Post the text of the PM on here, I'm always down for a good laugh

Is this PPT where Daniel Tosh got his idea for "high fashion"?.......couldn't help but think that was the funniest part of this.

Not a rumor, happened a couple months ago. Some of your details are wrong, the crew (included said OG/CC) elected to continue the mission after the strike. When they got back to HRT they discovered the damage was far more extensive than previously thought. From what I understand (not 100 percent on this part), the WG/CC Q3'd the OG/CC, not the OG/CC giving out Q3s to the crew. Understandable on the confusion due to the fact that said OG/CC gave over 25 commander directed Q3's during his time as a SQ/CC.

Sad, but not really suprising. In today's day, it doesn't seem like any politician has any shame if there's some political gain involved. There's a flag in a compound in Bagram that isn't at half staff right now (hopefully) and thats the one I'm really concerned about, cause that means that none of the guys I support are going home in a box today.

2, I was pretty happy that my explaination of why thats ok left him with nothing intelligent to say.

Rest easy brothers...

Condolences to the families, I really hope whoever is found responsible is swiftly fired.

Not where they live it won't, chiefs don't exist in those parts, too dangerous for their health. Even at the main bases Chiefs know better than to pull that shit with those guys, they'll get asked to leave the living area politely, one time.

Not always a good thing, as evidenced by the new 1st SOW/CC, although most former Pave Low guys I know are good dudes.

Every time I've worked with the British military they've been the epitome of professionals, condolences to the family, rest easy brother.

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.

Rest easy brothers

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

Rest easy bros

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.
