Cheers, brothers. My heart goes out to the friends and family, and these wings on my chest just got a little heavier.

You are a great American, ol-IEWO. Well said!

Points all taken and noted. Yes, I have been to Cannon, four months TDY there. As I said, it's all about opinions. The Dirty Politician is none other than a certan ex-presidential canidate... And yes, it was BS that they kept it open. Even if I didn't mind it there, it should have been closed down... No real use for it after the F-16 went away.

Meaning, of course, a day trip. You can leave in the morning and be back home at night without too much sweat. Sorry if I wasn't clear. HD, they don't need your hubcaps, they already spent $4,000 ($3,995 more than the cost of their car) on rims. Also, to clarify, people who joined AFSOC to bring pain upon those who deserve it with a few different kick ass C-130 mods, more power to them. It won't matter where they are stationed. They get to do a kick ass job and "Bring the rain" to those who oppose us. (Yeah, Transformers, I know) I'm guessing we all know people who just wanted to go hang out on the beach at Hurlburt and don't care about the mission. Those are the ones who will really be sore at going to Clovis. I'm of the opinion that the people who bitch about the base they are stationed at are the ones who make that particular base a shit hole. 13 years in the USAF has taught me this. I loved my time at Kirtland. Granted, Clovis ain't no Kirtland, but it's still not as bad as....(Insert the name of any base in Texas here). But hey, that's my opinion, and, as we all know, opinions are like assholes. I won't change anyone's mind here what they think of it, I realize this. So I'm going to sit back and enjoy the rest of this thread. Discus - glad to be both an asshole and the proud owner opinions

Let's see, hard working folks there who still tip their hats and treat everyone with respect. World class skiing only a day away. Green chillie... Oh, wait, you went to AFSOC because you wanted to go to Hurlburt? SUCKER. Now you get both the unbelieveable ops tempo and a place without a big city. Cry me a river. Every base is what you make of it. *Been stationed at both Hurlburt and Kirtland.*

Just got this one in the in-box. No proof that it is true, but pretty good, and has a signature block. Letter to the Mayor of Berkley. Dear Mayor Bates, In that you and your city have chosen to gravely insult the brave men and women, who have indeed bought you that right with their blood, I am informing you that my company will no longer do business with any of our current suppliers located in the Berkeley, California metro area. In that my company is in international resort real estate development, and do business with and am associated with, developers and investors worldwide, I am informing all of my contacts, associates and patrons that we will no longer do any business of any sort with anyone living in the Berkeley area. In that we/MDG Resorts are currently building a state of the art mega-yacht marina, all of the suppliers of Marina equipment, all owners of Yachts , all suppliers of Yacht materials & supplies, all yacht brokers and all tangential yacht business purveyors will likewise be informed that we will not do any business whatsoever with anyone from the Berkeley area. Likewise all suppliers of building materials, both interior and exterior, currently associated with any of our several resort developments (Brisamar 300+ villas and 200+ condos: Porto Hussong, www.portohussong.com 500+ condos, 180 slip mega-yacht marina) both of which I might add have international recognition by virtue of glowing reports in Robb Report, Wall Street Journal, Yacht World, Forbes. I will likewise inform all of our investors, most of whom are very wealthy yacht owners, casino owners, high net worth international businessmen, of our decision to essentially boycott all products and providers located in, or associated with in any way whatsoever, Berkeley, Ca. Trust me when I say that having been in the real estate development business for over 35 years, our list of contacts and associates is long and very, very impressive. We, and I personally, are going to recommend that they ALL along with us boycott your city, its purveyors, suppliers, and businesses and CHARITIES of every kind. You have every right to choose to take the obnoxious anti-military stance you have taken, and as stated, that right was bought for you with the blood of better men than you. I too have every right to do all that I can to insure that your city suffers consequences arising from that obnoxious, sickening stance. Cordially, Brian G Dennard Principal Director Meridian Development Group, LLC 619 807 2444 www.mdgresorts.com www.portohussong.com

Been laughing at these for a while. Thought I would add my $.02
