*** From Jim Brumm:

Ned … This is a job posting with comments .. comments I thought members of the group still on active duty, or recently so, could respond to. Jim Brumm

This was posted on JournalismJobs.com Sunday:
Landmark Military Newspapers of North Carolina, Inc. proud to be selected the new publishers of The Paraglide, the authorized military newspaper for Fort Bragg, seeks qualified applicants. We are a unit of The Landmark Military Media group of The Virginian-Pilot Media Companies. We are establishing a local office in Fayetteville, NC and are accepting applications and resumes for the following positions.

9.) Managing Editor, The Paraglide, Landmark Military Newspapers of North Carolina, Fayetteville, NC

10.) Photojournalist, The Paraglide, Landmark Military Newspapers of North Carolina, Fayetteville, NC

11.) News Design/Layout Editor, The Paraglide, Landmark Military Newspapers of North Carolina, Fayetteville, NC

(The full announcement can be seen at http://www.journalismjobs.com/Job_Listing.cfm?JobID=941020.)

According to the latest Paraglide, the paper was published by the PAO office with an off-base printer through this past week. The latest issue has nothing about the pending change; but four of the nine editorial positions were vacant, so somebody must have known something.

Some questions that come to mind: Is this type of abrupt switch normal these days? Do the other five have any chance of keeping their jobs?

There's no sign of retention from the positions Landmark is trying to fill; but putting out next week's paper cold without the old staff seems rather daunting.

By the end of this week some 16 journalists will be available up the road in Raleigh. The SPJ website reported Thursday folks at The News & Observer were told about the cuts last Monday, along with news that the Raleigh newspaper will consolidate coverage with The Charlotte Observer. The cuts are in addition to buyouts earlier this year.

*** If you have a little known naval or military fact, send it to lundquist989@cs.com for inclusion in an upcoming issue of DEFCON 1. Rick Strutner provides this bit of dubious naval history:

It was necessary to keep a good supply of cannon balls near the cannon on old war ships. But how to prevent them from rolling about the deck was the problem. The best storage method devised was to stack them as a square based pyramid with one ball on top resting on four resting on nine which rested on sixteen. Thus a supply of 30 cannon balls could be stacked in a small area right next to the cannon.

There was only one problem — how to prevent the bottom layer from sliding/rolling from under the others. The solution was a metal plate with 16 round indentations called a Monkey. But if this plate were made of iron the iron balls would quickly rust to it. The solution to the rusting problem was to make Brass Monkeys.

Few landlubbers realize that brass contracts much more and much faster than iron when chilled. Consequently when the temperature dropped too far the brass indentations would shrink so much that the iron cannon balls would come right off the monkey. Thus it was quite literally cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey. And all this time you thought that was a vulgar expression didn't you? You must send this fabulous bit of historical knowledge to at least a few and unsuspecting friends.
