We can call our Custom Navy Military Rings classic because they meet all of the requirements according to the definition of the word.

Should the Air Force Academy use Confidential Informants?
The Air Force Inspector General has been ordered to investigate the case of former Air Force Academy cadet Eric Thomas, who was expelled in April for actions Thomas said were part of his work as a confidential informant for the academy. There may be a question of whether this practice is ethical or not which [ ]

Are We Seeing Signs of things to Come in Afghanistan?
Reports that Afghan National Security Forces have been handing over checkpoints to the Taliban in locally arranged peace deals have recently surfaced concerning the conflict taking place there. I personally don t doubt that this is the case at all. Americans have the inherent fallacy of believing that no matter where we go in the world [ ]

Has the Aircraft Carrier Seen it’s Last War?
Now of course I know that the aircraft carrier as a weapon will always exist but I do believe that in future wars there will have to be some major changes in order for the carrier to remain a functional and viable weapon. The carrier s biggest advantage is also it s greatest disadvantage which is [ ]

What's Up Mr McCain?
What's Up Mr McCain? The word on capitol hill is that Senator John McMain is blocking the nomination of President Obama’s nominee to be the director of National Intelligence. Retired General John R Clapper was unanimously approved by the Senate Intelligence Committee to be the new intel chief but for whatever reason Senator McCain wants to play games and block the nomination.
The stated reason is that he is supposedly holding up the nomination until General Clapper provides him with a document. The naure of this document is undisclosed but it seems to have nothing to do with the General’s nomination. This is just a bunch of Mr McCain’s political shenanigans that no one other than Senator McCain can have a reason for. Politics is one thing but business is another. Whether he likes President Obama or not is not the point. We need to get this man in office so that he can begin to do the job that we need him to do. I could see holding up the nomination if there was a legitimate reason to but this is just a little bit silly. This is the kind of prank that I would expext an elementary school child to pull, not one of the highest ranking leaders of this country.
We should not be petty minded in our dealings. We need to do what’s right. We don’t need to play games when the national security of this country is at stake. Now let me say that I don’t know anything at all about General Clapper. I do not know whether he is qualified for the job or not so I will have to take the word of the Senate Intelligence Committand assume that he is capable of performing the new job. If they vouch for him he must be OK. So as far as the military ring man is concerned let’s put this man to work so that he can contribute to this countries peace and security.

The New F-35 Lightning II
The New F-35 Lightning II The new F-35 Lightning II is the newest single seat, single engine, multirole, stealth, fighter. This multirole fighter has been designed to replace several aircraft in use now. It will replace the F-16, the A-10, the F/A-18, and the AV-8B.
Right away the thing that jumps out at me is the fact that one airplane will replace so many other different aircraft with so many varied functions. I can see how it will be so much easier to support and maintain. The first thing which jumps out at me is the fact that there will be so many fewer spare parts to keep track of and to maintain. That translates into a huge savings right off of the bat. Also when you look at the variety of missions that it performs you should notice that you don’t have to train a variety of pilots on a lot of different aircraft. This alone will result in a savings of billions of dollars required to train our Pilot’s ring customers on a variety of aircraft.
The F-35 is second to the F-22 Raptor as a fighter plane. It is 4x more effective than any other existing fighter, 8x more effective than any existing air to ground combat aircraft, and 3x more effective than any existing recon and Air Defense suppression air craft.
The F-35 has better range and is easier to maintain than the aircraft that it eill replace but check this out. The fighter does not have to point at the target that it shoots at because of the helmet technology that it uses. The pilot merely has to use the display in his helmet to sight, and fire at his target.

Marines are not Filling out the Don’t Ask Survey
Marines are not Filling out the Don’t Ask SurveyMarines are not Filling out the Don’t Ask Survey
August 2, 2010 posted by OldWarriorcomments (0) Marine Corps ring customers are not filling out the surveys about the don’t ask don’t tell policy that the armed forces now has. There needs to be a certain number of the surveys done before the powers that be can conduct some kind of evaluation to determine how effective the policy is and what needs to be changed. I can tell them though that it will not happen.
Let the military ring man drop a little knowledge on you about the situation. I was once a young officer in an Artillery Battalion where one such survey was passed out for us to fill out. This particular survey was about our Battalion Commander who’s real name was James B. It asked us what we thought about him and supposedly our information would remain anonymous to the commander. Even though the entire Officer’s Corps talked about him like a dog behind his back I was the only fool honest enough to say what I really thought. Now as you can see I was not the sharpest knife in the drawer by any means and I wouldn’t do the same thing if it happened today, but I did at the time and paid for it dearly. The survey was set up so that he could find out who said what as everyone else had sense enough to know.
Once I got myself put on his hit list there was no amount of butt kissing that would get me back in his good graces. I didn’t try to kiss his butt to get there because it would not have worked anyway. This was the lesson that cost me my career because I never did recover from the pen whipping that that colonel (small c) put on me.
These Marine Corps ring customers and everyone else in my unit had a whole lot more sense than I did so let me tell the powers that be this; even if you coerce them into filling out the surveys you won’t get accurate results because they know better than to tell you the truth. Can you handle the truth?

The Taliban Offers to Exchange the Body of a Serviceman for Prisoners
The Taliban Offers to Exchange the Body of a Serviceman for Prisoners Supposedly the Taliban has offered to exchange the body of a Navy serviceman for prisoners who were captured in an ambush. They have reported that the two were ambushed when the drove the vehicle that they were in into a Taliban stonghold by mistake. Now if the Taliban did offer a prisoner exchange I don’t know what kind of math that they were using. One dead body does not equate to live prisoners, I don’t care how you divide it.
The two may have gotten lost when they took a turn on a good paved road which they could have mistaken for the main road. In this case the main road was not in good condition. What most Americans don’t realize is that sometimes paved roads are hard to find in other countries. I can see how they could have made this mistake. You would naturally assume that the main road is the good one.
The US and NATO have verified that the two went missing and a search is underway. They have been sending out patrols, setting out fliers, and are offering a $20,000.00 reward for information leading to their rescue. Afghan officials say thet the two did not inform them in advance that they would be travelling through the area. I would assume that since these two were Navy ring personnel that they were SEALs, but the Navy has not identified the type of unit that they were in.
The biggest question is why were they out alone? This is a mystery to me since I am a military man and I know that things are not usually done that way. Now I can be wrong but it seems to me that these two men were on some kind of mission of their own. Maybe it was work related and they thought that they could quickly take care of business and return. Sometimes its when things seem like they will be easy that you encounter your biggest problems.

http://mrnashia.wordpress.com/2010/07/26/learn-how-to-apply-the-power-of-persuasion/
http://mrnashia.wordpress.com/2010/07/26/learn-how-to-apply-the-power-of-persuasion/The thing that makes a person a true leader is his or her power to persuade people to do their bidding. The best leader is the natural leader who does not have to be an authority figure in order to get people to do his bidding. This person is one that has mastered the art of persuasion and knows how to apply it to everyday life.
Now before we continues let me clean up the term “Power of Persuasion” for you. You don’t have to be a con artist to persuade people. Nor do you have to be a fast talker or a manipulator. Unfortunately many people who have mastered the art of persuasion have internalized these traits also. We normally see some degree of each of these traits in a persuasive person, but this is not what I advocate here.
As a leader I learned that the best way to get people to do what you want is to get them to buy into your program. You hear this term used by college and professional football coaches all of the time. When you actually analyze what they are saying you can rephrase it this way. Both the coach and the player want to win. The coach is the expert and the player is the muscle in the plan. When the coach can convince the player that in order for both of us to get what we want you have to do it this way then the player has bought into the coaches plan. He doesn’t have to beat him across the head to get him to buy in and he doesn’t have to make him perform against his will. He simply has to show they player that if he listens he can get what he wants from the situation.
You have to make the person want to follow to be the best leader that you can be. Have you seen the child and mother in a public place where the mother threatens the child as convincingly as she can but the child stubbornly continues to resist. What you have witnessed is the parent’s attempt to control the child by force. This is unnatural to humans and we will fight back when we perceive that we are being forced to do something. When the follower is convinced that it is in his or her own interest to do what you want you become more effective as a leader.
Have you ever noticed how scam artists operate? In order for the scam to work they have to first convince you that you will get something more out of the deal when you follow the course of action that they have outlined for you. People in essence deceive themselves when they are scammed. That’s what it takes for the scam to work. Now let me say again that I am not advocating scamming anyone but I am using this example to explain my point.
You must be a good listener in order to be a good leader. Listen to what the person, follower, or customer is saying but determine what they really want. Many times the person won’t be able to express it clearly because they aren’t sure. If you carefully analyze their statements you will be able to determine what it is that they really want.
After you have gotten into their mind so to speak you need to formulate a plan to help them get to where they want to go. Now if you can tie their desired destination in with your own plans you will be able to persuade them to buy into your program.
People resent it when you try to force them to buy into your plan so you are not attempting to manipulate them. You are attempting to help them. If they are unclear in their own minds you will need to state what they want to them, don’t tell them what they want just phrase what you think that they are saying to them. Once they agree you will have no problem convincing them to buy into your plan. http://cedricrice-A.webcopycat.com

North Korea Promises a Physical Response to our Drills
North Korea Promises a Physical Response to our Drills There is another calamity in addition to the Gulf oil spill. Just like the oil has flowed into the Gulf of Mexico from the damaged oil well diarrhea continues to flow from the mouths of North Korea’s leaders. The latest is their promise that the joint US, South Korean naval exercise which is being conducted now will result in a physical confrontation. Even they can’t believe that because they have to know that any provocation to us would result in them being twisted like a pretzel.
I don’t know how or why the Chinese and the Russians put up with them but I would have given them an emena a long time ago. It is so obvious that their leadership is out of touch with reality by the off centered remarks that they make. I am sure that right about now the South Korean military would love an excuse to kick some North Korean butt. If I were the North Koreans I would take advantage of the fact that I was able to get a free shot in on the South Korean navy and lay low.
Whatever you do my military ring customers don’t take the South Korean military for granted. I have worked with them before and they kick butt and take names. they are deadly serious about defending their country and they will not tolerate any slack when it comes down to doing so. They would not hesitate to attack North Korea and may have done so a long time age if the US hadn’t been there to restrain them. If you are worried about who would win a renewed conflict on the Korean Penninsula let me tell you that my money is on the South Korean military.

North Korea Warns that Exercises will Threaten Security
North Korea Warns that Exercises will Threaten Security The North Korean government warned the US and South Korea that they need to call off their scheduled military exercise this weekend because it places the region in danger.
Now my precious military ring customer let me say this to you. It would be a grave mistake for the US or South Korea to even answer this rambling lunacy. Doing so would glorify it and make the North Koreans not look like the aggressors in this situation. It doesn’t deserve a response. As a matter of fact if I were the Chinese I would fire them from being my ally for having a constant, chronic case of diarrhea of the mouth.
The problem that makes them bold is that the United Nations was too wimpy to assign the blame on them for sinking the Cheonan although the whole world knows that they did.
Now my custom military ring customers let me ask you this; What would the world and the UN say if we had sank a North Korean Naval vessel? I just don’t get it. You had better believe that they would have their panties in a serious bunch. Its a good thing that I’m not commander in chief because I would blow up the North Koreans and point my missiles at the United Nations and dare them to say anything.
I guess its a good thing that I was a soldier and not a politician. I’m just not that good at diplomacy.

Biden Claims that he Wasn’t Bothered by McChrystal’s Comments
Biden Claims that he Wasn’t Bothered by McChrystal’s Comments Our Vice President claims that he wasn’t really bothered by General McChrystal’s negative remarks about him to Rolling Stone magazine but I don’t believe it. There’s not a man or woman in the world who wouldn’t have been upset behind those remarks. Mr Biden says that he didn’t view the remarks as being personal and they probably weren’t, but it probably did tick him off. Now the backdoor political catfighting that I remember seeing when I was in the military was that when you were responsible for wrecking someones career you would hide the hands that threw the rock by pretending to like the person that you just backstabbed. If the remarks didn’t bother our VP why is he talking about them now?
OK let me give you the official stance of the military ring man on this one. Yes General McChrystal should have been sacked behind that performance. He knows it as well as every other custom military ring customer that I have. It caused us to have to scramble to show that we are united in our cause in Afghanistan. That’s why you see so many government officials going to Afghanistan right now and preaching unity.
On the other hand Joe Biden and every one else needs to let this thing die a quick death. Its over Joe, let it be. Lets forget about it and move on. It happened, it is what it is, so lets forget it and move on.

http://mrnashia.wordpress.com/2010/07/23/learning-how-to-take-control-of-your-circumstances/
http://mrnashia.wordpress.com/2010/07/23/learning-how-to-take-control-of-your-circumstances/There are two basic types of people in the world, those who are active and inner directed, and those who are passive and other directed. The term that is used for these two types in prison is usually the words predators and prey. You are one of these types. Which are you?
The inner directed person feels that he or she is in control of their situation. They are the leaders in life. They are not much moved and swayed by the opinions of others unless they need to be cognizant of others opinions in order to get their own way. Now let me say before I go any farther that we all fit in somewhere on the scale. There a few on the extreme left and some others on the extreme right, but most of us fit in the middle somewhere.
The self directed person is the one who will do all of the talking. He or she likes power and the feeling of being in control. They like to see the effects of their deeds on others, whether those deeds are good or bad.
On the other side of the spectrum is the person who is directed by others. This person is usually the victim of the whims of the self directed person. This person is introverted and usually quiet. This person is also known as a passive player. Now once again keep in mind that I am talking extremes. There is a very wide range of room in the middle and all behavior of these two personalities is not described in such black and white terms. It may in fact be difficult to distinguish one of these personalities from the other.
If you are one of the other directed persons and want to move into the realm of being self directed it is possible with a little work from you. Do you remember that I said that the self directed person likes to see the effects of his or her actions on other people or things? Seeing is the key. You must learn how to see the thing that you want to happen and then operate out of that vision. The key to the situation is in your mindset.
You must start to visualize your change before you can get it to happen. If you can’t see it you can’t expect it to happen for you. Learn how to see the end result and think of life only as a means to an end. The end is getting the thing to happen that you want to happen. You must first believe that it will happen. Once you buy into your vision you will work diligently to bring it to pass. The confidence that you will inspire will spur others on to help you in your cause. The single biggest factor to get others to have confidence in you is to develop confidence in your self.
People tend to want to follow the person who is sure of the direction that they will take to accomplish what they need to accomplish.
Write down the thing that you want to accomplish. Plan it out from A to Z. Once you write it down it will be much easier to visualize. Once you learn how to visualize you will truly internalize. Once you have truly internalized your goals others will see that you are confident in your ability to perform and will want to hitch up to your star. As more and more people begin to hitch up to your star you will gain momentum in the quest to realize your goals in life. Riceland Enterprises
The inner directed person feels that he or she is in control of their situation. They are the leaders in life. They are not much moved and swayed by the opinions of others unless they need to be cognizant of others opinions in order to get their own way. Now let me say before I go any farther that we all fit in somewhere on the scale. There a few on the extreme left and some others on the extreme right, but most of us fit in the middle somewhere.
The self directed person is the one who will do all of the talking. He or she likes power and the feeling of being in control. They like to see the effects of their deeds on others, whether those deeds are good or bad.
On the other side of the spectrum is the person who is directed by others. This person is usually the victim of the whims of the self directed person. This person is introverted and usually quiet. This person is also known as a passive player. Now once again keep in mind that I am talking extremes. There is a very wide range of room in the middle and all behavior of these two personalities is not described in such black and white terms. It may in fact be difficult to distinguish one of these personalities from the other.

The Taliban’s Leader Urges Attacks on Women and Children
The Taliban’s Leader Urges Attacks on Women and Children The de facto leader of the Taliban has ordered his field commanders to begin to target women and children who assist the US and NATO allies in their war effort. He told them to capture and kill the women and to also target the other Afghan civilians who work either for or with our allies.
This is a reversal of his previous stance where he ordered his soldiers to be careful when they targeted their victims. Now those of you who know me know exactly where I am getting ready to go right now. I can’t understand for the life of me why no one will complain about the Taliban using the tactics that they do when all concerned cry hard and long when we accidentally harm innocents. Don’t get me wrong folks, it is a terrible thing when we or anybody else kill innocent civilians,but the difference is that we don’t do it on purpose.
Our rules of engagement are more lenient on Taliban fighters than the Taliban is on civilians. We treat enemy combatants with more respect than they give innocents.
Our military ring customers in Afghanistan are asked to restrain themselves to the point of personal danger when engaging combatants. The same combatants will wantonly slaughter anyone in their way without remorse and nothing much is said. I just don’t get it folks. Is there something seriously wrong or is it just me?

http://mrnashia.wordpress.com/?p=292&preview=trueYour mindset effects every other part of your being. Your effectiveness
begins with your mindset. If the mind is not right other aspects of
your personal life will be out of kilter. Start out with a positive
attitude.
Remember the words that you speak have an effect on your circumstances.
Spoken words set an operating tone whether that tone is positive or
negative.
Remember that you are just as important as the next man or woman. You
may not be able to do what they can, but I guarantee that they can't
do what you can. This makes you even.
Good food and exercise also effect your mindset. Healthy foods keep
you functioning at your mental peak. So does exercise. Both are vital

The Army’s New Wearable Robotics
The Army’s New Wearable RoboticsJuly 21, 2010 posted by OldWarrioradd comment | read comments (0) The US Army is working on a new uniform which will be called the RBU. This acronym stands for Robotic Battlefield Uniform. This uniform is essentially an exoskeleton which will utilize mechanical hydraulics, and computer electronics to give the individual soldier the ability to carry hundreds of pounds of equipment as though it were nothing. This would certainly enhance the capabilities of every small infantry type unit in the military.
You might have heard of light forces using the term “Having to hump equipment.” Think about how light forces have to carry all of their food, water, ammunition, first aid, weapons, specialized equipment, and spare clothing with them on the battlefield. Now think about how they may have to do so in extreme weather and terrain. Imagine what it is like having to walk through desert sand, or climb mountainous rocky terrain in 130 degree heat loaded down with stuff that you need to do your job. Now imagine doing this while wearing a helmet and flak vest and carrying a machine gun. You just have to do it a few times to really get an appreciation of it. Once you do you will intimately appreciate every piece of equipment that I have just mentioned.
I can see how this will greatly benefit our Special Operators who have to perform long range reconnaissance missions. They have to know how to live off of the land because they just can’t always carry all of the food that they need. Anything that works is subject to breaking down and that is the question with me. What if this uniform malfunctions in the field? They would have to leave vital equipment behind. Doing so would compromise the operation because the enemy would know that they were in the area.

US National Guard Troops will Deploy to the Border
US National Guard Troops will Deploy to the BorderJuly 21, 2010 posted by OldWarrioradd comment | read comments (0) The United States will deploy National Guard Troops to the border with Mexico to aid with it’s control. The troops will begin to deploy on the first of August and will assist the US Border Patrol with the interdiction of smugglers, and illegal immigrants. They will be armed but will only be able to use their weapons in self defense. State governments have complained that this will not be enough to control the border but the federal response is that states are welcome to send their own troops at their own expense.
There is a rash of drug related violence along the borders. The drug cartels are growing more openly violent and bold in their profession. The troops will not be sent to serve as a police force but maybe their presence will have a dampening effect. I believe that once the smugglers and immigrants realize that they won’t be fired on they will become that much bolder.
The US has also recently began to use drones to assist in border control efforts. Our National Guard ring customers will also be joined by additional customs agents in this effort.
It is unfortunate that we have to almost militarize our borders but we have to do what we have to do in order to get the situation under control.
