Soldier was the gunner on a vehicle on Route GOLD, in the Nissan neighborhood (3-82's sector) if I remember right. An EFP detonated on the opposite side of the street, so it went high and only hit the gunner. I don't remember if it was a route clearance team or not.
My dad (1st Lieutenant at the time) was flying in an OH-6A over Cam Ranh Bay. The PIC was a WO2 (warrant officer). The surf was up and the WO2 decided to start clipping the tops of the breakers with the skids. Dad told him to knock it off, and he's like "I'm just having some fun." Dad says "I have control". "You can't do that. I'm the PIC!" Dad just repeats, "I. Have. Control."
Mississippi is named after the river. "Mississippi" means "Big River" in the language of the Ojibwe people. Ohio is the same, except it's derived from the Seneca language.
Arkansas is also named after the river, which in turn is named from the Algonquian word for the Quapaw people who lived there.
Colorado is a bit more vague.
Non-APFSDS rounds (HEAT, HESH) get spin, so are more accurate. The L30 cannon on the British Challenger 2 is rifled, so it can fire HESH (High Explosive Squash Head) rounds. The US M1 uses a fin-stabilized HEAT, sacrificing some HEAT round accuracy for superior APFSDS performance.

My parents live in one. It has 2 golf courses (dad still plays 3x a week). There's a bunch of clubs. R/C airplane club has it's own runway they built. The woodworking club has a really nice shop. I'd love to have one with a nice maker space.
Build a beer/wine fridge with that as the door.
You can fire Sabot out of a rifled barrel. The shell has an obturator that engages the rifling and prevents it from inducing spin.
If you flip that around it won't fit OP's receptacle. With the ground pin down and facing the outlet, the vertical spade is on the right. OP has a horizontal spade on the right.
I know. What gets me is I had predicted from the previous incidents there would be an IED along that spot, briefed Division there would likely be an IED there, tasked an asset to watch for an IED there, and still...
Typically, the emphasis is in finding out what happened, why it happened, and how to prevent it from happening. To do that, you need the cooperation of the flight crew without repercussions.

Assuming the US government goes along with this nonsense and allows Texas to secede...
The National Guard normally answers to the state governor (US Code Title 32). The President has the power to call the National Guard to Federal Service (Title 10). He could do that to force the issue.
He can't force Texas guard members to move. The only thing they could really do is cut off funding and attempt to recoup any bonus or tuition money (those are contingent on completion of additional service time).
The federal government would also try to reclaim any equipment and weapons they can. After that, they'd disband all TXNG units. Those would have to be reformed by Texas with some form of legislation.
Reserve units answer only to the federal government. Those units could be moved, although again, they can't really force members to relocate.
They could call everyone a deserter, but that's way too much paperwork for no gain. Legally, they'd probably discharge all Texas members such that they don't retain any benefits (VA, GI Bill). Allow those eligible to retire (but they still owe federal taxes on their retirement).
I grew up on Willy Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers, John Denver, Loretta Lynn, Crystal Gale, Dolly Parton. That's what my parents listened to, so that's what I listened to in the car and around the house. The first concert I went to was Willy and Waylon in Kansas City. I don't listen to them on a regular basis, but I do occasionally.
Don't have much use for newer country music. I did see Toby Keith perform in Iraq.
That may be the one. I was working Counter IED at the time. That was one we should not have missed.
Why do people persist in driving on the road? Tens of thousands of people are killed every year in road accidents. Less than 100 are killed by tornadoes.
Aside from division numbering, the hundreds and thousands digits can have specific meaning. All MASH units in Korea were assigned to Eighth Army, so they all started with 8xxx, (8055, for example) with the exception of the Norwegian NORMASH.
In WW2, tank destroyer battalions assigned to infantry divisions started with 6xx, so the 635th TD Battalion was assigned to the 35th Infantry Division.
During the late cold war, battalions within divisions all tended to share the same number. 5xx numbered units belonged to the Armored divisions, and 1AD had the 501st Signal Battalion, the 501st Combat Aviation Battalion, 501st MI Battalion, etc.
They also chose the 11th, 13th, and 17th Divisions for conversion to airborne divisions.
