The fact that you know that is scary!

ADMIN NOTE: Well, the bad news is that I didn't get an email notification of your reply, so something's up with the forum software. If you don't mind, could you start a thread about the problem under the AFTO-781 section of the forum so it will be "officially addressed?" Unfortunately, I can't promise when it will be fixed. We're due for an update that may take a couple of days to occur, but those are usually for security issues so don't be surprised if nothing changes after it. I ask for an appreciate your patience as we figure out what's going on...

ADMIN NOTE: I have no idea what the issue is, but I never subscribe to threads in the first place. However, I just signed up for this one to see if I get the notifications, and if there is an issue, we will pass it on to the software folks.

LCDR Tim White wasn't charged; but as for any decoration if he indeed got one (and he should have!), I am sure the USN keep that on the down-low! https://www.stripes.com/source-no-charges-against-navy-officer-for-weapons-violations-in-chattanooga-attack-1.361644 He did get a key to the city of Chattanooga, and a day named after him! https://www.wrcbtv.com/story/35359917/lt-cmdr-tim-white-relieved-during-change-of-command-ceremony The six that fell or were injured also (eventually) received Purple Hearts.

Unless those are Federal buildings, there is no prohibition against carrying in them. In fact, here is the Texas Military Department Directive (Number 5210.01) signed by MG John Nichols, Texas Adjutant General, that authorizes carry on and in Texas Military Department installations and facilities... https://tmd.texas.gov/Data/Sites/1/media/tmdpolicies/2018/tmdd-5210_01-privately-owned-firearms.pdf

That is, hypothetically speaking, based on the belief that people actually abide by the insane base policy (it's not Federal law no matter how many people claim it is, read 18 U.S. Code §930). Here in Texas, I suspect there are one or two that don't (again, hypothetically speaking). The Lone Star State does things right! The DoD could learn from it. By the way, in case you didn't notice, open carry is allowed on Texas state military installations while not in uniform!

Not to turn this into an Aussie F-111 thread, but here's a good article from a while back on why they should have retained them...as well as a lot of other articles on the same topic. https://www.ausairpower.net/pig.html Notice the file name! 🤣🤣🤣

He's a dick... BOOM!

Well, if the fucking Aussies didn't do this to their F-111s, I might be more sympathetic!

Did you miss the Alabama vs. Auburn game?!? 😎😎😎
