Four ex-military men who have joined the Philippine Senate, revealed plans Thursday to form their own small group in the Senate to be called the Cavaliers club. The group includes two senators who launched several failed mutinies against past and present administrations. But some of their meetings will have to be held in the jail where one of the members is incarcerated. Re-elected Senator Panfilo Lacson, a former general who served both the Armed Forces of the Philippines and once as chief of the Philippine National Police, said the group will take on the Wednesday Group composed of Senators Manuel Villar, JoKer Arroyo, Francis Pangilinan and Ralph Recto. Vice President Noli de Casto was also a member of the Wednesday group when he was still senator.

The second class to enter the Air Force Academy since Sept. 11, 2001 graduated Thursday morning. It wasn't a grim ceremony. Along with watching a show by the Thunderbirds after the ceremony and tossing their hats in the air, the 1,000 member graduating class was also able to view video of a boogying cadet beforehand. Along with talking about what the dangers cadets will face on the battlefield, commencement speaker Defense Secretary Robert Gates told the cadets he had seen the funny video himself.

A Staffodshire bull terrier named Bush survived for almost for two weeks by eating a dead bird and drinking water from a fall before he was finally rescued by a military helicopter in Britain. Bush reportedly lost his way on a cliff ledge while his owner Margie Brett was on holiday in the area. The Daily Mail said the dog survived by eating a crow and drinking from a waterfall that runs along the 100-foot cliffs in North Devon. Currently Bush is being treated by a veterinarian and will be reunited with Brett and her husband in a few days.
