EXPLANATION:
the door opens and you jump the red light goes on .
SHAVING means...well...
you know...
when you shave you look at YOUR FACE in the mirror...
means "seeing your FACE in front of you..means:
do you look at yourself before jumping to go kill/wounf peoples or get killed/wounded by them?
Paratroopers know the expression as I do.
It also reffers to "fastening your helmet".
Belgian paratoopers are the best cause the country is small and you don't wanna miss the landing zone down there below.
Okay?

you're welcome

MARIANAS...

(...)More than 90% of the population lives on the island of Saipan. Of the fourteen other islands, only two - Tinian and Rota - have a significant population. The islands of Agrihan and Alamagan have fewer than ten residents each, and the remaining islands are unpopulated.

The Commonwealth's center of government is in the village of Capitol Hill on Saipan. As the island is governed as a single municipality, most publications name Saipan as the Commonwealth's capital.(...)

The northern islands are volcanic, with active volcanoes on Anatahan, Pagan and Agrihan. The volcano on Agrihan has the highest elevation at 3,166 feet (965 m).

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1110651

The Marianas are self-governing with locally elected governor, lieutenant governor, and legislature, but the United States government handles defense and foreign relations. Local residents are U.S. citizens by birth but do not pay federal taxes or vote in the presidential elections, instead they elect a non-voting representative to the U.S. government.

The economy benefits substantially from financial assistance from the US. The rate of funding has declined as locally generated government revenues have grown. The key tourist industry employs about 50% of the work force and accounts for roughly one-fourth of GDP. Japanese and Korean tourists predominate. Annual tourist entries have exceeded one-half million in recent years, but financial difficulties in Japan have caused a temporary slowdown. Currently, more Korean tourists go to the CNMI than Guam, while more Japanese tourists go to Guam than the CNMI. This change is reflected by a shift in airlines servicing the islands, with Korean Air and Asiana Airlines offering direct service to Saipan from Seoul, South Korea, while JAL and ANA offer direct service from Japan to Guam. Air service is now offered from most major Chinese cities as well (including Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou).

The agricultural sector is made up of cattle ranches and small farms producing coconuts, breadfruit, tomatoes, and melons. Garment production used to be the largest industry, but the last garment factory closed in early 2009.

The northern islands of the CNMI are mainly populated by Caroline Islanders (a Polynesian group with origins in Kiribati), while the southern islands are populated by Chamorros. In recent years, the CNMI has allowed many migrant workers.
[edit] Climate

Tropical marine; moderated by northeast trade winds, little seasonal temperature variation. Dry season December to June, rainy season July to October. The typhoon, or hurricane, season lasts several months and starts in late August to early September.
[edit] Terrain

Southern islands are limestone with level terraces and fringing coral reefs. Northern islands are volcanic.
[edit] Get in

The CNMI was federalized in November of 2009 and now adheres primarily to U.S. international travel codes and restrictions.

While U.S. citizens can enter simply with proof of citizenship (usually a passport). Visitors from all U.S. Visa Waiver Program countries will be granted a 30-day stay on entry. Citizens of other countries should check visa conditions as certain accommodations are currently being made during a transitional period. [2].

[edit] By plane

The main international gateway into the Marianas is Saipan. There are frequent flights from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, but visitors from the US will have to connect in Guam or transit through the previous countries listed.
[edit] By boat

There are no scheduled ferry services to the islands. Occasionally yachts, cruise ships, or military vessels stop in port for a brief visit.
[edit] Get out

All departing travellers must pass through US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) checkpoints; if you are continuing on to Guam, you need a US Passport, a valid US visa, or to be a citizen of a Visa Waiver Country as the US government controls Guam immigration.

Travellers returning to Japan from the Northern Marianas are not allowed to bring any US beef products (including beef jerky) due to current trade restrictions; any such products will be confiscated and destroyed by Japanese customs officials.

Countries that maintain a consular presence in the CNMI include Japan [3], the Philippines [4], and Palau [5].

It's called "Operation Bare Ballsack", its purpose is to remove the marginally disruptive people in the USA, like peace protesters, sovereign citizens, white equalists, high school science teachers, etc.

Re: 82nd 101st Airborne put on standby...
18 hr standby for possible domestic deployment doesn't sound like an actual order. I have no real knowledge of US military procedures, but units in other armed forces are generally just put on standby for movement, with an indication of what equipment they need to take. It's only when the movement starts that the bulk of the unit knows where they're going, and often they don't know until they get there, depending on the means of transport.
 Quoting: Swinburnian


Major Subordinate Commands get "warning orders" from The Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) <the JCS represents the President, supposedly> when they know that deployment is imminent.

The MSCs action these orders depending on local unit SOP.

Many times warning orders contain different types of mission modes or postures that can then we interpreted to glean intent.
