A picture my old weapons platoon Gunnery Sergeant posted while on his deployment in Norway.
That’s one way to do a movie night with the boys.
Coming for the weekend like...

Work published this week in Trends in Plant Sciences seeks to determine whether plants can be used to detect human decomposition. Supported by the DARPA Advanced Plant Technologies program, the University of Tennessee-spearheaded study investigates how "cadaver decomposition islands," the zone immediately surrounding humans remains, may affect nutrient concentrations in soil, and how those changes in turn affect nearby plants. Researchers hope that this tool will enable forensic teams in search of missing persons to use remote sensing technologies to more rapidly identify the location of human remains.

Pop culture buffs: it’s the end of an era in Healy, Alaska. 🚌
Alaska National Guard soldiers recently airlifted “Bus 142” from where it had sat for decades. The bus, made famous by the book and film “Into the Wild,” was considered a public safety concern. Department of Natural Resources officials say it will be stored at a secure site while they consider what to do with it.
New Mascots of the 2e Régiment étranger de génie.
“They are thousands and work without release. All like our legionnaires, it is the unity of the group that makes their strength!
The "legionaries" bees of the #2 REG have been given the mission of providing lavender honey for the regiment.”
Apparently they maintain about twenty hives.

Struck by lightning!
A U.S. Coast Guard Air Station #Clearwater helicopter crew safely assisted a man when his vessel became disabled and grounded near Canaveral National Seashore after being stuck by lightning.
His vessel lost all electronics but he was able to request assistance with a hand held radio.
I sure do love the outdoors.
Thank God the Marine Corps hasn’t ruined this for me yet.
When you have to swim qual but you can't even see the bouy..
Went off trail with a couple of my buds a couple weeks ago. Never got to post this up.
Went on a late night hike with a couple of my good friends last night.
We walk on trail/dried up creek and just joked around. On the trail on of my pals was an inch away from a freaken possum and I was like "FUCK DUDE THAT'S A MOTHER FUCKER!" and shined the light on that bitch. He was drooling like crazy and we just backed off...
After the trail we went to Denny's at 0000 and ate unlimted pancakes (really just 5) and watched Generation Kill the rest of the night until we knocked out.
We were supposed to go hiking at 0500 but when we woke up, I just said we'll go at 0700...then when that came around, we all said fuck it and watched another episode of Generation Kill.
Fun sleep over.
Today's adventure! #Nature #Adventure
