Hello Tumblr!

My name is A, I am 19 years old and am studying CS in college. My goal right now is to graduate December 2024 and enlist into the US Army with either an 18x contract or as a 35P and then going to RASP. This Tumblr blog will be a sort of diary for me in the meantime; tracking workouts, thoughts, ideas - anything I want, its my blog. Here are my current metrics:

Height: 5'3

Weight: 110

SQ/B/DL: 150/125/185

I haven't been running the past couple weeks so I'm just getting back into the swing of things with a 3 miler on the treadmill since it was raining today. I will run 2 miles tomorrow for time, for another starting metric.

U.S. Air Force Selects Fast Microreactor for Nuclear Power Pilot

As part of the federal nuclear microreactor pilot program, the U.S. Air Force is planning to install its first nuclear microreactor at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. The selected microreactor is an Oklo liquid metal-cooled fast reactor.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), representing the Department of Air Force (DAF), issued a Notice of Intent to Award (NOITA) on August 31. This NOITA designates Oklo’s Aurora Powerhouse, based in Santa Clara, California, for the U.S. Air Force Base pilot project and commences the acquisition process with the potential to grant Oklo a 30-year, firm-fixed-price contract to implement this advanced nuclear energy technology.

U.S. Air Force Land lease agreement

The Micro-Reactor Pilot Program, initiated in response to a requirement in the Fiscal Year 2019 National Defense Authorization Act, aims to develop and operate at least one licensed micro-reactor by December 31, 2027. This micro-reactor will supply power and steam to a defense base under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA). U.S. Air Force Base was selected as the site for the first microreactor by DAF in October 2021. This choice was influenced by factors such as the base’s resilient power needs for mission assurance, limited access to clean energy, existing energy infrastructure, and a compatible climate, as stated by the agency.

Oklo will be responsible for the site selection, design, construction, ownership, and commercial operation of the microreactor. However, the Department of Air Force (DAF) will enter into a land lease agreement and a 30-year fixed-price power purchase agreement (PPA) with Oklo once Oklo obtains a combined operating license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

Flexible carbon-free energy

The Notice of Intent to Award (NOITA) from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) follows a request for proposals issued in September 2022, with the proposal period closing on January 31, 2023. After selecting a vendor and issuing the NOITA, DAF’s next steps will involve permitting and licensing activities. DAF is expected to commence a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) assessment by 2024. The demonstration and operational testing of the microreactor is targeted to commence by the end of 2027, although this timeline is considered tentative and subject to change, as noted.

According to the Department of U.S. Air Force (DAF), the pilot project aims to investigate the potential of the micro-reactor in delivering dependable and flexible carbon-free energy. These micro-reactors are equipped with inherent safety features that adapt to changing conditions and demands, thereby preventing overheating, as stated by the agency. Given their ability to operate independently from the commercial grid and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, micro-reactors hold promise as a power source for remote domestic military installations that are crucial to national security infrastructure.

Although more popular on large caliber hunting and target rifles, the Evolution bipod creates an impressively stable platform for battle rifles when precise shots are needed.

🇩🇪 The East German Motor Rifle Squad (Mot-Schützengruppe) after the adoption of the AK-74 in the late 1980s. It was fundamentally similar to the Soviet equivalent of the time, but with some slight differences. This is from an organization & equipment table for Mot.-Schützenregiment-9 dated 1986. It differs from earlier documentation by having one less Rifleman per squad. I'm unsure they decreased the squad size in the late 1980s.

⚔ The squad had 8-9 men, with a Squad Leader, Driver, Vehicle Gunner, Deputy Squad Leader/Rifleman, 2 Light Machine Gunners, RPG Operator, and Assistant RPG Operator. Squads in the early 80s also had 1 Rifleman. The Squad Leader would act as vehicle commander, but also dismounted with their squad.

⚔ One anamoly is even after adopting a domestically produced AK-74 in 5.45, they continued using the RPK in 7.62. The DDR couldn't immediately produce the RPK-74 due to the barrel length, and were working on a shorter barrel length equivalent in 5.45 at the end of the Cold War (the lMG-K-500).

⚔ The issue of RPG-18s (disposable light anti-tank weapons) most likely varied in practice and may not have been universal in peacetime. Officially there were meant to be about 48 RPG-18s per infantry company, which could theoretically give enough for 5 per squad.

⚔ The vast majority of Mot-Schutzen squads would be mounted on BTRs or BMP-1s. They only had two operational companies on BMP-2s in Mot-Schutzenregiment 9 (1st Company, 1st Battalion and 4th Company, 2nd Battalion).

⚔ Last side is of some East Germans in 1991 after being integrated into the Bundeswehr. You can see West German uniforms and helmets, but East German weapons.
