Patchelicious Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 I was born in the early 80's so was too young to understand the Wall coming down.I was 6, and I vaguely remember it. What is scary is that it feels like a lifetime ago. Think back to how long ago it was, how much has happened in your life since then. Now imagine those poor souls who had to live with it for that length of time... Sepia and Hairy 2

Paddaman Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 This is an ongoing OP SEC problem. As smart devices get smarter, more accurate data, and more data points get captured. IT only takes a clever research student to collate the data to start pulling interesting conclusions. For instance "which is the fittest military?" Design: Identify a few known bases in Africa, one French, one US and One UK. Pull the strava segments, compare the times, heart rates ext of the top ten athletes for each segment and compare. Volia, if there is a significant diference then you have a winner. What is unit routine? Plot the time and duration of each run at the base for about three months and you have a broad outline regarding when PT is done (normally before meals or after guard change). Fill in the missing bits. Unit perimeter? Runs are normally conducted just inside the perimeter of a base!

I met an East German wall jumper whilst still at school. Was fascinating talking to the old chap about life under the Stasi and how they planned their escape. I went away to places and we lost contact. Then in early 2000 I bumped into him again, retired and living a Bohemian life style for such an old chap. Patchelicious and Hairy 2

Paddaman Posted February 6, 2018 Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) Could be a cool is a few bases embrace this and send some cool strava art into space.US Air Force pilots tend to do this with the Cem-trails of their jets. The UK Marines did a unique fly past when they decommissioned the harriershttp://www.strangecosmos.com/images/content/173992.jpg Edited February 6, 2018 by Paddaman Hairy, Gravity, Wannabe and 2 others 5
