No place better to wish everyone a very merry Christmas than in the Squadron Bar! I hope everyone is able to spend the day with friends and family, and for those of you who cannot, please be safe wherever you are and know we appreciate your service and sacrifice! Cheers! M2

Write it in crayon, using small monosyllabic words so A1 can comprehend.

I heard the WG/CC is going to get up on stage with a bunch of roses and start handing them out one by one. Those who receive a rose get to stay, and those without a rose will be leaving us tonight.

Merry Christmas to all the fuckers on my all time favorite electronic distraction.

Because iPads haven't been approved for fighters yet. The Navy has them, I hear. Whatever, just give me the ILS frequency and the inbound course. Vectors to final will do, thanks.

For the life of me I can't figure out why missileers aren't taken seriously.... Chuck

In other news... Ghostrider?

They raised the kids who built the modern phone.

How bout we just buy 1% less F-35s and use that money to keep flying the A-10?

And one of the pilots is their squadron commander. Take note, active duty box-checkers: this is how you fucking LEAD.

Haters gon hate. Really...it's not ok to give a dude shit who's talking about getting lipo rather than just working out more and/or learning how to just call it good? I'd gladly give that person shit in person if they were in my squadron. I get that we're a kinder, gentler Air Force and hell, I'm supposed to be the token pansy liberal, but come on, a story like this is absolutely begging for a callsign. Bah humbug, maybe I should just learn to be nicer? Like I said, merry Christmas and hopefully Santa brings the OP some common sense in his stocking this year.

THIS! The President has stated many times about us all doing our "fair share", but I don't see any of our elected officials, welfare recipients, illegals getting tax benefits, etc being asked to give up ANYTHING. As many keep trying to convey, our retirement is an earned pension, not a discretionary benefit.

I wouldn't be fine with it. Why does it have to be about military pensions vs. civil service pensions? What about the rest of the population? What are they sacrificing if I am giving up $120K in earned benefits?

Whatever happened to the congressman who supposedly frequented these pages a year or so ago. I would be interested to hear why he felt the need to stab his fellow service members in the back. https://kinzinger.house.gov

I'm sure you are not somehow suggesting that one shouldn't write to their elected representatives because "aides/interns respond with canned letters matching the subject". I assume you are merely trying to point out what you consider obvious, and I assure you, we all here appreciate that we have you to do that for us. If you are not interested in the responses because you question their sincerity, that's fine (thanks for sharing your opinion, I'll have my intern draft up a canned letter for you in the morning). I find it difficult to digest your post and derive any value without scotch...so....I'll wait until I get home and reevaluate. Bendy

Shut it punk. Here's a non-CGI from when I was a Capt and you were still deciding if you liked chicks or dudes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNHXFviVb8I

you guys realize these are aides/interns responding with canned letters to match the subject of what you wrote in about right?

The only thing I can think of is that Republicans in Congress are just happy that there was a budget deal that could pass both houses and get signed by the President. They think that since they just gave away the house, the Democrats will be willing to negotiate on future budget issues. But as long as Harry Reid is a member of the Senate I think the Republicans may as well give up. This is one-way compromise, and the only way to move your agenda forward is to win back the Senate. I would be fine with a COLA cut as the price of passing a budget (heaven knows this Congress needs to finally do that), if the civilian retirement were affected by the same COLA cut. But it's not.

Dude, you have nothing better to do other than comment your useless thoughts? Unless you know someone's complete reasons for doing what they're doing, then please for the good of mankind, stop growing a pair behind a keyboard and go do something useful. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
