Load HEAT – Debra Messing
I haven’t seen “Smash”, “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”, “The Starter Wife”, or even “Will and Grace”. But I do know that XBradTC has a weakness for redheads. So I bring you this week’s Load HEAT, Debra Messing.
Load HEAT- Kaley Cuoco
I’m not a big fan of Big Bang Theory, though some in my family are. In fact, I just saw it for the first time about a week ago. Meh. If I wanted to hang out with dorks, I’d spend … Continue reading
Load HEAT- Mercedes Masohn
So, I personally like the quirky Bones spin-off The Finder. And of course, I like the sexy US Marshall played by Mercedes Masohn. Can you blame me?
Load HEAT- Jolene Blalock
I’ve been watching “Enterprise” on Netflix. After seeing Sub-Commander T’Pol in several fetching outfits, I thought she might do for Load HEAT. (If she doesn’t, blame me, not XBradTC.) Jolene Blalock has also appeared on House, CSI: Miami, Legend of … Continue reading
Vintage nose art
Roamy here. XBradTC seems to have lost internet access today, so I am putting up a much-promised post on nose art. I thought about a Load HEAT with these, but why wait until Monday? These are from the book, “Vintage … Continue reading
Load HEAT- Patti Ann Browne
It was hard finding enough decent pics, but I’m pleased to have Patti Ann Browne as this week’s Load HEAT. Time to watch some RedEye.
Load HEAT- Tea Leoni
So, we took yesterday off to celebrate our national independence with beer and BBQ. As the founding fathers intended! But that doesn’t mean we aren’t going to have Load HEAT this week. We’ve had a crush on Tea Leoni ever … Continue reading
Load HEAT- Leean Tweeden Edition
She does USO shows, was a Hooters girl (I think I met her at the Colorado Springs location), appears frequently on Red Eye, is the face of Rethinking Autism, and made this statement: Referring to the U.S. Military, “If it weren’t … Continue reading
Load HEAT- Kat Dennings
So, I’m not sure I really remember seeing Kat Dennings in anything, but some folks are pretty happy she’s getting her own show.
Uniformly Stupid? Part 2
See Part 1 here. I’m on the road, so I’ll be doing some “best of” posts. Right now, this is the most searched for post. While most people in the Army spend just about all their time in a working … Continue reading

The U.S. Army has formally announced its decision to terminate the Class I Unmanned Aerial System and the Tactical and Urban Unattended Ground Sensors, a move expected after the Army issued a stop-work order to prime contractor Boeing on Jan. … Continue reading
Pork
No, not political pork. I made a pork roast for dinner, and I thought it came out so well, I felt compelled to share it with you. Roast pork (with Merlot sauce when served), black-eyed peas, and a green salad. … Continue reading

Load HEAT
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, ate far too much on Thursday and are thoroughly tired of leftovers. Let’s get the week off to a good start. Tired of turkey legs? How about dancer’s legs instead? Bebe Neuwirth is best known … Continue reading
25th ID in Vietnam
I was poking around youtube looking for fuzzy kittens and came across this little clip. I hate Dan Rather, but it IS an interesting clip. Notice the M14s, and M14E2s. Also, the heavy artillery, the 175mm gun? Look at the … Continue reading

TUSK
For over 50 years, the US Army had a simple doctrine for using tanks in urban combat-Don’t. Oh, sure the manuals listed ways to use tanks in cities if you had to, but the emphasis was on avoiding towns and … Continue reading

More on the Defense Budget
I’m a little under the weather, and haven’t gotten around to a follow up on this post. Fortuitously, The Daily Mail has an article that addresses that very topic. But Chief of Staff General George Casey told the annual Association … Continue reading

The Soldier’s Load
I spent a goodly portion of my time as an infantryman in mechanized units. As such the load we carried was, while burdensome, not of any especially great importance. But I also spent a fair amount of time in a … Continue reading
Guns a Go-Go
Or, if you prefer, vintage gun pr0n. Rather blatantly stolen from Huey’s Gunsight
MRE’s with an international flavor
Big Dick (that’s his name, not a description) twigged me to this juicy bit in the NYT about how other countries deployed to Afghanistan feed their troops. Each year, among the countries with troops in Afghanistan — the current number … Continue reading

Coasties go SPECWAR
We don’t show a lot of love for the Coast Guard here. We feel kinda bad about that, because if we hadn’t joined the Army, we would have joined the Coasties. They may not be the most gung-ho uniformed service … Continue reading
