”FOB Armadillo”-skiltet sikres for eftertiden!

Vibeke Eir fra Bevaringscenter Øst er i færd med
at sikre ”FOB-Armadillo-skiltet” til transport.
Afghanistan. Den Kongelige Livgardes offentligt tilgængelige museum, Livgardens Historiske Samling, skriver på deres Facebook følgende:
Takket være en donation fra tømrermester Hans-Jørgen Langhoff og hustru Grethe er det muligt at sørge for, at ”FOB Armadillo”-skiltet bevares for eftertiden.

RAF 2 Day March 2014: Hein, der peger på OMI-mærket

Vi skal til det igen ... Endnu et billede af Hein, der peger på OMI-mærket!

"What to say?!" picture: RAF 2 Day March 2014

OMG. With permission from photographer Marcus N Nørgaard (and possibly from the depicted walkers ...), we bring you a scene from outside The Hartley Arms, Staffordshire, on Saturday 26 April.

Conceivably, this photo sums up Danish military road marching culture. I'm not sure what I mean with that, but it feels right. Anyhoo, 'twas a fine trip to the Midlands this year. We've experienced pretty rough weather in the past, so the hot and humid, non-windy climate of 26-27 April 2014 was a relative relief.

More pictures to follow. Or not. I don't get paid to manage this blog, you know, my exacting readers. Hæhæ.

Report: The Bataan Memorial Death March 2014

The Monument of the "Battling Bastards of Bataan" at the Veteran memorial
park in Las Cruces. In the concrete that surrounded the monument some
of the original survivors of the Death march had made their footsteps.
Very touching.
Guest writers. March Team Beagle Boys had the great pleasure of being visited by two Swedish walkers at our yearly event in March, Burning Love Classic. Yours truly blog editor was cocky enough to ask for an article when I found that one of these Swedes, Andreas Holmberg, was going to travel all the way to the USA to do a famous march. Now the result has hit my mail box, so I am pleased to present you with this informative piece about a pretty hardcore event. With thanks, Thorbjørn Hein, MTBB.

Havhingsten søsættes / launching The Sea Stallion

Noget af dagen gik med tjæring af tovværk.
Bukserne lugter stadig af det - herligt!
VIKING! Som nogle læsere vil have bemærket, muntrer blogredaktøren sig nu og da i Havhingstens bådelaug. Tjek denne lettere rystede video fra forleden, da vi efter den sidste klargøring af selve skroget søsatte hingsten. Jeg ses cirka midtskibs iklædt nogle meget blå Helly Hansen-bukser og hvide handsker :-)

Nederst en teaser for kommende reportage: holdbillede fra BLC 2014.

As some readers will have noticed, yours truly blog editor occasionally enjoys himself viking style in the Sea Stallion Boat Guild. Check the launching of the 96' beauty a few days ago.
