It is time, after 11 years, to turn this legacy project over to another. MSgt Ernest Burns, HQ AMC/A3TK, at Scott AFB volunteered to take over the SIGNAL project starting with the 2011 edition. I arrived at this decision after much deliberation. I felt that even though I could have continued this project and potentially taken it with me into retirement, it has always been under the care of an Active Duty Boom Operator. Ernest will take this project into the future and with his fresh outlook I have no doubt that the SIGNAL will continue to grow and be a source of heritage for all Boom Operators. I appreciate all the positive support that I’ve received over the years during my tenure as Editor. With that being said… Welcome to the 2010 Edition of the BOOM SIGNAL! This is the 31st Anniversary Edition. Another year has flown by! I want to thank all the units that participated in this year’s Edition. As always, the goal is to have maximum participation in the SIGNAL. Congratulations to all Boom Operators who’ve competed and earned promotion since last year. Still waiting to see which manufacturer will provide us with the next refueling platform. The Center of Excellence has increased its fleet of static trainer aircraft with the addition of the KC- 135 Speckled Trout. (photos on page XX) The CoE continues expand its training prowess and is one-stop- shopping for Career Enlisted Aviator (CEA) training. The Boom Operator Weapon System Trainer unit #1 has completed burn-in period at Altus AFB. Unit #2 is installed and in testing. (photos on page XX) The contract for the AMC BOWST project has been awarded. These units are planned to be built and installed at our line units. The BOSS trainer for ANG units, is also in work. For those who aren’t familiar with the BOOM SIGNAL tradition, it’s a compilation of Unit inputs. It is the only one of its kind although several attempts have been made to copy it, without success. The intent of the BOOM SIGNAL is a communication link between each Boom Operator, past, present and future. It’s a historical document which started in 1979. I believe the BOOM SIGNAL goes hand-in-hand with the many traditions we uphold. As I’ve stated on more than one occasion; “Boom Operators are like one big family; no matter where you go; no matter whether you are Active, Retired, Guard or Reserve, you are always welcome and you always have something in common and you are family. I’d like to extend thanks to the following: CMSgt Dan Repp at HQ AMC, CMSgt James Boozer, Jr., at HQ AFRC, SMSgt Wayne Nelson at the ANG Bureau and other senior Boom Operators for assisting me in spreading the word for this year’s SIGNAL. Jim Reese & Steve Tuttle at Flight Safety, Altus AFB, for supporting the Class Rosters section. I finalized the project to recover and make available hard copies of all the SIGNAL’s for download on the website. Legacy and heritage is a large part of what being a Boom Operator is all about. I hope you enjoy the 2010 Edition of the BOOM SIGNAL.

  • Eliot, As Is Well Known, Chose Conrad's Words for His Epigraph to the Hoilow Men'
    LEITURA -INGLÊS: ENSINO E LITERATURAS, n, 36. p. 71-83, jul./dez, 2005 FROM LILAC TO LARKSPUR: SELF-REFUTATION IN T. S. ELIOTS LATER POETRYl^» Chris Joyce^*' Abstract: This paper argues tliat much of Eliot's poetr}'is xinconsdously self-refutational and self-deceived. Onr attention is distracted from tliis by its lyricism and inrensely personal poignancy. Disgust at the contemplation of humanity, and self-disgust, underlie Eliot's parodie treatment of life: the horror of the sinfulness of the flesh, which can 'only die'. I argue that, while \ve cannot ask a poet to give an untruthful report of experience,something is wrong when the creative faculty is given so strongly to expressions of general disgust, over and above ElÍot's anti-semitism, niisogyny, sexual ambivalence and prurience. To counterbalance this effect, Eliot posits tlie ambivalent 'enchantment' of 'death's twilight kingdom', with its promise of redemption from sin, and tlie enchantment of chüdhood memories, which he presents as uldmately beguiiing and illusory. But in 'Marina' die quasi-liturgical passage on spiritual death is 'placed' by the effect of the poem as a whole. Similarly, the life and vitaüty of the sixth section of 'Ash- Wednesday' evokes poetic values wliich repudiate the author's conscious intentions. In 'Little Gidding' he recalls Tliings ill done and done to others' harm.* Itis the compound ghost who speaks (containing the Eliodc alter-ego), die Brunetto Latini of Canto of the Inferno. That Eliot is, in a broad sense, sexually — and dierefore humanly — maladjusted explains die persistent presence in liis work of a condidon which 'remains to poison life and obstruct acdon,' His major cridcs have been curiously uncridcal in this regard.

  • A History of the University of Manchester Since 1951
    Pullan2004jkt 10/2/03 2:43 PM Page 1 University ofManchester A history ofthe HIS IS THE SECOND VOLUME of a history of the University of Manchester since 1951. It spans seventeen critical years in T which public funding was contracting, student grants were diminishing, instructions from the government and the University Grants Commission were multiplying, and universities feared for their reputation in the public eye. It provides a frank account of the University’s struggle against these difficulties and its efforts to prove the value of university education to society and the economy. This volume describes and analyses not only academic developments and changes in the structure and finances of the University, but the opinions and social and political lives of the staff and their students as well. It also examines the controversies of the 1970s and 1980s over such issues as feminism, free speech, ethical investment, academic freedom and the quest for efficient management. The author draws on official records, staff and student newspapers, and personal interviews with people who experienced the University in very 1973–90 different ways. With its wide range of academic interests and large student population, the University of Manchester was the biggest unitary university in the country, and its history illustrates the problems faced by almost all British universities. The book will appeal to past and present staff of the University and its alumni, and to anyone interested in the debates surrounding higher with MicheleAbendstern Brian Pullan education in the late twentieth century. A history of the University of Manchester 1951–73 by Brian Pullan with Michele Abendstern is also available from Manchester University Press.

Contrasts around me everywhere ... You-Me continually different. CHALLENGE Community High School West Chicago, Illinois Editor Denise Fiene Advisor Mrs. Katherine Coyner September 6, 1970 the freedoms of summer float away to leave with us the conformities of school. The rush-routine haunts our being with schedules, rules, and the confusion of procedures. For nine months the rush of classes, study and grades propels us onward to question ourselves, our future, our hopes and goals - the quest to accomplish. Amidst the haste and boredom of routine to which we must succomb we are all separate and individual, standing one to another in contrast. 3 4 With an optimistic outlook, 1970-71 began, promising a year different from the uncertain­ ties of school year 1969-70. Activities were restored giving students a wide range of ways in which to express themselves. Students with similiar ideas joined into numerous groups according to common interests. Still some stu­ dents stood by themselves, seemingly apart from everyone else. Changes appeared throughout the building, from new policies to new teachers to a new superintendent. Superintendent Saimon took a special interest in the school. He was often seen at school activities or talking to students for a moment or two in the hall. He displayed his athletic ability during the game against the Harlem Diplomats. At the NHS Banquet he conversed casually with students while sampling senior opinions.
