I noted the AK positions in this week's JOTW. I think there is an new opening in AK that you might have overlooked. More than likely communications skills are a must and helicopter sniping skills are desirable but not required.

*** Baza:
There’s a new “supermarket” in my old hometown that caters to Russians and Eastern Europeans. Baza has a wide selection of meats (Moscow salami, Talinan salami, Hungarian Salami, Estonian Salami…), smoked fish, breads and other familiar items to people who at one time had to wait in line for toilet paper. They have that, too. Neil Young’s “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World” was playing on the in-store music system when it was abruptly cut off and replaced by “Cossack Muzak” (my term, not their’s).
