Throwback Saturday?

Who still remember when the hospital ship USNS Mercy was deployed in NYC to give relief for “covid patients”. Supposedly that is a “covid patient”. Photos released April 4th 2020

Did “covid patients” needed blood transfusions? 🤯

in my head, hangman is a navy family kinda guy.

he wants to be the best, needs to be, and he doesn’t care about making niceties whilst doing it. in my head his dad is ex-navy and he’s fucking tough, definitely enough of an asshole to be the reason jake’s so fucked up. he needs to prove he’s good enough, the best there is, and he needs the attention because he’s so starved of it. i think he has brothers in the USN too, but i think he’s the only pilot, and i think he’s the youngest (maybe a sister, second youngest. i like the idea of him having someone to talk to). i also think that means they treat him differently, a little worse, because they don’t think he’s good enough either.

i am merciful though, he’s definitely a sweet mama’s boy.

Description: **The riveting memoir of a Vietnam War helicopter pilot. “When you step into a Huey with Tom Johnson, you’re in for the real thing. No one has previously captured the Vietnam helicopter experience with such gripping authority.”—Robert F. Dorr, author of Chopper   **   From June 1967 to June 1968, Tom Johnson accumulated an astonishing 1,600 flying hours piloting the UH-1 “Iroquois”—better known as the “Huey”—as part of the famous First Air Cavalry Division. His battalion was one of the most decorated units of the Vietnam War, and helped redefine modern warfare. Johnson’s riveting memoir takes us into key battles and rescue missions, including those for Hue and Khe Sanh. In harrowing detail, he tells of being shot down in the battle of A Shau Valley, of surviving enemy attacks during the Tet Offensive, and of a death-defying nighttime river rescue, in which only the bare feet of soldiers hanging off the Huey’s skids kept the helicopter from plunging under water. From dangerous missions to narrow escapes, Johnson’s memoir vividly captures the adrenaline rush and the horror of war, and takes you on a ride you’ll never forget.

We Should Demand More from Those Who Cover the Solomon Islands

Over the last few months, a great deal of ink has been spilt over the strengthening of relations between the Solomon Islands and the People’s Republic of China. Unfortunately, very few of the commentators and reporters have ever been on the ground in those countries to collect the facts needed to fully understand this development. Admittedly, this is in part because neither of their governments appear interested in providing a conducive environment to do so. Similarly, very few possess the regional subject matter expertise to be able to provide the historical, political, and social context required to make sense of those facts that have been gathered. Perhaps that is why some authors add the following disclaimer to their correspondence, “I am not a regional expert.” Then there is the issue of diversity of opinion. Much more is needed in order to test conclusions against alternatives. It is the responsibility of their editors to demand it.

Earlier today, I took it upon myself to collect some facts on the relations between the Solomon Islands and the United States. Specifically, I wanted to gather some more facts about the failure of the Government of the Solomon Islands to provide diplomatic clearance to a United States Coast Guard (USCG) vessel. This incident was widely covered and debated by reporters and pundits in recent days. Unfortunately, their discourse was riddled with sparse details, driven by unstated assumptions, and framed in superficial ways. Rather than stepping into that arena, I reached out to my contacts. I wanted to try to collect some additional facts on the ground. And, this is what I learned from a State Department spokesperson:

On August 23, the Government of the Solomon Islands Government did not provide diplomatic clearance to a USCG vessel that had been seeking to refuel and provision. After the Solomon Islands Government failed to provide the necessary clearance, the USCG Cutter Oliver Henry diverted to Papua New Guinea. It arrived in Port Moresby on the same day. The vessel was in the region to support the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA). Specifically, it was participating in Operation Island Chief. This operation seeks to enable regional partners to protect their national interests, combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, strengthen maritime governance, and model professional maritime behavior to partners and competitors. Operation Island Chief is one of four annual operations that are conducted by the FFA. It occurs in the waters surrounding the FFA member states. These member states include Australia, Cook Islands, Fiji, Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Nauru, New Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. The United States Government was disappointed that the USCG Cutter Oliver Henry was not able to make this planned stop in Honiara.

On August 29, the U.S. Navy Ship (USNS) Mercy arrived in Honiara to begin a two-week humanitarian mission that is part of the Pacific Partnership. The Pacific Partnership claims to be the largest annual multinational humanitarian assistance and disaster relief preparedness mission conducted in the Indo-Pacific Region. This year, the Pacific Partnership team is composed of representatives from Australia, Japan, and the United States. These partners coordinate their local events with the host nation. Their events therefore are planned around the requirements and requests set forth by the Solomon Islands. In Honiara, their engagements are intended to include community health outreach and professional medical exchanges, engineering projects, discussions on humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, and community outreach events (e.g. band concerts). The United States Government was pleased that the USNS Mercy was given permission to enter the Solomon Islands. And, the United States remains committed tolong-term engagement in the Pacific. This includes listening to the people of Solomon Islands and responding to their needs.

On August 29, the United States received formal notification from the Government of the Solomon Islands regarding a moratorium on all naval visits, pending updates in protocol procedures. The USNS Mercy had received diplomatic clearance prior to the moratorium being implemented. The United States government will closely monitor the situation.

As already noted, this puzzling set of facts demands further scrutiny by academics, journalists, and think tank fellows. While they may help to fill in some gaps, these facts raise new questions that need to be answered. For example, why does the Government of the Solomon Islands want updates to be made to the protocol procedures? In the coming days, it is my hope that reporters and commentators not only will go out and collect the facts to answer these questions. They will then provide the historical, political, and social context that is required to make sense of them. And, they will showcase a wider range of opinions in their works so that their readers and viewers can test their conclusions against alternatives.

Either way, I hope that the Biden Administration and United States Congress will take a moment to reflect on the recent news coverage of the Solomon Islands. Just as I hope that the national policymakers in the Solomon Islands will do the same.  Both have a duty to ensure that their media and citizenry are able to hold accountable those who are responsible for their international relations and their policies. Otherwise, they risk compromising a vital component of democracy in the Pacific.

In addition to the humanitarian assistance/disaster response symposium, Pacific Partnership 2016 will host a chronic disease symposium, a basic first responder course, an advanced life support skills workshop and a nursing skills workshop.Įngineering projects include the renovation of Manleuana Primary School and Aimutin School, which also serve as a civilian shelter during a disaster. Karen Ward, Royal New Zealand Navy, Pacific Partnership 2016 Women Peace and Security lead. "We will also advise on gender-related matters during the humanitarian assistance/disaster response symposium, and encourage the participation of women in all aspects of the disaster management cycle," said Cmdr. Women representative in Timor Leste to discuss the countries national action plan for UNSCR 1325. Personnel will present considerations for women and children in disasters during a disaster response symposium, and meet with the U.N. This year's mission will also focus on the involvement of women in disaster response efforts, applying the principles of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 - which addresses the role women play in conflict management and resolution, in a disaster relief context. "Getting to work alongside the caregivers in Timor Leste, and understanding how they work and being able to show them how we do things is such a great opportunity for growth, for them and for us." Danielle Delacruz, a pediatric nurse aboard Mercy who will participate in SMEEs in Timor Leste. "This is why I joined the Navy - to travel, to see the world, to experience new cultures," said Lt. The medical engagements conducted alongside local Timor Leste medical professionals in Dili, Gleno Community and Camp Lenhoff, will include SMEEs and CHEs for surgery, dentistry, antenatal and postnatal care, women's health, blood bank administration, biomedical repair, children's health, nutrition, industrial hygiene, infection control and veterinary services. "I am very excited to see our team working with partner nation personnel to build relationships and gain knowledge in the medical field, along with the completion of the school projects, which will have a big impact on the children in Timor Leste," said Beeler. While in Timor Leste, Pacific Partnership personnel will work side-by-side with civilian leadership from the Dili community and Timor Leste Defense Forces in a disaster relief symposium, civil engineering projects, cooperative health engagements (CHE), subject matter expert exchanges (SMEEs) and community relations projects.Ĭhief Information Systems Technician Sean Beeler, assistant officer-in-charge for Timor Leste, is looking forward to the first mission stop. DILI, Timor Leste (NNS) - Pacific Partnership 2016 arrived in Timor Leste June 8 for the sixth time in the past eleven years and the first mission stop for Hospital Ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19).

A medical boat is a boat designed for the purpose of providing medical care. These boats are typically outfitted with medical equipment and supplies, and are staffed by medical personnel. Medical boats are used in a variety of settings, including disaster relief, remote areas, and even in some cases as floating hospitals.

Medical boats have been used in a variety of settings over the years. One of the most famous examples is the USNS Mercy, a medical boat that was used during the Vietnam War. The Mercy was outfitted with a wide range of medical equipment and supplies, and was staffed by a team of medical personnel. The Mercy was able to provide medical care to thousands of people during the war, and is credited with saving many lives.

More recently, medical boats have been used in a variety of disaster relief efforts. After the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, a number of medical boats were dispatched to the country to provide medical care to those affected by the disaster. Medical boats have also been used in the aftermath of other natural disasters, such as hurricanes and tsunamis.

In some cases, medical boats are even used as floating hospitals. These boats are outfitted with everything that a traditional hospital would have, including operating rooms, X-ray machines, and even laboratory facilities. Floating hospitals are typically used in remote areas, or in cases where land-based hospitals are not readily accessible.

Medical boats play an important role in providing medical care in a variety of settings. These boats are often able to provide care to people who might not otherwise have access to medical care, and can be a vital resource in the aftermath of a disaster.
