Yesterday morning on my way out the door I happened across a headline (not reading the rest of the piece until today) that sparked my thought process through the rest of the day. The online presence of Occupational Health & Safety, OHSonline.com, ran the headline of Coast Guard Logs 25% Increase in Summer Search & [...] Here’s a nice little breakdown of Rescue 21 out of Houston, TX… irony is a sick joke sometime (sorry, that’s the inside my head voice).

I’m reposting this as we are now in the near-middle of the high SAR season… I hope it helps- again. It was all over the local news here in the Hampton Roads area today- the visit of DHS’s Sec. Napolitano. However, it wasn’t just her visit that I was looking forward to, it was the demonstration of our MSRT that was to be my highlight. And as I slept the day away after my night [...] Who ever said that the world of social networking, specifically the site of these networks, have no place on military computers were just issued an “in your face” notice.
