Reporting in from the range (again!)...

[SHAG]

Hi,

Pictinnany is right down the road from in NJ. I know alot fo the Military weapon systems are designed there. However, they keep threatening to close the research center down for different things. One time it was the amount of Uraninium in the local. A few studies suggested polution of the local water supplies and other long term effects. On the lighter side of things, my boss's mom is the PX officer there and I know and knew a number of people who work there.

Later,
alan

a10

hey, my uncle is a 4 star general in the airforce in boston, or one of the cities close by it. anyways, while i was up there, he managed to get me and my brother a few bullets that are meant for the a10. i dont know if I am talking about the right plane, but the one he got me the bullets from is the plane that has the huge gun part at the end of the planes nose. i think these are the right bullets, and they are HUGE. the whole thing is about a foot long, more or less. i got to see one shoot, and it was awesome. he also was one of the main designers with some missle. i forget what it was called, but i remember it started with an h or an m. anyways, it has a camera at the end of it and you can guide it. it was really cool

CIWS stands for Close-In Weapon System, it is also known as Phalanx. It is a self-contained self-defense system designed to protect Navy ships from anti-ship cruise missiles.
