Hey, Navy:
A slow day at work. Half of the office was on annual and a quarter was out the door at noon, including everyone else on the Help Desk. I was good with that since I’m taking the week off between Christmas and New Year’s and no one else is. YM says she had an equally exciting day, but she’ll probably say more in her letter. Lara, Danielle and Amanda went hiking up King’s Canyon, and it was quite the adventure. Danielle says she’s taking YM and me up there tomorrow. Aside from that, the kitchen is full of food in anticipation of the Big Feast tomorrow. Guess who we’ll be thinking of? :)
The future is now, according to the Air Force News Service:
11/2/2005 - KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. (AFPN) -- A laser technology weapon will be the first man-portable, non-lethal deterrent weapon intended for protecting troops and controlling hostile crowds. The weapon, developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory's Directed Energy Directorate, employs a two-wavelength laser system and is a hand-held, single-operator system for troop and perimeter defense. The laser light used in the weapon temporarily impairs aggressors by illuminating or "dazzling" individuals, removing their ability to see the laser source.
The name of this weapon is, not kidding, the Personnel Halting and Stimulation Response (PHaSR).
All my love,
Air Force
