It's been 18 hours since I asked @AF_Academy Public Affairs how much rent @AirForceGrads pays to have their headquarters on the USAFA campus. No response.
Check out the AOG's digs in Doolittle Hall here: events.usafa.org
"Doolittle Hall located on the United States Air Force Academy sits on 24 acres of scenic Colorado landscape and is the ideal place to host your next event. Nestled among the pines and pastures fronting the Rampart Range, it’s truly an inspiring setting."
"Our large Assembly room has the capability of hosting several hundred people for events such as receptions, reunions, conferences and seminars, parties and ceremonies. The 5,500 square foot assembly area can accommodate 250 for a sit-down dinner and 400 for a standing event."
"Our event venue offers outdoor ceremony sites with serene mountain vistas and breathtaking views that engender perfect locales for intimate gatherings and grand affairs alike."
"Your event will enjoy a seamless transition from ceremony to reception, as guests marvel at the panoramic views provided by our assembly rooms floor to ceiling glass windows and open floor plan that allows for a custom décor." events.usafa.org/Weddings

1/30/1991: a special CENTAF log entry for the cluster munition fanboys in the house #gulfwar30 #desertstorm30
"F-16s employing non-precision, free-falling general-purpose bombs, as well as older-generation cluster bomb units (CBU) — Mk-20 Rockeye, CBU-52, and CBU-58 —flew the majority, 569, of these missions."
"Battlefield effectiveness was below expectations, which led to concern over the high-consumption rates of the more modern, armor-piercing CBU-87 during the first two weeks"

1/30/1991: first combat use of another failure-prone weapon system - FASCAM mines #gulfwar30 #desertstorm30
Developed in the 1970s, FASCAM, or Family of Scatterable Munitions, were artillery-delivered mines ejected from 155mm projectiles. The antipersonnel mine is "ADAM" for Area Denial Artillery Munition, and the antivehicle mine is "RAAM" for Remote Antiarmor Mine System Image

What a surprise: the people who planned and lead the air war in Desert Storm think it went great. Let's do some fun keyword searches in this report, shall we? mitchellaerospacepower.org/single-post/de… #gulfwar30 #desertstorm30
The word "mistake" is used sparingly -- once to refer to Saddam Hussein, and the rest mostly to talk about "honest mistakes" that don't get further review #gulfwar30 #desertstorm30
No discussion of fratricide. No discussion of the weapons that killed American troops. No discussion of unexploded American ordnance that continue to kill Iraqis and Kuwaitis today #gulfwar30 #desertstorm30

For everyone tweeting on the 30th anniversary of Desert Storm about how brilliant the air campaign was, know that the U.S. did a lot of incredibly stupid things like drop high explosive bombs on chemical weapons depots, such as the one at Al Muthanna
They thought that the explosives in Mk-84s would destroy chemical agent, when all they did was create a giant mess that, today, still has not been cleaned up
They compounded the idiocy by following up the Mk-84s with CBU-87s, thinking that the (very) limited incendiary effects of BLU-97 submunitions would burn up liquid chemical agents. (they did not.)

8’ tall metal barricades going up on 18th Ave tonight just north of Constitution Hall to block pedestrian traffic. Worker tells me the exclusion area for the inauguration will be at least 1/3 larger than he’s seen for any other govt event, w/ 2 and 3 layers of fencing in parts Image

The videos I shot last night got more attention that I expected. I’ll post more from earlier in the day now, and in chronological order
1:27pm: crowd is leaving the Washington Monument following the president’s address. They’re all headed towards the Capitol. Lots of street preachers and buskers, like this guy, among them
2:02pm: I passed by these on Constitution Ave. Someone went to the trouble of printing actual fake news and left bundles on the street free for people to read
