Modern Day Marine is going on and I'm not there...

First.  To my contributors.  I'll be in touch with you by the end of the day to refund your money.

Second.  About the blog.  This is a hobby and a passion.  I would HAVE LOVED to attended MDM, but a hobby and a passion do not trump real life considerations and expenses.  We're not there yet and might not ever "arrive".  It is what it is.  Are there things that I could do to make this a self sustaining entity?  You bet.  Would it compromise my ability to say what's on my mind?  Absolutely!  I refuse to make those compromises so SNAFU! might not ever get to be as large as I would like.  I can live with that.

Lastly, I'll be scouring the net looking for coverage of the event.  BAE is having a press availability on the SUPER AV, Lockheed Martin is taking the wraps off their vehicle and I'm sure SAIC will have the Terrex 2 Advanced somewhere...even if its just in model form.  General Dynamics?  I have no idea.  They're as murky as the ocean bottom on their entrant.

That is all.
