@macaiyla I don’t think I like it better if we’re just talking about Weather! I think I miss the 4 seasons in the North East the most. UT is pretty much a 2.5 season state. Winter, Summer and like 4 weeks of Fall. It’s very dry & the elevation/inversion is something to read into/consider
@Nedsfeed It’s my time, Chet. We lost a good soldier in Ned, and you will never be able to fulfill that void on my timeline. Thank you for what you used to be, but it’s time to go. Farewell, partner.
@J_Swish24 Lake Mary,l for something cool, Lake Blanche for something excruciating or Cecret Lake up to Devils Castle if you’re feeling bold. Please don’t swim in the water on the peaks! Watershed is incredible important here!
At least 4 F-35A Multirole Fighters with the 388th Fighter Wing (388FW) stationed at Hill Air Force Base in Utah, arrived earlier today in the Middle East following a brief stop in the U.K. last night after crossing the Atlantic. Upwards of 12 F-35s have been ordered to surge to the region by the Department of Defense, in order to reinforce Air Force assets and aircraft already deployed to U.S. Central Command’s (CENTCOM) Area-of-Responsibility.
Since the story on the @DeptofDefense's website on Jackie Robinson has been deleted, here are the details of his service in the United States military.
In 1942, Robinson was drafted and reported to Fort Riley, Kansas. By early 1943, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant before joining the 761st tank battalion, also known as the Black Panthers.
A year later, after Robinson boarded an Army bus, the driver asked him to retreat to the back. Robinson refused -- more than a decade before Rosa Parks. Robinson was court martialed and later acquitted.
He spent the rest of his military service at Camp Breckinridge, where he coached Army athletics teams. Robinson was honorably discharged in November 1944.
