Just got off a long call with a good friend in Ukraine.
They provide evacuation support for injured civilians and military. Due to their work with military they are going to lose part (a large part) of their funding. If anyone has tree fiddy take a look. Here is their mission statement. I vouch for his group. Fuckers go into harms way around the world. Met them first in Afghanistan.
MOAS has been present in Ukraine since February of 2022 and currently supports over 150 medics and drivers in the field and maintains 52 ambulances in our fleet, MOAS is an established and reputable humanitarian NGO looking for partners to support a high-impact, innovative and situationally unique program that has saved over 78,000 Ukrainian soldiers and treated 30,000 civilians to date.
The changing geopolitical environment, uncertainty around the possibility of conflict resolution and MOAS’ dedication to providing services to both civilians and military personnel have all contributed to an increasingly challenging and restricted funding landscape for MOAS. As a niche, unique and specialized service provider, the cessation of operations would undoubtedly leave a significant a critical gap in the health pipeline in Ukraine, leading to increased mortality for those in desperate need of care.

Interesting look back. Amusing to see the same armor being used 45 years later. Maybe even some of the same personnel.
We knew they were going in. Just like we knew they were attacking Ukraine. ya don't move certain equipment unless you plan on needing it.

This is me. I never have to actually go to my work, but at least once a week I will go for a few hours because I can't always focus at home. I usually do all the easy stuff at home with the TV going on in the back ground and save the stuff I really need to concentrate on to do at the store.
In my case, I can also get some advice on certain issues from my coworkers, and that is easier to do in person.
Same. When I need to focus I go to a quiet coffee shop and sit outside. A nice coffee, always eye candy, and I focus better.

So was there actually a tornado near Wimberley last night? SM people are pissed that their fancy new sirens never went off.
Not that I have heard of. And yeah, the sirens never went off.

I spent half a deployment doing Maritime patrol looking for “Go-fast” boats in the Caribbean and in the Eastern Pacific. You would be surprised how hard they are to find when trying to search a large area. We calling it mowing the lawn. We had a search area and went back and forth. It was miserable.For sure, and TARS does not see that far south.

Have heard rumors of Brazil to East Africa, which is where a lot of the blow for Europe transits.

Also can be dropped at sea with a beacon and then picked up by a commercial vessel or yacht. Which then might try to go into port or try to get into territorial waters and the then drop again so small vessels that won’t go through customs can do a quick run to pick up. It’s a dynamic, it’s cheaper logistically to do one large shipment but less chance of interdiction to diversify routes.
Don’t get the situation wrong, these strikes are illegal and morally wrong but the boats (and for sure the semi-submersible that had survivors) are carrying drugs.
Yes, that is the reference to off-loading. Hell they will dump them with a buoy to be picked up by a fishing vessel. Sometimes they wash up on US shores, hence cocaine infused alligators.

It’s 500 miles Caracas to Dominican Republic.
Those boats ain’t making that unless they have 250-400 gallons of gas or another boat waiting for them.
They do. And the semi-submersibles are basically fuel, engine and storage.
And yes, they do off load.

Maybe it’s been mentioned but where are the “drug” boats going to? Nearest US controlled island is a long way for a 25-35’ boat.
Usually if in the Caribbean to the Dominican Republic or Haiti. Then they re transport.
Pacific into Mexico.
Some do make it to the US, which amazes me with the Maritime patrolling (air and sea) we do.
Most drugs come in via ports on container ships or overland.

And bad at math. We have something like 1.3M ACTIVE troops in the military. If those were the only people getting paid and nobody else they each get a cool 100 bucks a piece. They can take their families to McDonalds a couple of times.
Hey Specialist Smith, here is a crisp C-note. Now, if you want to double that, invest in this selected Bit-Coin. We promise it is a good investment. Oh, don't need it? You get SNAP benefits? Umm.. Well see....
That is great for Morale.
Wish Soros would donate 260M to food banks near US Bases. They are going to need it if this shit does not end.

2025 Hurricane Thread
in Daily Texan
Posted
There has been rather strong language used when communicating Melissa’s impact to Jamaica, and rightfully so.
The National Hurricane Center warned on Saturday, “Melissa is still expected to make landfall in Jamaica as an upper-end Category 4 hurricane, which could be the strongest direct landfall for the island since tropical cyclone record keeping has been made in the Atlantic Basin.”
While Melissa could make landfall as a high-end Category 4 storm or even a Category 5, the practical difference between the two is minimal.
