  • Blue Ribbon Review (BRR) of Nuclear Weapons Policies and Procedures
    1.0 Executive Summary On 9 October 2007, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF) appointed Major General Polly A. Peyer to chair an Air Force blue ribbon review (BRR) of nuclear weapons policies and procedures. On 19 October 2007, the Secretary of the Air Force (SECAF) announced the formation of the BRR in a press conference. The CSAF tasked the review to take an enterprise-wide look at United States Air Force (USAF) nuclear responsibilities. Specifically, the CSAF highlighted a need to examine organizational structure; command authorities and responsibilities; personnel and assignment policies; and education and training associated with the operation, maintenance, storage, handling, transportation, and security of USAF nuclear weapons systems. The chair formed a cross-command, cross-functional team of 30 Airmen with a mix of ranks, skills, and experiences from five commands, Headquarters Air Force (HAF), the Air Force Safety Center, and the United States Navy (USN). The BRR team defined the nuclear enterprise as the spectrum of nuclear weapons management responsibilities, aircraft and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), within the USAF. The team visited 29 locations, met with 54 organizations, and interviewed 822 people. Additionally, the team researched more than 250 books, periodicals, reports, papers, publications, and documents. The results are organized in five areas: • Leadership and Relationships • Mission Focus and Culture, History, Safety, and Surety • Training and Force Development • Transportation, Accountability, Tracking, Scheduling, and Security • Organization and Resources As the United States (US) reduced its nuclear stockpile following the end of the Cold War, emphasis on nuclear weapons declined and the forces assigned to operate, maintain, and support the nuclear capability reduced accordingly, especially in flying units.

  • Introduction Soil Your Undies Or Soil My Undies Is an International Gimmick to Show That Soil Is Alive and to Guesstimate Its Vigor
    Introduction Soil your undies or soil my undies is an international gimmick to show that soil is alive and to guesstimate its vigor. A pair of brand-new 100% underpants is left underground to the mercies of soil biota, then retrieved after exactly two months for public display Here’s one of many descriptions. Procedures vary. The only standards seem to be 60 days underground and material all-cotton except for elastic waistband. It’s not clear to me whether the unmentionables used must be proper to females; several videos seem to show male briefs, which with the fly have more material. We did our first tests in summer 2018. Methods Two pairs of new white cotton male’s underwear were buried in our north park in August 2018 (a) on Aug 15 Fruit of the Loom boy’s (that was all I could find all-cotton at Target or Walmart) (b) on Aug 22 Calvin Klein men’s small size (32-34 “) Each pair was buried about 4 inches deep, laid flat with the sod replaced. No soil was put inside the cloth though this is done is at least one video. Both pairs were within 50 feet of where last year a soil sample had been submitted to a Comprehensive Analysis of Soil Health (CASH) at Cornell. On ten of the twelve dimensions that sample scored 93/100 or better. The overall score was 86 = OPTIMAL, pulled down from the high nineties by poor results for surface hardness and subsurface hardness, state-dependent variables.
