I was at Irwin for a series of technology demos, showing off the GBCS capabilities. The table next to mine was the Navy guys from China Lake.

Good evening, HJ and my...((HUGS))...that must have been quite the “video”. It’s 26 miles across the water....and then however many miles it is from China Lake to the coast.

I worked for NAWCWD for about five years. They have a great mission and do really neat stuff. There isn’t much to do at China Lake other than work as the site is very remote. I worked for one of their Detatchments at Kirtland AFB, NM.

My son is stationed there. Drove him out there in October. Beautiful area, but definitely secluded.

Good morning, Kathy!

*HUGS*

Looks as though it's time for you to hit the hay - sleep well and may Angels guard thee 'til morn'!



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
