Glad I skipped out on that CC call at half time, not to say the first part wasn't a waste of time as well

That was epic, haven't laughed that hard in a while

Geraldo's mustache has claimed responsibility for the kill....

Glad they're all ok

Great section about him and his exploits in the book SOG: The Secret Wars of America's Commandos in Vietnam by John L. Plaster. Its an excellent book overall, the section about Howard reads like something out of a Hollywood movie. Howard was nominated for the MoH 3 times inside of 13 months, the says that most of the men who served with him felt he deserved all three. Pretty humbling stuff.

Apologies for the poor quality, all I had was my Iphone. My EWO got some better shots, I'll post those when I get them. Missions into both Sendai and Matsushima are continuing, hopefully we'll be able to start pushing a serious amount of supplies into both and get it to the people that need it.

My link We opened up Sendai yesterday. Field is an absolute wreck, they've got about 4200ft available but STS is working to clear more. They've got a big pile of cars, vans, and mud bulldozed into a pile about 5000ft down the runway. I'll post some pics I took when I get the chance.

I was at EWO school when she was the OG commander at Randolph. She seemed like a real solid leader, held students to standards but never came off as someone who had drank too much of the Kool-Aid

Just got back from an exercise where, on the board in the mayors tent right alongside the MOPP and FPCON level, they had posted a reflectivecon level, I shit you not. I almost fell over when I saw that, thought my command didn't generally adhere to that kind of gayness. Pretty sad really.

Second T-38 was a bird strike during a LL, sometime end of '06 beginning of '07, both guys got out. The two T-6's were a mid-air over the aux field pattern entry, happened either Nov or Dec 2007, all four guys got out.

The whole process, as the AF runs it, is horseshit, regardless of the with valor or without. Some army/marine PFC gets a BSM for pulling his buddy out of a burning HUMVEE under fire with shrapnel lodged in his back; some shoe clerk O-5/6 f%&k puts himself in for one after 4 months of "managing and directing" assets inside the wire at Balad. Its disgusting and it cheapens the value of the people who actually earned the medals the hard way.

She probably wears underwear with dick holes in them

Adults Eternally Treated as Children..........sounds about right given the buffonery documented on the last 90 pages

This book SOG: The Secret Wars of America's Commandos in Vietnam (Paperback) ~ John Plaster Tells part of his story in Vietnam, great read, highly recommend it to anyone. Col. Howard was nominated for the Medal of Honor 3 times inside of 13 months, according to the book most people felt he deserved all 3. Here's to him

Didn't say we were banging Riddle chicks, said we were banging chicks during spring break. And you're right, there were barely any chicks at Riddle. You're also right about most of them being ugly. None of which changes the fact that that video was gayer than a bag of dicks.

Its quite sad to see how things have changed since I graduated Riddle in 03. We were more concerned with drinking ourselves into a coma and trying to nail as many chicks as possible during the two month spring break period. Seems like the gayness thats being exhibited at most levels of the Air Force has now begun to get crammed up the asses of ROTC cadets one nickel at a time.

As thin as they are you'd be hard pressed to find a more dedicated or determined ally on our side; not their fault their government is short changing them, I hope things turn around

I don't know if I've seen a better example of the complete loss of mission focus. Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are busy slugging it out with AQI and the Taliban while our leaders, who should be concentrating on how best to employ and coordinate our air assests to support said troops and win the f#!ckin war, are concerned with reflective belts and tucked PT shirts. I cannot understand how someone could possibly watch a body bag, a coffin, or a litter being carried off the back of one of our aircraft and then turn around and issue an email like that.

There's a couple E model prints on there, gotta click on them individually and it'll tell you, anything dropping GBU's is an E, Ronald Wong painted a couple "Panthers over Bosnia, Bolars over Belgrade, Dover Tour, Thunder from the North, and Nowhere to hide" are all E models
