| #9 Nothing to be ashamed of, Jame. Hope she has a good and safe trip home. |

| #8 Jame - that comment about your wife begs for an explanation. (Enquiring minds want to know.) :-p Hate to burst your bubble, but a serious impression still won't make a serious impression on looney-tunes Kimi. My wife is on her way back from RoK having spent the last two weeks there as her AT. Not having her over there if things get hot is a serious priority for me (like I said, I am somewhat ashamed, but she is my wife). |

| #6 Barbara.... YOU ROCK!!! (Pardon the pun. Couldn't resist) Think of it as the subtle addition of about 96 F-18s a dozen F-14s for TopCap. And assorted Vikings, CODs and Mini AWACs to the firm hand of Diplomacy. That's not counting the Aegis cruisers, FFGs, Tin Cans and 688s that protect the carrier and also scout ahead. Jack. |

| #4 Scheisse . . . I am both glad that the wife is headed home right now from RoK and ashamed that I feel that way (that my wife is out of the line of fire if/when SHTF). Let's hope we only have to send a subtle message and not have to make a serious impression. |

| #3 Got a chance to hear Brian Shul speak a few weeks ago about his experiences flying the SR-71 Blackbird. President Reagan had them fly patterns over a secret meeting held in North Korea during the mid 80-s attended by senior Chinese, Soviet and North Korean officials. Idea was to boom them every fifteen minutes or so and rattle the coffee cups. Must have sent a nice message. |

#2 The Navy did not give a specific reason for the early deployment.Because if you have to ask the reason, you're dumber than a box of rocks. (Apologies to rocks everywhere.) |

| #1 Kim Mini-Mini-Me has got to be listening for the sounds of jets over Pyongyang, Yangbon, and other exciting tourist sites in the DPRK. |
