  1. Slightly off topic, but today was a damn good day to put on a uniform.....
  2. I find it interesting that in 2 pages of gay talk here on Baseops that there is barely any gay bashing like there has been in threads past. Why is that? Is it because he was a fellow aviator? He is a great poster boy for allowing gays into the military. What a great example. He is a combat proven aviator. He is well spoken. And according to him and a few people here his gayness went undetected for 18 years. I am not stupid enough to fall for this. Do people really think every gay person that is going to serve in the military is going to keep it hidden for 18 years if they do away with don't ask don't tell? Because in reality we are dealing with the military as a whole. When people speak of ruining good order, morale and discipline they are speaking of the average army dude hanging out in the barracks acting gay as gay gets. If you do away with don't ask don't tell you will be dealing with a flaming ###### who WILL ruin good order, morale and discipline. I am glad they found the perfect gay dude to be the poster boy for the liberal media who can put pressure on Obama and make him do right on his campaign promise of getting rid of the policy. Bottom line is gays do not belong in the military. My last question is this. What behavior did he show to get turned in? If he did not say anything and the Air Force did not ask then how did anyone know?
  3. Twice in the last week we have had SF pull over people in our squadron parking lot. The offense was not coming to a complete stop for at least 3 seconds at a stop sign.
  4. I bet Col Robin Olds had a similar change of command ceremony.
  5. Aviation is roughly 100 years old. The B-52 has been flying for half of that time.
  6. I am curious how much distance was between the pirate ship and the destroyer the SEALS were on. Must have been pretty tough for a sniper to get the shot with both boats moving on the water. They are bad mother ######ers no doubt. I am glad they are on our team.
  7. +3 That is why I always take my cooler full of beer prior to leaving home station...you never know where you will end up. Some of the best TDY times I have had have been drinking cans of cold beer on the back of the Herc.
  8. Well said in an earlier post. Rest in peace young warrior. These guys are not only elite warriors they are the most professional people I have ever dealt with bar none. Attached are two pics from a couple weeks ago while dropping at Creech AFB.
  9. This will be a "classic thread" by page 3.
  10. Way to pick out humor. Good job. A+ for SA
  11. Seriously people. Quit giving bad advice to people who really just want an honest answer. Tracer Tong, how formal of an event is this? I think you should take off the name tag, lapels and ribbon from the jacket. That way you can wear the whole suit. Just do not wear a brown belt and shoes.
  12. I work with an ex security forces guy. He tells a story that while stationed at Whiteman one of the SF guys he worked with was doing drugs and obviously did not want to get caught. He figures they might do a random room inspection at his base dorm while he is at work. So he puts the drugs in his BDU pants pocket and heads off to work at the SF headquarters building. He no more than walks in and heads down the main hallway where one of the dog handlers has his drug dog walking the opposite direction down the hallway. You guessed it.... dog is all over this guys pocket. Busted. He has a funny SF buffoonery story as well. They had to do hourly inspections at the Whiteman bomb dump (door seals, locks etc..) One guy would go and break open chem sticks and poor it all over the door area so it glowed green. Other guy would have the newest SF dude in the truck doing the inspections. Newest guy would be told to get out and go check it out. Driver pulls out chem mask from under the seat puts it on and locks the truck doors. Hilarity insues as the totally confused new guy flips out and can not get back into the truck as it drives off. At least they have a little fun while they are not writing tickets for 2 miles over the speed limit.
  13. The 69th has been a B-52 squadron before. There was also a 69th Fighter Squadron that flew F-16s at Moody. What is the big deal?
  14. If one of those gets in the egg a baby will be formed.
  15. T Summers, You can type pretty much anything you want. UFOs, bigfoot, Nessie....we are only going to look at your avatar and wonder who the hell that chick is, where she is, is she single and what is under her hands.
  16. Maternal Grandfather was a Marine in WW2. Fought in the Pacific. Paternal Grandfather was in the Army WW2. Fought in Europe. Dad is a retired O-6 and C-130 pilot. I am a C-130 loadmaster.
  17. We are going through the same process. I would start with the Sq/CC and see if he/she has any ideas. Alot of units use an older version of the patch. If your unit is old enough you may find that it used a much different patch from say WWII. We are using our units version during the Korean war. Also, you may find some ideas on usafpatches.com under the gallery section.
  18. I wonder if the cologne was to cover up the period smell.
  19. I remember having to taller tap the vans at Ramstein. And you could not mix the maintainers green vans and the ops blue vans in the parking lots. Also had to have the ropes that were attached to the chocks tied in a bowtie in front of the tire.
  20. Just what the AF needs.
  21. The conversation comes up at work from time to time....how do we take back this Air Force of ours? Any realistic suggestions? I say be a damn crew dawg. It is that simple. Hack the F'ing mission and mentor the young with a strong emphasis on the history of this Air Force. It was born in controversy and led by folks who said f___ the system. Jerry McGuire rant...out.
  22. Bad times for the mighty eagle. I hope everyone is OK.
  23. I am a guy in back....a loadmaster. I guess I can say I am a pilot. In certain circumstances. Nice arguement.
