The boom operator passes the offload to us upon completion of AR. That amount is recorded on the AF 664 along with the date, tanker tail number and home-station, and the fact that it was in-flight refueling. The 664 is usually in the back of our aircraft forms binder which is turned in to home-station maintenance upon return.

So how's life up there right about now? CHS ORI in progress... God help us all....

Whoa whoa whoa... let's slow it down. Has anyone checked with to see if this guy is legit?

That was your 69th post... you've got nothing to be worried about, my friend.

I heard it was intentional and in protest to the repeal of DADT.

I think that e-mail is from Ali... But you are 100% correct. There are too many people deployed if anyone has time to even THINK about memorizing anything other than Bold Face, Tech Orders, or Job Guides while over there.

Shack.

It's change for the sake of change. It's what the Air Force is all about.

Analyst: Military bands to cost Pentagon $50B over next 50 years I guess sparkely bowties aren't cheap.

What's an 8-roper? Edit: Legitimate question... and yes I do know what a desert jellyfish is.

Apparently BMW is trying to market to the last 10% of AF pilots who don't drive a ######ing Bimmer.

I'm looking forward to the Lifetime movie!

I'm truly surprised the cockpit/box office joke hasn't been made yet.

Revival. I have heard rumors about Wright Patt looking for Active Duty IP's to help with the transition from the C-5. Anyone from the 89th AS on here that might be able to shed some light?

And where do they suggest the wives say their husbands went for that 4 to 12 month period of time?! Beer run?

Upon return, I go to the post office where they hand me a large plastic container full of crap, 5% of which is of any importance.

1) Stop the mail if you'll be gone for more than a week or two. Bring a set of orders to the post office if it's over 30 days. 2) If you don't have a security system, get one! I learned that the hard way. 3) Set a timer on a lamp somewhere in the house. 4) Unplug everything else. 5) Close all the blinds 6) Set the thermostat appropriately. 6) Hire a lawncare guy to come every couple weeks if it's summertime. 7) Have someone swing by every week or so to start the car (if it's there) and check or busted pipes, and pull the religious flyers off of your front porch. 8) Get a safe, or hide your valuable stuff someplace your common thief wouldn't think to look. 9) Get as many of your bills as possible set up for online payments. Bring checks and mailing addresses for the rest of them. This has all worked pretty well for me during 2 deployments and many many TDY's.

Are you American tanker crews annoyed? Yeah, sounds like some propaganda.

It was vital to let everyone know there was going to be beef gravy and they ran out of room at the end so it made perfect sense to align it with the ice cream bar. Why do I get the sense this poster was outsourced to another country where English is not the primary language. China maybe?

Old Spice...

I believe those are used in training - just an extra warm fuzzy that they aren't going to shoot one of their buddies/instructors.

This is reminiscent of when guys started wearing the brightly colored crocs to "stick it to the man." We saw where that went. They'll have a reg defining what color reflective belts we're allowed to wear in no time.

No reason to bring them down any further than they already are...

Sorry, I was being completely sarcastic.

But remember, they are doing on one engine what the Blue Angels do with two...
