Hi guys, Just a heads up for those who didn't know, the History Channel is running Vietnam in HD tonight at 9/8 Central. I thought WWII in HD was well done so hopefully this series is just as good. https://www.history.com/shows/vietnam-in-hd/videos/vietnam-in-hd-preview#vietnam-in-hd-preview

Good that they are taking responsibility, but disgusting that it happened in the first place. As a Herk guy that has moved his share of human remains in the AOR, I got sick to my stomach to find out how some of them were handled once they arrived "home", especially after seeing the priority, care, and respect they are given down range. To me, this is far beyond accidentally flying nukes across the country.

It's called sarcasm. Maybe I should have included some tampons with my post.

I can just picture our little Qatari friends sitting around a table thinking of the next scheme to F with the Americans. "Hey Abdul, what should we do this week?" "How about shut off the water supply to the base for 3 days, and make them take showers with the water bottles. Besides, the rainforests we have growing at all our highway interchanges needs some extra water." "No no no no, we already did that. Boy they stank worse than we do after that!" I remember the great booze shortage or early 2010. The waiver didn't get signed and slowly, the bra started running out of booze. First it was the good beer, then the good liquor. Then went the wine and finally we were down to wild turkey and raspberry Smirnoff ice. One of the low points in my life was coming back after a long mission to find out there was a few cases of Smirnoff left. Reluctantly, I ordered one, drank it in silence wondering if my balls were going to detach and make a run for the border. The talk on the boulevard freq was finding out who was at dafra and did they have booze. Which resulted in the dafra guys letting all the deid guys know what beer they were going to have after their sortie. My nav got the shakes and refused to navigate and instead said, "just fly fking east you ahole. Wake me up when you see the tanker." Rumors were rampant. One day, there was a commotion in the hallway of the trailer. A flatbed was spotted with booze shaped boxes. So we bolted outside (but not without our reflective belts) to go check it out. And there in the bra, was 18 wheels of freedom. Loaded to the gills with cases of beer and and booze of all shapes and sizes. The line at the bra that night stretched all the way to the stage. The scene was similar to those WWII victory films from new york. With the ticker tape, cheers, and women everywhere. Except without the women and ticker tape. And shortly after that some Chiefs came around and said we were all smiling too much.

Recall TAMI-21

I heard a rumor that the board has been pushed back to January?

I'm putting my money on the crossflow option...it is the quickest, least expensive fix so it would make the most sense....when it happens, it will also mark the time the Air Force finally figures out that it really doesn't have an overage of 11M pilots, or rather the reason it appears to have an overage is because they keep giving 11F/B programmed (T-38 track) UPT graduates airlift assignments. I think someone's lightbulb just lit up... In any case, good news for new pilots who want to be fighter pilots..... Anyone taking bets on the next rated recall?? I'm saying within 15 months from TODAY.

Guard Question: Is this course a unit funded school or an ANG funded school? Trying to find the answer to this question while 9+30 ahead of EST is getting somewhat infuriating. Thanks. GW

Somebody pinch me...

So quasi-off topic but I had nightmares over this last night.....I was in the clinic for some shots yesterday, I look up and what do my eyes see, some SSgt walking down the hall with a reflective belt in. his. blues....please tell me this is not becoming a trend across the AF?!

That's a problem with your people, not the test brother. Come take a test with me and you'll be judged fairly. We can even do hand-release pushups, that's fairly easy to judge Really...1 hour per year to assess our physical fitness is too much to ask? It seems like I spend more time training how to combat human trafficking and operate a fire extinguisher.
