Rest in Peace Mrs Plumley
Sunday, June 3rd, 2012Soldier Systems regrets to report that Mrs. Deurice Plumley, Household-6 for CSM Basil Plumley US Army (Ret), passed away recently after a long illness. CSM Plumley had been at her side every day for the last several months. They were married for almost 63 years. CSM Plumley was played by actor Sam Elliott in the movie We Were Soldiers. His wife reportedly described his portrayal as ‘very accurate’. By all accounts Mrs. Plumley went above and well beyond the character one might desire in an infantry SNCO’s wife and was, quite simply, a lovely and classy lady.
“Miss Deurice was every bit as much a soldier as CSM Plumley.” Joe Galloway
Our condolences to the family and friends of the Plumleys. God keep you, ma’am.
There is a guestbook on line to express condolences.

Back to Gilwell
Saturday, June 2nd, 2012I’m out again this weekend for my second weekend of Wood Badge fun. Over the weekend you’ll see a few blasts from the past as well as a few new items. Since this is a full three days, I’ll catch up with everyone on Tuesday.
Wood Badge is an international adult leadership program for the Scouting movement developed initially by Scouting’s founder Sir Robert Baden-Powell. Lord Baden-Powell was a Lieutenant-General in the British Army who served in the Second Boer War. Based on his experience as a Cavalry officer he wrote several books for military training. After finding out that boys had been reading his works, he penned, “Scouting for Boys.” This led to the first Scout camp in England at Brownsea Island and later to a leadership development program at Gilwell Park for adults.
In order to recognize the graduates of this training program, BP turned to one of his war trophies. He had captured a necklace belonging to Chief Dinizulu while pursuing him in Zululand. The necklace was 12-foot-long with more than a thousand acacia beads which were used to denote a warrior. BP awarded beads from this necklace to the graduates of the adult leader training. In modern times Wood Badge graduates are awarded a leather thing with wooden beads.

Live From SOFIC
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2012No window licking or pigs looking at wrist watches here. No photos of stuff we don’t understand. No checkout stand tabloids. No walking up to a vendor and saying, “hey man, what’s that there thing?”. No spilling of national secrets either. Just solid info from over a decade-and-a-half of active duty experience in the community.
We’re live from SOFIC with accurate, meaningful coverage of the tactical industry. Enjoy!
