They only cover something like 400-500 dollars of the kenneling fees and it has to be due to quarantine issues. We could have bought half of a nice car with the money we spent to get our two beagles from Oki to England.
How exactly would anyone being armed in this situation have prevented it? He shot one dude in the back of the head and immediately shot the driver. In other cases, yes an armed bystander would be great (hopefully) but in this case, not seeing it.
All good advice. Although, always double check whatever the supposed PETS base rep tells you. We found the guy back in 09 to be quite lacking in anything useful. Hopefully they have someone new in the slot.
It's ignorance on both sides as others have said. It took me a good 8 years as a maintainer to find out why crews would hop out of perfectly working airplanes and kick someone else out of theirs. There are a bunch of other things that routinely piss maintenance dudes off but when you look into it or someone takes 5 seconds to explain it, it makes perfect sense. I remember seeing an E model squadron scheduling board for the first time and about shitting my pants. Its a simple fix but it will never happen.
Just read on another forum from someone who witnessed a C-17 crash at Elmendorf? Anyone hear anything?

Authorities say they are investigating reports of a plane crash on Elmendorf Air Force Base this evening. Some reports indicated the aircraft involved was a C-17 cargo plane.
A black plume of smoke is visible rising from the base.
Firefighters at the downtown Station 1 say they saw a ball of flames at about 6:45 p.m. and a plume of black smoke rise from base. They were called for an agency assist to a report of a plane crash but then were cancelled moments later as they got out on the street, according to firefighters.
Elmendorf officials have so far refused to comment.
So I'm here at San Antonio for about another 6 weeks for school and then on to Kirtland for a really long time for another school. Am I able to purchase a gun being from out of state? Also, where is a good place to go blast through some ammo (rental) here in San Antonio.
Just wait until you get there and get a free Iphone/Nexus one or whatever your heart desires. European plans blow anything offered in the States out of the water. 2 year contract will get you whatever phone is hot at the moment for FREE.
All FE's are one big happy family now. Only way a non prior gets into FE school is to have a pilot ticket. The recruiter probably won't even talk to him if he mentions wanting only one job. The ball is definitely in the AF's court these days.
PCS'ng to the 41st RQS at Moody from Lakenheath
Want to get the boy home to hang out with grandparents while the wife and I house hunt and what not. Have been told three different things now today on available options.
Bottom line question is will the govt reimburse me what it would have cost them to get my wife and kid to next duty station and I pay the differnce for their requested travel?
The three options presented to me was
1. Direct travel to next duty station (Moody)
2. Travel to port where car is shipped (Atlanta)
3. Travel to port of entry for duty station (Moody according to TMO lady)
