck.

The US Army peaked dress cap, and its Air Force counterpart.

Almost all military branches have oak leaves on the cap for senior field grade officers and generals. The USAF chose clouds and thunderbolts, derisively known as “farts and darts.”

Opener for a webcomic I tried to start years ago about dysfunctional D&D characters. I need to reboot this idea.

“Kids,” from EMERGENCY! (S2 E2), 1972.

This popular series featuring paramedics, a brand new concept at the time, showed the first named role for 18 year old John Travolta.

A co-worker of mine is trying to find a home for a two year old kitty. We’re in southeast North Carolina. If you’re interested or can help spread the word, we’re trying to keep her out of a shelter. Shots are current and she’s spayed as well. #catsofbluesky

Port quarter view of battleship North Carolina (BB-55).

The ship has since undergone extensive restoration of the hull; that “bathtub ring” of corrosion at the waterline has undergone complete replacement of the hull plating. Much of the superstructure and masts have been refurbished as well.

The D ration was basically a bitter chocolate bar with a high melting point. The bar was deliberately de-sweetened to discourage soldiers from snacking on them.

Kapitanleutnant Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock can be seen with the white cap at center; it made finding the captain in dim lighting easier.
