You don't concentrate on risks. You concentrate on results. No risk is too great to prevent the necessary job from getting done.

There were 5 shooters with well over $30K in equipment just a few yards away and these Pave Hawk drivers use their iPhone to take a photograph. What were we, chopped liver?

The Legend of the Guardian of the Line
The Greek God "Linus" comes from the Greek name Λινος (Linos) meaning "leg."
In Greek legend, he was the son of the God Apollo who was accidentally killed when he stepped over the white line.

This is the first operational Block III Apache, which was handed over to the Army in a ceremony yesterday at Falcon Field.  It was at Willie to see off the #2 guy at Boeing, who had flown in on a BBJ for the ceremony.
