He was the son of Diego Ximénez of La Rioja , the lord of Cameros , and Guiomar Rodríguez . He attained the highest noble rank ( count ) , like his maternal grandparents , Rodrigo Pérez de Traba ( " el Velloso " ) and Fronilde Fernández . Rodrigo led a column of men at the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212 . He commanded in the centre , among the forces of Alfonso VIII of Castile , either immediately aft of or flanking the main vanguard under Diego López II de Haro . His troops were mainly from the Asturias , Biscay , and Old Castile . He was third in the hierarchy of command after Diego and Gonzalo Núñez de Lara . Alongside Rodrigo leading his battalion were his brother Alvar Díaz and Juan González . In 1217 , on the death of Henry I of Castile , Rodrigo and a band of eight nobles challenged the right of Berenguela , Henry ' s elder sister , to succeed , on the basis that she was not his eldest sister ( that was Blanche , then queen - consort of France ) . In 1220 – 21 , Rodrigo and his noble allies were in rebellion against Berenguela ' s successor , Ferdinand III ; they even offered the throne to Blanche ' s son , the future Louis VIII of France . Rodrigo had mortgaged some properties to the king in exchange for money to finance a Crusade to the Holy Land . He had refused , however , to answer a summons to the " curia regis " , and had retained his " tenencia s " illegally . Gonzalo Pérez de Lara led a simultaneous rebellion . Before this time the lords of Cameros had appeared as allies of the kings against the House of Lara . In the course of his rebellion Rodrigo lost most of his castle s and " tenencias " . In December 1221 , though they were subjects of the Castilian crown , Rodrigo and Alvar did homage to Sancho VII of Navarre for the castle of Los Fayos on the Moncayo . Rodrigo ' s poetic activity is known only from the " Tavola Colocciana " , which lists three songs of his , none surviving . He is the only Galician - Portuguese poet known to have attended the court of Alfonso VIII . Rodrigo also spent time at the court of Diego López de Haro , who patronised many Occitan troubadour s as well as the Castilian minstrel Gonzalo Ruiz de Azagra , all of whom probably influenced Rodrigo , especially Elias Cairel and Guillem Magret . Rodrigo eventually married Diego ' s daughter Aldonza . He was the father of at least one son , Simón Royz , active in the reign of Alfonso X from at least 1246 to 1277 .

Blood wings Blood wings is a traditional initiation rite that is endured by many graduates of the United States Army Airborne School and the United States Army Air Assault School and sometimes practiced in other elite military training environments , including the Army Aviation and Aviation Logistics community . It is called blood pinning in the United States Marine Corps . Although it is rare , some Air Force Academy cadets receive their upper - class Prop and Wings insignia via the blood wings tradition . Upon receiving the Parachutist Badge , an instructor or comrade of the graduate places the pins of the badge pointing into the chest of the graduate . The badge is then slammed against the graduate ' s chest , resulting in the pins being driven into the flesh . If the graduation is affiliated with a particular unit number ( unit 15 , for example ) , then the pin will often be pounded deeper into the muscle the same number of times ( 15 times in this case ) . The origins of this tradition are unknown , but most likely date back to World War II paratrooper training . This practice is fairly secretive and sparked controversy recently when knowledge of it reached the public , which is often critical about painful forms of hazing . Blood wings are against Armed Forces Policy and are prohibited . Recipients of blood wings consider it a highly honorable rite of passage . The offer of blood wings is usually presented by a superior to an elite soldier who has reached a significant career transition point . The superior would probably have had the same honor at his own graduation in the past . The risky offer of blood wings to a transitioning soldier is considered an honor , but the graduate nearly always has the option to reject the offer .

During the engagement , she towed the schooner s and but , together with the rest of the American fleet , was unable to cross the bar off the port and soon broke off the attack . After this initial failure , the squadron moved south in an attempt to cut off the Yucatán Peninsula from the rest of Mexico . Success hinged upon the capture of the coastal port of Frontera , at the mouth of the Tabasco River , followed by the surrender of the city of Tabasco , upstream . " Vixen " and the rest of the squadron maneuvered into position off Frontera on 23 October . Commodore Matthew C . Perry assumed command of the gunboat and , with the schooners " Bonita " and " Walter Forward " in tow , dashed across the bar and captured the Mexican flotilla defending the port .

" Vixen " conducted clean - up operations with the squadron for the duration of the war . After the ratification of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo on 30 May 1848 , she joined the Home Squadron and underwent repairs at the Washington Navy Yard in 1850 .

End - user certificate An End - user certificate , or EUC , is a document used in international transfers , including sales and arms provided as aid , of weapons and ammunition to certify that the buyer is the final recipient of the materials , and is not planning on transferring the materials to another party . EUCs are required by many governments to restrict the flow of the materials to undesired destinations , such as embargoed states or rebel groups , governments with bad human rights records or states which are considered a threat by the original supplier of the arms . There are several problems with EUCs as a means to prevent undesirable arms exports . EUCs can be forged or falsified ; they can also be obtained from corrupt officials . Therefore there is a need for EUCs that are difficult to forge . Another problem is that an EUC does not guarantee that the arms recipient will actually live up to its promise not to re - transfer the weapons received . EUCs which are not backed up by proper end - use monitoring are weak . Finally , arms dealers can resort to smuggling arms ; for example by labeling them as or hiding them between commercial merchandise . In 1936 - 1938 , German arms were supplied to both sides in the Spanish Civil War via Greece using Greek then Mexican end - user certificates , see Pyrkal .
