Guest Form 8 Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 GUYS, GUYS, guess what? I just came up with a great idea! Lets have an airshow at the Deid (base personnel only) so we can introduce all the aircraft to the shoeclerks who have no idea about our mission (just kidding guys, insert sarcasm now). I am willing to bet 100% the Wing king would do it. This is a great idea because it could possibly mean keeping some guys from having a day off after working 3-4 weeks straight. It would even rock more if it meant one of our spare lines couldn't hack the mish because it was busy pulling static duty. I hope the Wing King doesn't read this because I'm seriously afraid he would make it happen . I bet your ass I'd be the one out there on the static bird too. Any volunteers? Here's to you Wing King Do I sound bitter, pissed, angry, ready to feel like an adult again? YES When I was there last year they had a "MWS Week" where they'd go and show an aircraft/brief by the aircrew to anyone who was interested.
capt4fans Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 When I was there last year they had a "MWS Week" where they'd go and show an aircraft/brief by the aircrew to anyone who was interested. And the OG was having the crews brief about their MWS as well. The best part about the whole thing was the current OG, whose last name might rhyme with Knot, actually sent an email to the AC who was there for the brief telling them just how wonderful a job they did. Bottom line, the OG wasn't at the brief and there wasn't anyone else at the brief either. Talk about clueless.

Bottom line, the OG wasn't at the brief and there wasn't anyone else at the brief either. Talk about clueless. Speaking of MWS briefs... Said OG took a bunch of high ranking guests out to one of our jets not too long ago. Said OG starts talking about how great the jet is (though said OG has never flown it). Then said OG attempts to speak about weapons intelligently (though said OG has never dropped any). Then said OG tells the guests how this Ops Group is so great because of all the weapons we deliver in combat, etc... Then one of the guests asked said OG, "So what kind of weapon is this?" as he pointed to a GBU-31. Apparently, said OG had no clue and just stared at the guy like he had a d!ck growing out of his forehead! A few seconds later said OG replied, "It's a GBU-38, I think?" The crew chief was there listening to all of it and, like any crew chief worth his money, corrected her on the spot. Good on you chief!

tac airlifter Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 I was the standing IP on her fini flight at LRF. 3 hours into the flight while doing a touch and go she called "Reject, we've lost our left hand DC bus!" For those of you qualified on the H3, you'll know that the LH DC light has been illuminated for years because we don't have the hardware that it powers (except you guard dudes). Anyway, its a well known fact and written up in the forms of every tail. So we rejected at 95 knots just prior to rotate because she at that moment noticed the light that had been on the whole time every time she's ever flown, and she had no idea what it was. She was one of the most incompetent pilots I have ever flown with, and certainly the most incompetent for her qual/grade.

afnav Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 For those of you coming out here, you'll love Right Start. "Sir, you have to move all the way down the aisle. We can't have any blank spaces." I guess they need everyone crammed together for weight and balance for the theater. "If you don't have your LES, and you come to finance with a problem, we will not help you." Okay, I'll bring my LES when I come to finance with a problem with you. I'll bring a knife, too. "If you wish to initiate anything with anyone here, you must have verbal consent. Written is better." Instant flashback to Chappelle's "Love Contract" sketch. "We need you to wear your PT gear for force protection, so we can tell you from the bad guys. The foreigners (Brits, Aussies, French) are on their own." Yeah, like terrorists have never dressed in the uniforms of the people they are attacking in this part of the world. Someone tell Sadat they do that sometimes. Oh, my bad. "You can rest assured, ladies and gentlemen, ..." Nails on a chalkboard. Lay off the Red Bull, Mikey. I read a post about the redeploying Right Start brief. It is true. It's called Right Finish, and you will not be allowed to outprocess the base without it. One week down, 51 to go.
Guest Form 8 Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 Other bases in the AOR have Right Finish also. It's where I get to watch a movie about the current AEF's there and how they went off base.
FlyinGrunt Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 mambo, I assume you're talking about the LIT VOR-A? This is a story I wanna hear . . .

You know I can remember a day when I just walked up and said, "I'm going home, is that cool?" Yeah and it just happened. Shit has changed in the last few years. The Deid is gay as a bag of smashed assholes. I hate it, you hate it, we all hate it. Fnck it drive on!!!!!!!!!! Coot

Coot Now there's another good one for my bag of sarcasms! I'm off to Bagram in two weeks! Edited April 26, 2009 by amcflyboy
capt4fans Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 OK, back on topic...........the Deid sucks. And if you're an operator (read aircrew) and sit through Right Exit, then you're as gay as that base too.
stract Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Now there's another good one for my bag of sarcasms! I'm off to Bagram in two weeks! at least Bagram calls it Combat Orientation and Combat Finish. And you don't have to wear a reflective belt in PT gear. Unless the new Wing King there has made some drastic changes, Bagram is the least Big Blue-feeling place of the deployed locations I've been to, considering there's a Wing there. The CCC is a great dude.
cragspider Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I know that they have had other wieght lifting comps before but this is just utterly retarted.
Vandal Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Wow. Is this a new thing there? Oh. My. Fucking. God.
afnav Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Wow. Is this a new thing there? Apparently so. The guys in the office next door took an office call the other day to the pool trying to catch those chicks doing some last-minute baking before this thing started. Have no illusions that this is the norm out here. Pretty much every night of the week, especially Friday and Saturday, 75% of the crowd is on their computers chatting or WOW'ing under the BRA, with senior NCOs in twos and threes patrolling the perimeter. These hulking 'ubermenche' are an extremely small minority. It's a far cry from the day when I deployed regularly where the mission on the weekends was to get in the pants of the opposite sex. God, I feel old.
Guest Form 8 Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 I guess a requirement is at least one shitty tattoo to enter the contest.
FourFans Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Come on people! These people are obviously extremely busy supporting the the GWO...er...overseas contingency operations. If you don't have enough time to get to the gym as much as they did while you're over there, clearly your mission focus if off! Kill Me. FF
tac airlifter Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 That is by far the gayest thing I have seen from the died.
capt4fans Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) That is by far the gayest thing I have seen from the died. I thought our Butch OG was the gayest thing I ever saw at the Deid....or maybe it was the woman in comfortable shoes who was the host nation escort for aircrew. Edited May 2, 2009 by capt4fans
Clayton Bigsby Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 the thing I've never understood about body building, besides the obvious posing thong/singlet and tanning creme... ...is not the hours put in the gym, but the serious timing of meals. A buddy of mine was into this stuff, and it was impossible to go anywhere with him - literally he set a watch alarm to go off every couple hours, to alert him it was time to eat something specific. Going to baseball/football games and movies were impossible, unless he could figure out a way to smuggle the food in. He couldn't go to a restaurant/bar. Etc. I know lots of people go into the AOR and have a surplus of off time, and fill it with being in the gym. But this nonsense definitely stretches that, as it represents MANY hours invested beyond even the gym. And all so some other same-sex person can comment on your body. Pretty if you ask me.
