Lot of stuff's happened in the last two days. Navy ordered all civilians to evacuate the base, and about mid-afternoon the base got shelled. A couple of the city suburbs got caught up in the shelling and so the navy's been split between  repairs on base and rescue efforts in the affected city areas. I've been running a dozer most of today compacting dirt along the damaged potion of the runway. for some reason no one in the motor pool actually knew how to operate it. I spent a couple hours in the morning teaching a couple of the mechanics how to drive one.

Everything feels shook loose from driving the tractor. Don't want to diss on my dad's farm but it was a lot nicer than our D-6. A newer D-9.

All the jets were in the armored storage, and it'd take more than an artillery barrage to get through the plating.

Whoever was working on it got the radar systems working again mid-morning. According to the one of the announcements over the loludspeakers it's a clusterfuck of air traffic to the north of us at Fresno, no IFF's so it's presumed to be chinese.

They're also picking up a lot of traffic near Castle Air base and Mariposa extreme range artillery, though the transponder codes show them to be various U.S. aircraft some miltary and come civillian, the ones at mariposa are civilian helicopters, Korea Era Hueys  converted into spray rigs probably, and then probably commandeered or something.

Other than that not much to talk about.
