Military Musings: June 2009

http://militarymusings-mdailey.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 26, 2009. Some Soldiers/Ammo Handlers tape grenades in order to keep the pins from coming out until intended. The tape is apparently causing some problems. Please help get the word out to stop the application of tape. My grenades have got a problem,. The pins keep falling out. I have to grab them quickly. Or toss them out and shout. My squad is getting nervous. And bent completely out of shape. So I've turned to a soldier's oldest friend –. Now my pins are taped up –. Never to come out.

Political Musings: June 2009

http://politicalmusings-mdailey.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html

Thoughts on what is happening in politics. Friday, June 26, 2009. With one more governor apologizing for his discretion's, I thought I would remind you of one of the better stories of a governor that strayed. As far as these sex scandals go. Governor Spitzer’s is one for the show. With Silda, his wife, by his side. He says he has nothing to hide. I admit that what I did was wrong. And my tenure as Gov won’t be long. But the details I won’t be revealing. Just think of my poor wife’s poor feelings. With co...

Military Musings: TANG for the 21st Century

http://militarymusings-mdailey.blogspot.com/2009/06/tang-for-21st-century.html

Tuesday, June 16, 2009. TANG for the 21st Century. TANG for the 21st Century. Remember the Tang of your youth. And how astronauts got us to drink it. Well we’ve Tang for the new generation. What’s in it? You don’t want to think it. You see water is scarce up in space. But liquid’s a whole other matter. They gather up all they can get. Every dribble, every drop, every splatter. It’s distilled and filtered to capture. Every particle – lint – even hairs. It’s heated, then cooled then bottled.

Reflections-MD: Gather Round Children

http://reflections-md.blogspot.com/2009/06/gather-round-children.html

Spiritual or Christain poetry. Tuesday, June 9, 2009. We have a new preacher at Ox Hill Baptist Church. She works with children and youth and has a children's sermon almost every week. I wrote this for her. I’ll tell you a story. About our Lord Jesus. And all of His glory. A story that starts. And ends with Lord Jesus. The stories of how. He went town to town. Till the devil was down. Telling all who would listen. About the Good News. And given us choices. From which we can choose. A story of turning.

Political Musings: Hire Felons

http://politicalmusings-mdailey.blogspot.com/2009/06/hire-felons.html

Thoughts on what is happening in politics. Sunday, June 21, 2009. One solution to government staff shortages: Hire felons! When it comes to hiring, the federal government prides itself on reaching out to disadvantaged segments of society: veterans, people with disabilities, and more recently, retirees. So why not felons? The chairman of the House subcommittee on the federal work force thinks it’s a good idea. There’s a shortage in our workforce. That must be filled I fear. To fill it then we must divorce.

Office-mdailey

http://office-mdailey.blogspot.com/2009/06/back-when-i-still-worked-we-had.html

Friday, June 26, 2009. Back when I still worked, we had contractors in the office and (by law) they had to be treated differently. But they were always asking if they could legally do this or do that so I wrote them a little poem as a reminder. There are two rules on contractors you need to know. If you are asking is it somewhere contractors can go. Rule one will apply - and the answer is NO! If you don't like the answer and you are coming undone. Then rule two simply states - see Rule number one! You al...

Military Musings: July 2009

http://militarymusings-mdailey.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, July 21, 2009. The Green Zone Pool. Don’t leave your gun by the Green Zone Pool. When cooling off there in Iraq. Keep your gun always. Within your arm’s reach. In case the insurgents attack. And when taking a shower. Or within a bower. Keep your hands on your gun at all times. Though things seem to go well. You can’t never tell. Who or where they’re laying their mines. Monday, July 20, 2009. House panel probes quality of Army recruits. Let us now call to order this House Subcommittee. That in &#...

Reflections-MD: A Glimpse of Jesus

http://reflections-md.blogspot.com/2009/07/glimpse-of-jesus.html

Spiritual or Christain poetry. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. A Glimpse of Jesus. I caught a glimpse of Jesus. On the face of my child asleep. I wasn't looking for Jesus. But I saw something I'd like to keep. I caught a glimpse of Jesus. When my wife looked at me just so. I wasn't looking for Jesus. But Jesus was there I know. I caught a glimpse of Jesus. In the eyes of a stranger down town. I wasn't looking for Jesus. But he appears to be always around. I caught a glimpse of Jesus. I wasn't looking for Jesus.

Office-mdailey: July 2009

http://office-mdailey.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, July 21, 2009. We have three folks retiring this FY. And we’ll have to replace them I sure. While they want us to recruit the disabled. I’m not sure what to use as a lure? Our lift, at its best, is just shaky. It fails every couple of weeks. And we don’t have someone who know signing. So the deaf have no help so to speak. And the blind – I really don’t see how. They could work here with all that we read. And the “slow”, well we already have them. In all truth, we need someone with speed. Like yo...

Reflections-MD: March 2009

http://reflections-md.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Spiritual or Christain poetry. Sunday, March 29, 2009. To Touch a Fallen Comrade. I started this weeks ago but just finished it yesterday evening. To Touch a Fallen Comrade. To touch a fallen comrade and find his life line strong. Will form a lasting bond that lingers on and on. You’ll find your heart is beating as if it’s lost in song. To touch a fallen comrade and find his life line strong. To touch a fallen comrade and find his life is gone. To be there as he passes into the great beyond. Kneeling so ...
