Tailhook Association The Tailhook Association is a U . S . - based , fraternal , non - profit organization , supporting the interests of sea - based aviation , with emphasis on aircraft carriers . The word tailhook refers to the hook underneath the tail of the aircraft that catches the arresting wire suspended across the flight deck in order to stop the landing plane quickly . The association was formed by active - duty naval aviators in 1956 , eventually growing into a national organization headquartered in San Diego , California . During the Vietnam War , the annual Tailhook reunion and symposium also served to provide opportunities for aircrews from the Pacific and Atlantic Fleets to exchange information about events in Southeast Asia . Among the Tailhook programs are publication of the quarterly journal " The Hook " , addressing historical and current events coverage ; college scholarships via the Tailhook Educational Foundation ; and local / regional " ready rooms " for those active and retired members who support fleet activities . The Tailhook scandal . In September 1991 , the 35th annual symposium in Las Vegas featured a two - day debrief on Navy and Marine Corps aviation in Operation Desert Storm . It was the largest such meeting yet held , with some 4 , 000 attendees : active , reserve , and retired personnel . According to a Department of Defense ( DoD ) report , 83 women and 7 men stated that they had been victims of sexual assault and harassment during the meeting . Several participants later stated that a number of flag officers attending the meetings were aware of the sexual assaults , but did nothing to stop them . The issues were never quite settled , and as late as 2002 , the Tailhook chairman spoke of " the alleged misconduct that occurred in 1991 " . Frontline on PBS reported : Ultimately the careers of fourteen admirals and almost 300 naval aviators were scuttled or damaged by Tailhook . For example Secretary of the Navy H . Lawrence Garrett III and CNO Admiral Frank Kelso were both at Tailhook ' 91 . Garrett ultimately resigned and Kelso retired early two years after the convention . Author Jean Zimmerman developed the thesis that the scandal underscored the shifting status of women in the military and particularly the role of women in combat . As such , Tailhook can be seen as part of the evolution of the armed forces that continued through the losses of female soldiers in Iraq . Commemorative Certificates . Some visitors to US Navy aircraft carriers who joined or left the ship on a Carrier On - board Delivery aircraft are issued " Tailhook certificates " by the Navy which commend them for " NAFOD and intestinal fortitude .

Bauska Castle Bauska Castle ( ; ) is a complex consisting of the ruins of an earlier castle and a later palace on the outskirts of the Latvian city of Bauska . History . The impressive castle , the remains of which were recently restored , stands on the narrow peninsula at the confluence of the rivers Mūsa and Mēmele where they form the Lielupe river . In ancient times , the hill was the site of an ancient Semigallian fortress . The first stone buildings were established between 1443 and 1456 by the Livonian branch of the Teutonic Knights and construction continued till the end of the 16th century . The old section of the castle featured a great watch tower , 3 . 5 meter thick walls , a prison under the tower , a garrison , and a drawbridge at the gates .

He identified and researched the Paleoparadoxia found during the excavation of Stanford Linear Accelerator at Stanford University in California , which was eventually reclassified as a distinct species , which was named in his honor .

He was a veteran of World War II , serving as an enlisted soldier in the 104th Infantry Division and spent time in a German prisoner - of - war camp .

Repenning was known as a story teller and always began his childhood stories with ' When I was a little girl . . . ' . He once found a guy sitting on the top of a hill in the desert who turned out to be a Civil War soldier who had desiccated rather than decayed . He was also a source of entertainment to his neighbors on more than one occasion . He would occasionally bury zebra , elephant , and tiger carcasses in the back yard in order to study their bones . His children referred to the back half of their yard as " The Bone Yard . " Once he handed out elephant toenails to the neighborhood children as a curiosity .

The Repennings had unconventional pets at times as well . Repenning kept a raven that could talk , a skunk , a raccoon , a chimpanzee ( only on summers ) , and for a short time a bobcat .

START III START III ( Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty ) was a proposed bi - lateral nuclear disarmament treaty between the United States and Russia . It meant to drastically reduce the deployed nuclear weapons arsenals of both countries and to continue the weapons reduction efforts that had taken place in the START I and START II negotiations . The framework for negotiations of the treaty began with talks in Helsinki between President Bill Clinton and President Boris Yeltsin in 1997 . However , negotiations broke down and the treaty was never signed . Proposed basic elements of the treaty included : The talks faced a number of obstacles . Russia opposed the eastward expansion of NATO and American plans to build a limited missile defense system ( which would have required changes to or the US withdrawal from the 1972 Anti - Ballistic Missile Treaty ) . Russia strongly hinted that any progress on START III would be subject to the satisfaction of its concerns on these issues . In addition , a Russian proposal to reduce stockpiles still further to 1 , 000 - 1 , 500 warheads was opposed by the US Joint Chiefs of Staff . Very little progress was made towards completing negotiations on START III . President Clinton revived the issue in 1999 and it played a role in the 2000 presidential elections , but persistent disagreement , especially on the issue of missile defense , resulted in stalemate . The 2002 decision by the Bush Administration to withdraw from the Anti - Ballistic Missile Treaty all but killed START III . It was superseded by the much weaker SORT treaty . In popular culture . START III plays a large role in the 1998 video game , " Metal Gear Solid " . In the game a nuclear terrorist attack is scheduled on the date of the signing of START III which is supposed to take place at the end of February 2005 .
