This is hilarious. In my alerts, this just popped up and I had to share. Although if you listen to the words, I kind of doubt that the message had time to sink in with the G4S managers tasked with running the Olympics contract. lol -Matt
Check out the album here.
This is great, but as some of my readers have said, kind of creepy. lol
I am impressed, but I will be really impressed when quadrotors like these can play music with these instruments by ear and autonomously. Or that they create their own music…. Imagine a swarm of these, all throttling their motors differently to create notes and pitches for some battle song? Then they could play something appropriate before an attack. lol
Pretty cool and the future is now. -Matt
How cool is this? I had no idea that Sinatra did a song about the Legion. Enjoy. -Matt
This has to be the funniest thing I have read in a week. The Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid promised IRIN that this will ‘not happen again’. Now that is funny. The Taliban are liars, and of course they will use ambulances for assaults or for transporting drugs and weapons again. They also burned ten Qurans and have yet to be punished for that. Either way, I think this song below spells out exactly what kind of folks the Taliban and Al Qaeda are……Enjoy. -Matt
AFGHANISTAN: Taliban rue ambulance attack
12 April 2011 (IRIN) – The use of an ambulance by Taliban suicide attackers in a raid on a police training centre in the southern province of Kandahar on 7 April has been acknowledged as a violation of war laws and the insurgents have promised investigations.
“This will not happen again,” Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, told IRIN.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) strongly condemned the use of a clearly-marked ambulance by the attackers.
“Using an ambulance for the purpose of deceiving the adversary in carrying out an attack constitutes perfidy. This is strictly prohibited by international humanitarian law and is totally unacceptable,” said Jacques de Maio, the ICRC’s head of operations for South Asia, in a 7 April press statement.
Several people, almost all of them security forces, were killed and wounded in the attack, according to provincial officials. Read the rest of this entry »
Boy, it sucks to hear about other contractors losing their jobs. Hopefully these folks will be able to get work elsewhere in the defense industry. Maybe Bobby will have his music as a possible back up plan? -Matt

JFCOM contractor sings the blues over closure

Went to work, got a bit of bad news
Went to work, got a bit of bad news
Ol’ Bobby G said here’s your fate, gonna shut you down, gonna lock the gate
Now we all have the Jiffy Com Blues.
- “Jiffy Com Blues,” by Bobby “BlackHat” Walters
It’s not even a done deal, but the impending closure of the Joint Forces Command already has made its way into Hampton Roads’ pop culture.
Bobby “BlackHat” Walters, a civilian contractor at JFCOM who moonlights as a blues musician, has channeled his angst into a song.
Less than three weeks after the planned closure was announced by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, “Jiffy Com Blues” has been written and recorded and is getting local radio airplay.
“It was a song that needed to be written. It wrote itself,” Walters, a Coast Guard retiree, said Friday. “Sometimes the blues can help you through a bad situation.”
“Jiffy Com” is a longstanding nickname for the command among workers – one that is frowned upon by the brass, Walters acknowledged. But he said he didn’t use it with mean-spirited intent.
“I thought that if I could write the song in such a way that it would bring a smile to people’s faces, it could put a lighter edge on a very sensitive subject,” he said.
