PUNISHED for a Good Deed! ??
5 yrs in Prison???
$10,000.00 fine????
Shame!!!!
He needs to be applauded!!
Make this go viral!!
Share with everyone!!!


Valley Marine calls himself to duty at an Elementary school.
Sgt. Craig Pusley wears his desert camo fatigues...no weapons...just him.
He took it upon himself to go to the nearby school and stand watch outside.
The school loved it.
The principal thanked him.
No pay...no breaks...just his heart felt need to do this.
His reward?
Marine Corp Reservists says he violated protocol by wearing his fatigues and not his dress uniform in public.
Facing $10,000 fine and 5 years in prison.
Also getting a "dishonorable" stamp on his "honorable" discharge.
He served 2 tours in Iraq, in Baghdad and Ramadi.
One in Helmand province of Afghanistan before leaving active duty.

Now he is writing a letter to the President apologizing for his actions.

WAKE UP AMERICA!
This man is a wonderful outstanding brave hero in my book and to think for a second that his heart felt need to go stand in front of his “little neighborhood school” was wrong.

The President should be sending him a Thank you letter.

So I salute you Sgt. Craig Pusley.
Thank you!

This is something I would like to see go viral.
Let's stand up and say; Thank you to this man who didn't think twice...he followed his heart and there is no crime in doing that.

PLEASE Share with Everyone!!!
A "Fine" is a tax for doing wrong:
A "Tax" is a fine for doing well!



Blond Jag Owner. LOL












This isn't just another Blonde Joke...it's probably THE Blonde Joke..
The rich blonde,
Buys a new automatic Jaguar XKR Sport. She drives the car perfectly well
during the day,
but at night, the car just won't move at all. After trying to drive the car
at night for a
week (but without any luck), she furiously calls the Jaguar dealers and they
send out a
technician to her.
The technician examines the car and finds nothing wrong with it. So he turns
to the blonde
and asks: "Ma'am, are you sure you are using the right gears?"
Full of anger, the blonde replies:
"You fool, you idiot, how on earth could you ask such a question?

I'm not stupid you know! Of course I am using the right gears; I use D
during the day and N at night."

Companies line up to drill after survey shows Dakota oil, gas fields far bigger than believed


By Barnini Chakraborty
Published May 02, 2013
FoxNews.com

WASHINGTON – Energy companies are lining up for their shot to drill in the Dakotas and Montana after a new government report revealed that a massive geological formation stretching across the states contains twice the oil and three times the amount of natural gas than was originally believed.
While the new estimate is drawing smaller companies to the game, the larger players like Schlumberger, Halliburton and Continental Resources are pushing forward with ambitious multi-year plans to stake their claim in the industry.
Continental recently announced a five-year plan to triple its production by 2017. The company’s growth is based on success in North Dakota and Montana as well as in parts of Oklahoma.
The dash to drill follows news from the government on how much more oil and natural gas there is to tap.
“These world-class formations contain even more energy resource potential than previously understood, which is important information as we continue to reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign sources of oil,” newly confirmed Interior Secretary Sally Jewell said Tuesday in a statement.
The new U.S. Geological Survey estimates there are 7.4 billion barrels of oil, 6.7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 0.53 billion barrels of natural gas liquids in the Bakken and Three Forks Formations in the Williston Basin Province of Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Since 2008, close to 450 million barrels of oil have been produced in the area and if the government estimates are correct, that leaves billions of barrels of oil and trillions more cubic feet of natural gas left for the taking.
That’s good news for North Dakota -- a state that’s already reaped big benefits from the oil boom and has one of the strongest state economies in the country coupled with an exceptionally low unemployment rate. Tax revenues from natural gas and oil hit $1 billion last year in North Dakota and the state is on track to double that number next year.
Republican Sen. John Hoeven believes numbers from the new USGS survey will draw even more developers to the area.
“This will mean a lot of jobs,” he told FoxNews.com. “Financially we are already very strong, we have no debt, but this will mean a lot more. Stores, restaurants, movie theaters – we’ll have to build and we’ll have to hire workers.”
The competition to court employees is already on at the McDonalds in Dickinson, N.D. where prospective hires are being lured in with $300 signing bonuses, Hoeven said.
Calls to McDonalds Corp. for comment were not immediately returned.
Some environmental experts like John Harju, associate director for research with the Energy and Environmental Research Center at the University of North Dakota, believe the possibilities are even greater than what the government forecasts.
“Like any of these USGS estimates, think of them as a milemarker that’s well behind you in the rearview mirror,” he told the Grand Forks Herald in North Dakota.
Still, not everyone is as gung-ho as Hoeven about drilling for natural gas, and the controversial process known as fracking used to access it.
The government hopes to calm some opposition to natural gas by releasing a set of draft rules to regulate hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. The process involves injecting a high-pressure mix of water, sand and chemicals deep into rock formations to release trapped oil and gas.
Supporters say the drilling method should continue and is credited for the country’s domestic energy boom. They say fracking gives the country a chance to cut its dependence on foreign oil.
Environmental groups have long objected to the practice and say it pollutes the groundwater and kills crops and livestock. They also argue that fracking releases heat-trapping methane gas into the air.
But in mid-April, the Environmental Protection Agency dramatically lowered its estimate of how much methane leaks during natural gas production. The agency said that tighter pollution controls put in place by the industry from 1990 to 2010 cut the country’s average of methane emissions by more than 850 million metric tons overall, or about 41.6 million metric tons annually. That’s a 20 percent decrease from previous EPA estimates – a decrease that took place as natural gas production in the country grew by nearly 40 percent in the past two decades.
It is not clear exactly when the government will release its fracking regulations, but it is expected in the next few weeks.

Navy unveils first squadron of drones amid debate over use in warfare

CORONADO, CALIF. – The Navy is inaugurating its first squadron with unmanned aircraft, formally adopting drone technology amid debate over its growing use in warfare.

Military officials will launch the maritime strike squadron called "Magicians" on Thursday at the Naval Air Station North Island base on Coronado, near San Diego.

The squadron will have eight manned helicopters and a still-to-be-determined number of the Fire Scout MQ-8 B, an unmanned helicopter that can fly 12 continuous hours, tracking targets.

Lt. Aaron Kakiel says the squadron will be aboard the Navy's new littoral combat ship in about a year.

He says most Navy drones now are operated by contractors overseen by military personnel.

The squadron's creation comes 100 years after the formation of the first Navy air detachment.

The Air Force has various drone squadrons.
