Want to meet The Corps Real Life “John Wick”?   As we approach our Celebration of Our Corps 245th Birthday, I find myself drawn to some of the forgotten Legends of Our Corps…   One of my favorites is “Crazy Eyes” (as I call him) Sergeant Major John H Quick USMC.   He was a holder of The Medal of Honor, Navy Cross and The Distinguished Service Cross (Army)!   He was a native of West Virginia and served in EVERY major land engagement that the Marine Corps was involved in DURING HIS ENTIRE CAREER (1892-1920, 28 years)…   His poor body was so worn out by his service that he died in his early 50’s and for the most part The Corps has forgotten this absolutely amazing Marine!   Had he lived long enough to have been awarded The Combat Action Ribbon he would not have been able to put enough stars on it to account all of his Combat Tours…   Hollywood can’t even match this!

US govt hiding top hurricane forecast model sparks outrage

Taxpayer-funded data locked behind insurance firm's paywall

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) cannot reveal weather forecasts from a particularly accurate hurricane prediction model to the public that pays for the American government agency – because of a deal with a private insurance risk firm.

The model at issue is called the Hurricane Forecast Improvement Program (HFIP) Corrected Consensus Approach (HCCA). In 2023, it was deemed in a National Hurricane Center (NHC) report [PDF] to be one of the two "best performers," the other being a model called IVCN (Intensity Variable Consensus).

A 2020 contract between NOAA and RenaissanceRe Risk Sciences, disclosed in response to a Freedom of Information Act request by The Washington Post, requires NOAA to keep HCCA forecasts – which incorporate a proprietary technique from RenaissanceRe – secret for five years.

The deal is scheduled to expire next year, and NOAA reportedly expects to release HCCA model data in time for the 2025 hurricane season.

Well, isn’t that nice….
