Didn't enlist, however I am working for the navy. Officially I'm an independent contractor, thaough they still ran me through basic along with the other actual recruits.

Over the last few days I've ran around the valley checking the stocks at the national guard armories in advance to determine which ones were available for use.

Fresno is unreachable
Hanford is stocked
Lemoore is already being cleared out for gear
Fresno Country Island (out in the middle of nowhere between towns disguised as a farm labor camp) is partially stocked. the logbooks I found show that half the ammunition and rifles had been moved north to Mariposa Artillery.

And that is the sum of everything that happened this week.

Of all the things that could have happpened.. politics.

So, the Russians have declared ware on the Chinese, the Chinese  have effectively invaded the U.S, there was an announcement on all frequencies made by the new president, Glauchester is it it seems, that citizens are to resist against any invaders and Aid is to be met with scpeticism, and the Russians that flew in are offering assistance against the Chinese.

The recon jets that flew over Fresno reported that it looked like the Chinese forces at the air base had pushed into the city proper, but were meeting with resistance and in armed conflict, though at the altitude they were flying it was impossible to tell who the chinese were fighting.

The population of Leemoore  is currently in the middle of a vote to determine whether to accept assistance from the Russians or not, and the navy is accepting all citizens willing to enlist and running them through training as quickly as possible. More or less basic but sped up.

Not sure what I'm going to do. I know the motor pool would welcome me on their team, but I wouldn't have the freedom to run around like I've been doing.

Decisions..

Couple more planes landed today, the Soviets are definitely here, though there hasn't been any word as to why they're here yet.

Most of this week has been.

"Base gets shelled" All clear is announced, and repairs get done.

Some plane landed at the air base. Scuttlebut is that it's an envoy from the Russians.

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.

Well now that the comm's blackout is over I can post about yesterday and today.

Long story short is the Chinese have landed, and are in control of Fresno International, and the adjoining air base.

When the recon team got back with the radar components they let us know that the entire air attack bas was crawling with Chinese, though they'd left the civilian airfield alone for the most part, aside from using it to land heavy freight planes.

It's probably safe to assume this is happening all along the West coast.

Back in Lemoore. Made a trip yesterday to my apartment, nothing else was in the cache that I haven't already mentioned.

A tenth of an acre really isn't too big anyway, it's only a 66 foot diameter circle. I can probably guess that the maps lead to other caches around the state.

More planes in the air.

The navy troops have asked me to write down everything I've seen where I've been, things like that. I'm not sure why they're asking me when they have working vehicles too, but it gives me something to do when not working on cars.
