This looks like it could be funny/good. "Iron Sky"

New Bourne movie. Shold be good. Jeremy Renner as the lead guy instead of Matt Damon, and includes Ed Norton. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xoihgz_the-bourne-legacy-trailer-official-2012-1080-hd-jeremy-renner_people

That's one of the best movie trailers I've seen in a long time. Hope it's as good as it looks. And, if only...

All I know is that was fvckin hilarious. Right up there with when someone put a pic of Grumpy Old Men with "here we go" after it looked like Rainman and M2 were going to go at it. This had me laughing too. Keep it up. Winning.

Now that's fvckin funny.

2. Fvck em. I've had it with this sh!t. They definitely can have their piece of sh!t country back. I'm going over in a month hopefully for the last time. At least maybe I'll take a few bad guys out before I leave. Either way I don't care. Just stop spending lives and money on these worthless fvcks. Rant off.

3. I couldn't give a fvck less about the acting. It was certainly good enough to carry the bigger points, and scenes, of the movie home. Kickass.

Gross...

Comedy gold. If nothing else, gotta love a guy that can laugh at himself... https://www.stevebridges.com/videos_bush-WHCA-Dinner.html

Same thing happened during OIF. We were told not to talk about it. To anyone. Don't tell your wife where you're going, your mistress, your kids, your mom, etc. otherwise super secret squirrel ninjas will drop from the ceiling and gnaw your balls off. Once we got there they actually sold "Hello from country X" postcards in the BX, as well as all the other crap you mentioned. No sh!t. UFB.

Used the search function, didn't find this posted before. Go...

F bomb police? Really? Is she only allowed to use smiley face emoticons? You gonna take away her birthday next?

And finally some air-air. Oddly, 3 of the 4 Attack/fighter units, except my old Barnes MA one... It was a good time when we had 4 Attack/fighter units out of the 6 New England states. Never was a big fan of CT's goofy-grape big lightning bolt Hog, but some good shots anyway.

So far no luck with the Red Sox/Pats jets. I'll try to see if some bro's have them. I've got one ground shot:

Awesome. I'm sure I speak for our entire community when I say Thank You for taking the time to research this and honor Donk and the others involved. Cheers, Barney

Not sure. I'll check...

My favorite A-10 pic. Sorry, not air-air.

Shack. It's why I wish him luck- I truly believe his intentions are honest and he is incredibly selfless. He also spends time on missions to povertous countries and volunteers to speak with inmates at prisons to try to help. We need more like him, IMO. It's also another reason why Butter's is an ass and his hate-filled posts were moronic.

Agree the song sucks but hopefully they make some better ones. Although DLR is wacky, he's still the voice for VH IMO. It still sounds pretty damn good, and Eddie still wails. Back in the day they sure made some f'n epically ass-kickin' tunes.

"Memphis Belle: A traditional pin-up adorns the RAF plane" Wait... what?!? Butters you're an ass.

F'n awesome story. What a great MOOOOSTACHE!!! Wish we could grow em like dat.

Agreed. I will never deny his accolades. His 10 air medals and DFC are just deserved. I will always be proud of him and he's one of my best friends. It's just tough to make your own way, as much as I try, without that as a part of my life. My comments were to educate without his influence- of which I never asked beyond a recommendation. But thank you for the honorable mention. He deserves inclusion always. I let him know that daily. I would be happy to help any ass-kickin' driven bro out there. Barney

Hey! GFYS (again)! My mentioning that specific case wasn't because I knew to go past the guy at the time. It was because I've learned that since. I was too green and DIDN'T go past him. Luckily I still got hired. Cane53d- his callsign is Bones. That's all the info I'll give out on an internet message board, sorry.

In other words, to use the above as an example to answer all the rest of the posters questions, you can work anywhere. It's not like there are specific jobs out there that include "and is easily workable with Guard duty". The law allows you to be out of the office to do Guard duty. The unwritten aspects are how many longer days you have to work to make it happen, how happy the boss will be with you, etc. Some jobs are better than others (Airlines, Aerospace industry, Defense contractors, GS jobs, Law Enforcement, to name a few). Let me try to give examples while still keeping it faster/funnier: 1. If you are applying for a new job, don't "overemphasize" your Guard commitments. Don't lie, but keep it brief ("I'm in the Guard"). If they ask, tell them what's necessary. Employers can't legally NOT hire you due to you being in the Guard, but they can mask their displeasure and choose someone else because they don't like that you'll be out of the office. 2. My experience is as a figher guy, other airframes are probably different. Typical monthly commitment to get your sorties is 5 days a month. One of those 5 is typically the Saturday of the "one weekend a month". So, you'll probably plan on being out 4 days of the work month. When I was a civilian contractor I did Thursday/Friday of every other week. Keep in mind that MANY of the pilots put the drill Saturday as one of their availability periods for the same reason you do, so actually flying that day isn't easy. Makes it tough to get 6 sorties in the 4 other days unless your unit does out/backs, double turns, or there's tankers for a fight-tank-fight, but that's the way it goes. Don't forget the weather and maintenance cancels... 3. When I was a civilian contractor, I could take mil leave to do my flying days, but of course that reduced my monthly pay. That's fine (I'm not in this for the money), but I either got less pay, or worked longer days the other days of the week. So, if you wanted to do 40 hours a week AND fly Thur/Fri, you'd have to do 3, 13 hour days plus a one hour kicker on one of the days. My boss didn't want us constantly doing reduced hour workweeks, so I spent some LONG days working. If you're real lucky you can find a job that does 2 week pay/work periods. In other words, spreading 80 hours out over 8 wordays is a lot easier than spreading 40 hours out over 3 days, then doing a normal 40 hour in 5 days the next week. 4. The airlines are obviously the popular pick- it's the best paying, most flexible, easiest job I've seen work with Guard commitments. Couple things to think about if you've got the option (my experience is now as a Fedex guy): a. You typically get scheduled 15-17 days a month. A few days less than working full-time workweeks. b. I can't think of many other jobs where they carry, daily, multiple people in "reserve" to pick up doing your job in case you don't come in. Makes dropping days scheduled to work for your airline to go to the Guard easy. Good luck, Barney
