When I was a boom line flier, we didn't come to work unless we were flying. The squadron was a ghost town. Being a prior Mx dude, in the beginning, I would show up at work when I wasn't flying until my Chief boom ripped me a new one for being in the squadron. He told me my job is to fly. I'm not sure why this practice stopped. I did my job in an aircraft not at an office. Towards the end of my AF career, they put me in the OSS. I didn't come to work unless I was flying lol. The trick is to be really bad at office work or simply don't do it if it's bullshit. Mass deleting emails was also fun. Them: "Did you get the email I sent you?", me: "Nope" I was actually taking flights from people who were "too busy" with office work. Lol Fucking weird. In my time, it went from flying being my primary job to office work. Caution: You will most likely not get promoted beyond O-4 (perhaps even O-3) following my path of deleting emails.

When we first invaded Iraq, they were definitely lobbing things into the air. The first few weeks of OIF provided a nice display of airbursts. I did see AAA tracking an aircraft below us. I can see it clearly to this day. I was a boom in the KC-10. Another one of our crews was followed by airburst. The boom was one of my friends. He seemed pretty shook up talking about it. One of my receivers was shot down on April 7, 2003 near Tikrit. I'm not claiming the tankers were strafing and taking out targets but I wouldn’t say tankers seeing AAA is nonsense. The problem is most of the guys who flew in the invasion are out. It's probably been a few years since a tanker crew felt threatened.

The AMC Curtis Lemay. I agree with CH, the Chinese would need to strike soon (next few years) to have a chance. I hope they don't but hope doesn't stop bullets. I'm glad to see someone putting the "killing" spirit into AMC. If China decides it's time to dance, a lot of people (good guys too) will eat it. I think it will benefit our airmen to see leadership transition (sts) from the GWOT mentality to a traditional war fighter mindset. Seeing tankers explode in flight is a far cry from burning circles over bad guys with complete air superiority. The AMC airmen who've never seen airburst and AAA will have better chance, (knowing that AMC assets will be targeted) if they train to fight against it.

Deadbeat dads are horrible. They are shunned in moral societies as they should be. Abortion however, in some parts of the country, is celebrated. They are both fucked up. I assume nobody on here likes deadbeats, my comparison between abortion and deadbeats is to highlight the inconsistencies in how people in our society view these topics. Once again, one is celebrated and the other not so much.

Special Ops uses knives ...lol

Lol I ran out of votes but this was too funny!

Sir, just one question. Who's going to get the ATIS?

What is a simp? I can only think of the word simpleton.

You can just make a vault in your closet. That's where I keep all of the SKL's I kept forgetting to give back after loading the codes. The classified documents I kept are hanging on display near my shadow box. I sold a few to one of my Chinese friends because he pays good money for them.

Nerds!!!!!!

You know for a fact that only one of those hole punchers works properly. The fun is trying to guess which one works each time you need to punch a few holes. It is an Air Force standard to keep all hole punchers on alert, regardless of their mx status.

Biden has apparently had dementia since he started his career as a politician. Among other gems coming out of the current President's mouth, Regan never claimed to be arrested visiting Nelson Mandela. Regan didn't lie consistently about his life experiences. Regan didn't have a son named Hunter smoking crack, making porn and using the name Regan to make business deals. The Bidens are scum.

This is a typical Sunday for retired aviators. Lol

That’s a lot of boom and doom on one panel.

https://www.inc.com/jason-aten/with-3-words-microsofts-ceo-showed-that-you-can-lay-off-10000-people-with-empathy.html Are "You are fired" the three empathetic words to lay off the masses? Why is Elon horrible but Satya is a saint? There is no easy way to tell people they're fired. Every company in the free world, at some point, can lay people off for profit. Don't try to tell me that Microsoft is better at firing people for profit than other companies. That's ridiculous. Another douche writer spinning shit to make some people look better than others for doing the exact same thing. "Oohhh look at us at Microsoft, we're so much better at firing people". Lol.

He's had a little time to reflect about the mishandling of classified material. Apparently, he's had a change of heart. Back to the garage. I need to study and smoke a little crack with my son.

I've waited a lifetime to use that joke in real time. I feel like the slow clap guy in "Not Another Teen Movie". Lol. Good job Hoss. You win the internet today.

We need a bigger handle lol

I wish there was a handle that we (the American people) could use to flush out all of our elected officials in D.C. and send them back to the sewers from which they came. It's out of control. They're all terds. Send them home.

That's nuts man! It's kinda like something a German media genius named Joseph would be proud of. I would say share this with the media but ...lol
