Fallon Takes Reins of Central CommandMACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla.
For the first time since the United States created a combatant command with responsibility for the Middle East, Northern Africa and Southwest and Central Asia, a naval officer took over the helm of U.S. Central Command here today. Navy Adm. William J. Fallon, a naval aviator with almost 40 years of service, assumed duties as commander of CENTCOM from Army Gen. John P. Abizaid, who is retiring after leading CENTCOM for more than three years.
Although, for the most part, Marine Corps in theme, Gary Sullivan thinks that his cartoons can be enjoyed by one and all. Just a smidgen of humor is all that is needed...or if that doesn't work, try a pitcher or two of ice-cold beer with some barbecued spare ribs. Ever used a Holystone? A small abrasive stone of pumice or rough slate that was used to smooth and polish the wooden decks of a sailing ship. For ease of handling and stowage, it was almost exactly the same size as the average Bible, or "holy" book. Another origin of the term is that fragments of broken monuments from the abbey of Saint Nicholas (located in Great Yarmouth, England), were used at one time to scrub the decks of the British Navy.
