PUNISHMENT ...

This is one for those who have donned the uniform as perhaps ONLY someone whose served would be able to relate to this ...

A US Air Force C-130 was scheduled to leave Thule Air Base, Greenland, at midnight during a winter month.

๐Ÿ‘‡
2/

During the pilot's pre-flight check, he discovers that the latrine holding tank is still full from the last flight.

So a message is sent to the base and an airman who was off duty is called back out to take care of it ...

๐Ÿ‘‡
3/

The young man finally gets to the air base and makes his way to the aircraft only to find that the latrine pump-truck has been left outdoors and is frozen solid, so he must find another one in the hangar, which takes even more time ...

๐Ÿ‘‡
4/

He returns to the aircraft and is less than enthusiastic about what he has to do. Nevertheless, he goes about the pumping job deliberately and carefully (and slowly) so as not to risk criticism later ...

๐Ÿ‘‡
5/
As he's leaving the plane, the pilot stops him and says, "Son, your attitude and performance has caused this flight to be late and I'm going to personally see to it that you are not just reprimanded but punished."

๐Ÿ‘‡
6/
Shivering in the cold, his task finished, he takes a deep breath, stands tall and says,
"Sir, with all due respect, I'm not your son; I'm an Airman in the United States Air Force .........

I've been in Thule, Greenland 11 months w/o leave & reindeer asses are starting to look good to me. Ive one stripe; it's 2:30 in the morning, the temp is 40ยฐ below zero, my job heres to pump shit out of an aircraft."

"Now, just exactly what punishment did you have in mind?"

A an interesting story from Netaji's life with a linkage to today ...

In 1910, two young men had met Revered Swami Brahmanandaji, the First president Ramakrishna Math & Mission - Subhas & Nirmal.

Both the young men expressed their ardent desire to become monks of the Order.

๐Ÿ‘‡ ImageImageImage
2/
However, while the Satyadrashta in Swami Brahmanandaji accepted Nirmal's candidature to join the Order, he declined & forbade Subhas Chandra Bose, saying he had to accomplish great work by staying outside the Order.
3/

Nirmal went on to become Swami Madhavananda, the Ninth president of the Order, while we all know what happened to Subhas Chandra Bose.

Posting a old favourite Tale of mine from the Wild Wild West -
Be warned this thread is LONG.
But all Good things take time!

'The Old WOMAN & her MULE'

On a warm dusty afternoon, a wizened OLD WOMAN slowly trudged up to a Saloon and tied her old mule to the hitching post.

๐Ÿ‘‡ Image
2/
As she stood there, brushing the dust from her face and clothes, a young GUN-SLINGER stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and whisky in the other. He took one looked at the old woman, laughed and said "Hey you OLD BAG have you danced before?"

๐Ÿ‘‡
3/
The Old Woman looked up at the Gunslinger & spoke in a tired voice "Nah! i neva did dance, neva really wanted tuh"
By now a crowd had gathered as the Gunslinger grinned & said "Well you ol'Bag, You're gonna dance NOW!" & started shooting at the grnd near the woman's feet.

One of the most amazing things about these agitators is their healthy disregard for LOGIC & REASON!

As well the urge to present credible propositions.

Fortunately for them, much of their FB & SM/media support base are gullible/consumed by #ModiHatred sentiment not to question the claims. I am one of them.๐Ÿ™ƒ

So now I look forward to the hugest ever tractor rally.๐Ÿ™ƒ

๐Ÿ‘‡
3/
According to this report, in The Hindu two lakh tractor trolleys will take part in the rally. My mind boggles. Length of typical tractor is 2.9 m. Add a trolley att - 2M. Safe to assume a 3M intra tractor gap, max speed being 30 kmph .
This => 8 M per tractor.

From the pen of @Indusglyphs sharp & incisive as a surgeon's scalpel.
NO whataboutery ...

Remember the Farmer Stir has NOTHING to do with the Farm Laws.

โ–ถ It's the Stir which they couldn't get to do during the Abrogation of Article 370.
๐Ÿ‘‡
2.
โ–ถ It's the stir which they rolled out on anti-CAA but had to withdraw with COVID.

โ–ถ It's the stir which they had planned for the whole of this year and have now sat astraddle on.

โ–ถ It's the precursor to the stir which they intend to bring out on EACH reform.

๐Ÿ‘‡
3.

โ–ถ It has built upon from OROP to test the waters and will build upon ANY issue by which the exchequer can be drained.

โ–ถ It's the precursor to the stirs which will take place for any step this country takes to move forward.

A Thread with Some questions to our ex RM AK Antony, via @INCIndia @SupriyaShrinate , who read out a statement stating Operational details were leaked for the Balakot attack.

1. Who decides to launch a retaliatory strike by IAF against terror strike across the border/LC?

๐Ÿ‘‡
2/

2. Is there a Vision /Concept document prepared in advance for such an operation, carrying specific date of execution or is paper work kept to the minimum?

3. Does the IAF or RM or MoD decide on the date and time of the operation or is it the Defence Minister?

๐Ÿ‘‡
3/
4. What would be the Security Classification of an operation of this nature, does IAF disseminate vital details to many or strictly only on a 'Need to Know' basis?

5. How was secrecy maintained in the Surgical Strike after Uri incident?

Details were out in public domain?

Ok Folks Last Tweet Thread before i turn in for the night:

Enjoy anthr peek into OUR Life from the eyes of a bride to be ...

Faujis are the most amazingly easy people to get along with. Should one fall in love with one & decide to marry him, here was what to could expect.

๐Ÿ‘‡
1/

1. There would be indirect hints about getting up at O Five Hundred (0500) (it's never 5 am) and doing 5 km with 100 push ups.

2. Going to a party was a parade. 2000 hrs means 1955 hrs. Right time, right kit (dress) and right place.

๐Ÿ‘‡
2
3. Your husband may be a young captain but when you enter a room, all offrs will get up to wish you & that incls Generals. Thats the respect you will get - every time.

4. If he's out on TD & you are alone, expect EXTRA attn. You didn't marry just him...you married the army.
