jacqueline francis at 10 30 am 0 comments tuesday may 4 2010 giggles highway patrol vs usmc two california highway patrol officers were conducting speeding enforcement on i 15 just north of the marine corps air station at miramar one of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill the officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour the officer attempted to reset the radar gun but it would not reset and then it turned off and could not be turned on just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a usmc f a 18 hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location back at the chp headquarters the patrol captain fired off a complaint to the usmc base commander the reply came back in true usmc style thank you for your letter we can now complete the file on this incident you may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the hornet had detected the presence of and subsequently locked on to your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it which is why it shut down furthermore an air to ground missile aboard the full y armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to your equipment location fortunately the marine pilot flying the hornet recognized the situation for what it was quickly responded to the missile system alert status and was able to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position the pilot also suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them since the video systems on these jets are very high tech sergeant johnson the officer holding the radar gun should get his dentist to check his left rear molar it appears the filling is loose also the snap is broken on his holster thank you for your concern semper fi in other news brandon called me four times today i missed every single call i screamed really loudly he s going on patrol for a week or so may the fourth be with him posted by jacqueline francis at 1 12 pm 2 comments friday april 30 2010 when a culture simply shrugs about what happens to people in war it breaks the fragile sequence the bond between all people michael meade posted by jacqueline francis at 1 18 pm 0 comments wednesday april 28 2010 patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it mark twain brandon called on sunday it is a sweet joy to hear his voice even if it is brief he tells me they are in preparations of arriving marines sanding down all the filth written on the bathroom walls cleaning up garbage wearing their full gear in 120 degree weather he doesn t really want to talk much about what s going on out there i don t blame him although my life feels like it s been on pause for 7 months time has been like a paper cut i m not sure where all the time is coming or if it s gone yet i m not sure where the pain is coming from and i can t see it but it s there brandon has asked me not to come to california at first this really offended me until i realized that the poor guy hasn t really been alone in 7 months by the time he gets home it will have been almost 9 months meanwhile i ve had this time to myself for my mind almost too much time there to process how i feel what has happened what has changed and what i have yet to change i feel so overwhelmed with gratitude and motivation for the life that begins when he gets home nothing has even really happened to me while what he has experienced is another story and it s his story so i ll let him tell it and even though it hurts to think he might get two full days in california in my parent s guest house off i know in the end it will save us both a ton of anxiety i wouldn t know exactly when those two days were until right before they happened like the day of so i d have to get work off and buy tickets and get my bum down there and then i d have to say goodbye again if i would give him some time to just be alone i m going to try really hard to do that he says he hasn t written since carlos died so maybe he will write again ooh rah j posted by jacqueline francis at 8 27 am 0 comments friday april 23 2010 lately i don t have the words it s the veteran not the reporter who has given us the freedom of press it s the veteran not the poet who has given us freedom of speech it s the veteran not the community organizer who gives us the freedom to demonstrate it s the military who salutes the flag who serves beneath the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag who allows the protester to burn the flag van t barfoot posted by jacqueline francis at 12 39 pm 1 comments thursday april 22 2010 heard about all them folks protesting as if i really want this war but that don t stop me from believing there s just somethings worth fighting for and if i die before you wake i pray the world will take a good look at what god s given us if we could only understand everything is in his hand all we need s a little faith and trust i want you to know it ain t too high a price to pay if i die before you wake posted by jacqueline francis at 1 09 pm 0 comments wednesday april 21 2010 homeward bound i found out yesterday that the advanced party replacements have arrived in helmand province afghanistan which means brandon is coming home soon i m posting this video i found from a friend on facebook who s son is a marine with brandon s company it touched me deeply the photographs and especially the song which was song by the mormon tabernacle choir called homeward bound here are the lyrics in the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to bed when the sparrows stop their singing and the sky is clear and red

and like the body it needs constant feeding the mortal body would soon be emaciated and die if there were not frequent feedings the tender flower would wither and die without food and water and so love also cannot be expected to last forever unless it is continually fed with portions of love the manifestation of esteem and admiration the expressions of gratitude and the consideration of

excuse first off i want to apologize deeply to anyone who may have or may not have heard that i said something to hurt them in any way secondly in my small small small defense i need you to know a little bit about me i am terrified of groups and people in general i want you to like me so badly that i ve even been diagnosed with social anxiety and medicated on and off in my life for it when i was in preschool i would come home crying and tell my mom that i had no friends even if i did have people who liked me or occasionally played with me sometimes and some days i say things i don t mean things that are too mean things that don t make sense and things that are probably really hurtful i am not a perfect person and i don t expect others to be again i am very sorry if i ever said or did something that was contradictory to how i really felt or how things really are i have a hard time expressing myself and sometimes when it comes out it comes out wrong or distorted by my own insecurities just know please that i am trying very hard for you to like me and to know you better and in that endeavor i say too much about me or too much about you or too much about too much and i m sorry i truly am also know that i am trying to be better and more sensitive to the plain fact that most people just want to be loved as they are and not changed into someone i can love more easily i do want to know you i want to make you laugh and smile and feel happy when you are sad and happy just in general i like people a lot i like you i do but give me a chance posted by jacqueline francis

prayer rock he wrote remember so that he would remember the good things in life his scriptures the gospel his wife wahoo his family and home so that even though he might be in a bad place or having a hard time he can remember what is good fin posted by jacqueline francis at 9 32 am 1 comments saturday march 20 2010 novel ideas together we mean something like a book if it was separated it would

danger several months ago i don t remember feeling distressed i am talking of course about dying not about being killed if shells started falling about this house i should feel quite differently an external visible and still worse audible threat at once wakes the instinct of self preservation into fierce activity i don t think natural death has any similar terrors before brandon left we discussed often and with great passion the topic of death ironic that nowadays that s the last thing i want to think about or speak of however since it seems to be a real thing although in mourning i must echo lewis s words when his wife died shortly after they were married i cannot describe the apparent unreality of my life since then i felt like this first quote explained a concept that i never got in conversation with brandon he used to say i m not afraid of death i m just not and that bothered me not only because his job demands he be careful about death and because i demand it but because
