11 September: Bob

Hi BOB,
Thanks for the updates and I wish everyone a wonderful week. I do not have any exciting news like y’all.
This will be short and I apologize now, as I have a ton of homework and research.
If anyone knows where Walt Ledford, Lance King and Alan Parmeter are I would appreciate their email.
I have volunteered to help pro se Veterans with their appeals at the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veteran Claims. I saw the request in a VFW Magazine. I also am preparing a MOTION TO COMPEL in the same court vs. the VA, as I won a case there in July and the nice VA folks have ignored the Judges ORDER to expedite the actions.
A sad point is the person who helped me go to Law School (Kevin Ross, Montgomery AMVETS) passed away this last weekend. The Houston AMVETS folks were nice enough to call me today to let me know. Kevin was a retired Chief that was a kind and nice person. He saw past my blindness and later low vision (2 surgeries) to help me stay out of a VA home and fight for rehabilitation.
Hey I have found out how to be a political delegate, let me know if you are interested in serving at your state, and I will tell ya what I have been told.
As far as the nukes, the CG for one should have been off a little bit, and I wondered how the appearance of the weapons differed. We did not see the warhead, it was covered. I was involved on one project that looked at those things and replacing the material with a conventional war head. So for the aircrew, it should have been paperwork. But for the guys loading and moving they have a problem. If you hear who loses their jobs please let us know.
Jim I pray your Dad continues to improve. Oh your daughter’s school got a $11.5M remodeling contract awarded by Texas. She will be gone by then. For me the entire school is under renovation and parking is bad. So with that being my major concern,. Life is good. Thanks everyone for the updates, I really enjoy them.
V/R,
Bob

<p>Bob, as far as the CG, I know in tests we used a JTD (Joint Test Device), not exactly sure if they would use a JTD for a transfer, but I’m sure they would use ballast of some sort. And if I were transferring ACM’s, I’d have used the checklists for nuke preflight, even if an OGRE had checked the missiles before me and signed off the forms. But that’s just me.</p>

Thanks,
I have wondered if the real load was different than planned. Bob
