My old CSM instituted a policy that nobody could be on their cell phone during duty hours while on staff duty, but said that we could watch videos as long as they were "military related". This lead to me getting to re-watch Generation Kill and Band of Brothers several times since staff duty during duty hours is a pointless job and is just a way to not have to hire a janitorial staff.

Should've watched Catch-22

Two thirds of the cargo of Walter Raleigh's largest prize was stolen in port

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Flores_(1592)#Mass_theft

quote:

Madre de Deus attracted all manner of traders, dealers, cutpurses and thieves from miles around, from as far as London and beyond. At seeing this huge vessel, pandemonium broke out amongst the townspeople; they visited the floating castle and sought out drunken sailors in taverns and pubs, buying, stealing, pinching and fighting for the takings. Local fishermen as well ventured aboard, further depleting the cargo.[1]

I'm finally watching The Men Who Stare at Goats, which is on netflix. If you don't know anything about it, it is pretty much Caro: the movie. Definitely worth watching. It has a very Coen brothers feel.

Only ever saw the don't eat the eggs scene on Youtube but yeah it seems like a charming movie.

That reminds me that during the cold war the Bundeswehr mulled the idea of a one-man courier heli that was meant to be attached at I think the company commander level and piloted by conscripts and probably would have killed more Germans than Zhukov :lol:

It's gonna be a fight to have isolation measures persist into the summer. Everyone's gonna have grown bored with it and want to hang out in the sun and have barbecues etc. Even having heard of gramps dying sans ventilator in the hallway of / tent outside a hospital in April / May probably won't prevent that.
