Don - just because Carter (or anyone for that matter) is schooled in the art of war does not make them a warrior
I do agree with the majority here in that military experience should definitely be a plus, but by no means a "prerequisite"

Good one Griff - as a SNCO myself, I can appreciate the humor!
It is much easier for me to just access our records here at the base - it does provide a nice "baseline" to work from. Obviously, not for proving/debunking global warming, but simply a means to see how we have fared in the local area. I will say this though - when we break temperatures (low or high) here at the base, if the FNSB doesn't break their own records... they come darn close. So, in a way, I do consider our trend somewhat representative of what you'd see in the local area.
If you guys/gals are interested in seeing what the extreme high/low daily temperature records are, just PM me and I'll get you a copy.

Just for amusement & awareness sake (not trying to plug one side or beat up on the other), thought you'd all enjoy a little copy/paste from Eielson:
Low temperature record broken on Feb 7th of -47F
High temperature record broken on Feb 14th of 39F
High temperature record broken on Feb 17th of 39F
High temperature record broken on Feb 18th of 42F
High temperature record broken on Feb 20th of 46F
High temperature record broken on Mar 5th of 45F
High temperature record broken on Apr 3rd of 50F
High temperature record broken on Apr 4th 52F

Never been Lavelle's (just went to their website), but I have the sudden urge to run upstairs and break out a bottle from my favorite PA vineyard ;) I hope the three of you have a great convo!

I believe Stan Marsh (South Park) said it best:
"America is like a team. If you can't root for your team, get the *&%$ out of the stadium."
In order to keep deterrence on the minds of our adversaries, it is necessary to train like there is no tomorrow. I will never apologize for ensuring that two-bit dictators like Ahmadinejad, Chavez and Kim Jong Il would think twice about attacking our country.

nonpartisan - great post... couldn't have said it better
Can't imagine how many registered Democrats slapped their foreheads when Kerry managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

Aric - With 20 years of experience as a weather forecaster/observer, I can tell you that a PhD doesn't really mean squat in our field.
There are three types of weather people:
"Weathercasters" - minor in Meteorology, major in Broadcasting with very little to no applied knowledge, but they sure look great on tv!
"Meteorologists" - advanced degree in Meteorology and can talk about how Boyle's Law permutates into each forecast model, but can't forecast their way out of a wet paper bag
"Forecasters" - possess at least 2-4 years schooling in Meteorology, can reliably brief large groups of customers (from pilots to Joe Blow) AND have the applied knowledge of weather that really counts at the end of the day
Given as how the "meteorologists" still can't figure out how to create a more reliable forecast model and how little most "weathercasters" know about atmospheric physics/dynamics, I'll take a "forecaster" much serious 9 out of 10 times.
