Yes, but they were stopped by customs. Didn't have the magic stamp on the orders.

It's called sarcasm. Maybe I should have included some tampons with my post.

I can just picture our little Qatari friends sitting around a table thinking of the next scheme to F with the Americans. "Hey Abdul, what should we do this week?" "How about shut off the water supply to the base for 3 days, and make them take showers with the water bottles. Besides, the rainforests we have growing at all our highway interchanges needs some extra water." "No no no no, we already did that. Boy they stank worse than we do after that!" I remember the great booze shortage or early 2010. The waiver didn't get signed and slowly, the bra started running out of booze. First it was the good beer, then the good liquor. Then went the wine and finally we were down to wild turkey and raspberry Smirnoff ice. One of the low points in my life was coming back after a long mission to find out there was a few cases of Smirnoff left. Reluctantly, I ordered one, drank it in silence wondering if my balls were going to detach and make a run for the border. The talk on the boulevard freq was finding out who was at dafra and did they have booze. Which resulted in the dafra guys letting all the deid guys know what beer they were going to have after their sortie. My nav got the shakes and refused to navigate and instead said, "just fly fking east you ahole. Wake me up when you see the tanker." Rumors were rampant. One day, there was a commotion in the hallway of the trailer. A flatbed was spotted with booze shaped boxes. So we bolted outside (but not without our reflective belts) to go check it out. And there in the bra, was 18 wheels of freedom. Loaded to the gills with cases of beer and and booze of all shapes and sizes. The line at the bra that night stretched all the way to the stage. The scene was similar to those WWII victory films from new york. With the ticker tape, cheers, and women everywhere. Except without the women and ticker tape. And shortly after that some Chiefs came around and said we were all smiling too much.

I'm on a waiver for failing the red lens test in addition to some other eye waivers. I had to do some other tests if I remember right. Something about one eye focusing before the other.

He's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw the pilot pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

TAC Airlifter wrote this a while back in another thread. Hope you don't mind the repost, but it's spot on.

I'd crack open another beer and grab a seat.

38th and 343d are RJs (The V and W models). There really isn't a difference between the two squadrons at a basic level. As in they go to the same places, fly the same planes, etc etc. 45th is everything else. It is the typical pissing match between the squadrons, most in good fun. The 45th is the best though. Just ask them.... RJs are very busy and you will be on the road. Typically you are going to get more flying time in the 38th or 343d. Deployments are 60s and 90s now. It's tough to say how long you will be gone each year. Depends on your crew position, job at the SQ, manning, etc. I know some folks gone for 8+ months a year and there's some people who go 12 months without deploying. I think RJs is a good gig, especially after listening to folks in other airframes. I can remember all the guys in my init qual class talking about how pissed they were at UPT drop night when they got RCs (Don't be that guy). After being around the community, the consensus is most have good things to say. This community is what you make of it. You can sit and bitch about flying a -135 when you really should have had that -17, or you can master your job and soak up everything you can about everyone eles' job on the plane. You don't want to be the guy/gal that hates the community and is vocal about it. Things will not end well. Again, things will not end well. Omaha is nice as well. Besides the the typical Omaha stuff people have already posted, there is a lot of other things to do if you look for them. Plus College World Series is always a blast, and the new stadium and downtown atmosphere is pretty cool. If you are not a Husker fan before coming here, beware. It's like a cult or something. I even think Herbie Husker had something to do with this flood. Something about the Big 10... The 55th Wing is a beast of its own however....

Another good quote from the comments "A salute today, PT uniform tomorrow, a failed NSI next week."

Don't forget the plants and bushes they water outside the chow hall in the Better People's Complex at the Deid.

Man Brings Beer to DWI Court Appearance "he showed up for a court hearing on a felony DWI charge drunk and carrying an open can of Busch beer, plus four more cans in a bag."

I'll be happier once I actually see one of these jets on the ramp. Until then, not holding my breath. But score for Boeing!

I think the club is still under renovation. Either way, it'll be awesome to have the U-2 at Offutt.

I bought that T-Shirt and wore it to the bars in Wisconsin last month. They loved it.

It's Offutt. Logic doesn't apply here.

The ###### YOU bus! You knew when you were doing OK on that sortie when the IP let you go circle the ###### YOU bus for a minute.

Here's what has me worried about PT tests in the desert. As soon as we have folks start failing tests out there, our OPR bullet commanders will want to have mandatory squadron PT. It's only a matter of time... At our base, 5 of the 6 civilian fitness testers are fat. That makes no sense and it's the first thing our squadron started to bitch about once they left after briefing us. Why do we have people giving these tests who could not pass it themselves?

All sorts of awesome in this story.

Tanker getting ready to leave the airshow. Fighter after fighter are leaving ahead and all asking for unrestricted to FL really high. Tanker at the hold short line, waits for the last fighter to make his request, then keys the radio and asks for unrestricted to 20k. Tower: Aircraft 69, would you like me to read the convective SIGMET? Aircraft 69: Go ahead. Tower: Proceeds to read for 5 minutes the SIGMET. Aircraft 69: Roger, thanks for the info Tower: Aircraft 69, can you read all that back to me. That was funny.
