In 1947, after receiving permission from his mother (since he was not yet 18 years old), Steve McQueen enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He was sent to Parris Island for boot camp. He was promoted to private first class and assigned to an armored unit. He initially struggled with conforming to the discipline of the service, and was demoted to private seven times. He took an unauthorized absence, going UA by failing to return after a weekend pass expired. He was caught by the shore patrol while staying with a girlfriend (Barbara Ross) for two weeks. After resisting arrest, he was sentenced to 41 days in the brig. After this, McQueen resolved to focus his energies on self-improvement and embraced the Marines' discipline. He saved the lives of five other Marines during an Arctic exercise, pulling them from a tank before it broke through ice into the sea. He was assigned to the honor guard responsible for guarding the presidential yacht of US President Harry Truman. McQueen served until 1950, when he was honorably discharged.

On the night of 8 September 1923, fourteen destroyers of Destroyer Squadron 11 were sailing from San Francisco to San Diego at about 20 knots in heavy fog. The lead ship, USS Delphy, made a wrong turn east, believing the squadron had reached the Santa Barbara Channel. In reality, they were several miles off-course. Within minutes, the lead ship struck the rocks at Honda Point (Point Pedernales), and six others followed her into the cliffs and reefs. In total, seven destroyers were lost and 23 sailors killed. The primary cause was faulty navigation based on dead reckoning, compounded by the refusal to trust radio bearings. Ocean currents, altered by the 1923 Great Kantō earthquake in Japan, had shifted their actual position westward. Poor visibility, the high speed of the formation, and the dangerous coastline—known as the “Devil’s Jaw”—made escape impossible once the turn was made. A naval court of inquiry found squadron commander Commodore Edward H. Watson and navigator Lt Cmdr Donald T. Hunter guilty of negligence. The wrecks of ships such as USS Delphy, Young, Woodbury, and Chauncey still lie off the California coast near Point Pedernales, a somber memorial to the perils of overconfidence in navigation. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1761691604.jpg |

His 19th-century experiments proved the existence of electromagnetic waves, but he saw no practical use for them. Now, those same waves power everything from smartphones and Wi-Fi to GPS and satellite communications. In 1886, Hertz was focused purely on validating James Clerk Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetism. He built devices to generate and detect radio waves, showing they could reflect, refract, and travel through space. When asked about the utility of his discovery, he famously replied, “Nothing, I guess.” His work was groundbreaking, but he didn’t foresee its technological revolution. Ironically, Hertz’s name now lives on in every frequency we measure, megahertz, gigahertz, and beyond. His experiments laid the foundation for radio, television, radar, and mobile networks. Though he died young at 36, his legacy pulses through every wireless signal we use today. The man who saw “no use” would be surrounded by a world built on his invisible waves. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1761705811.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1761705811.jpg |
