My wife and I had been dating for about 1.5 years. As my UPT date approached, we weren't sure what to do. She was still in college. I was going to be in BOQ in Columbus. How was she going to visit and how often? I proposed on a Thursday evening. We went to the courthouse Friday morning and got married. Then we called our parents and I called CBM and said I needed a house on base. Arrived there a week later and got to work making some kids. That was 26 years ago. Now we have grandkids. I wanted to fly and I wanted a family. There is absolutely no reason why someone can't do both. Granted, you gotta choose wisely, but going home to a house after flying, having a dinner at a table every night, getting laid, and having someone to be with... I wouldn't do it any other way. That said, I sympathize with you. The quality of women available to men of your generation is absolute shit. good luck.

...standing by for Biff's dibs...

Similar story. Proposed June 3rd, married July 14th, moved to Lubbock July 21st, started UPT Aug 3rd. First kid born mid-May (middle of 38s). 3 more years of FAIPdom, another kid, followed by 17 years of Herks. 15 years after retiring, and we’re celebrating our 35th anniversary next month. YMMV, but don’t pass up “the one” Sent from my iPad using Baseops Network mobile app

I can't believe that lying douchebag isn't in prison. He should be for what he did.

I retired back in 2014 but many of my Squadron mates are reaching age sixty or hitting the age sixty rollback and applying for their retirement and running into long delays getting their retirement pay (mine took six months). Apparently when the ARPC implemented a new FSS system back in January there was a massive data loss with over 60k people affected. Many veterans who were already long retired and collecting a check had to resubmit their retirement packages. As a result there is a huge backlog for ARPC to close out retirement applications. As you know once you turn in your CAC card you are effectively cut off from all your digital data and are at the whim of whatever data remains in the various support commands so needless to say it’s important to back up as much data as you can prior to retirement. If you retire after twenty years and will not collect until age sixty that means archiving that data so it will be preserved through multiple iterations of computer, software, and OS updates!

Dibs Laces out Dan!

This is why “we” have not experienced true victory in a longggg time. Unrealistic goals.

Crushing pussy is admin … married or single. Should take very little of your time and attention to do well. or maybe you aren’t cut out to fly fighters ….

Long-time hang for Herk crews on rote for yrs. Easy walk from the Zoo or the Morgue 😎

Biff ain't the 1st to dibs that, nor will he be the last.

Would be nice. HB is a great show! I'll be there though... in the chalet with a cocktail in my hand.

@pawnman @Pooter @Prozac @disgruntledemployee @nsplayr @Homestar @Snuggie @jazzdude You all just got directly called out in the debrief. Full accountability. Care to defend, retract, alter or otherwise explain your stances? Accountability is what we need and what most of you have preached.

...and never drank it... Couldn't resist.

Another friendly reminder: Never trust anything you see on SM, MSM, blog site, etc. Go independently verify the claims or implications on at least a couple other sources before accepting and/or spreading said claims and implications. If more Americans did this, we’d be so much better off.

Well, maybe not…sounds like they have plans for the site https://www.thesun.co.uk/money/28372424/pub-bird-hand-raf-mildenhall-closed/
