Find some place else to stay next time…
Air Farce bases have some ‘stupid’ internet policies- Block any thing about weapons (e.g. blogs, firearms companies, NRA, etc), and this is the pop up
Your page is blocked due to a security policy that prohibits access to Category Weapons
but you’re allowed to go to Brady bunch, VPC and all the other anti-gun sites…
Don’t walk close to the compound fence at night. DAYUM those floodlights are bright… AND I got busted for smoking in a secure area! WTF???
Why is it, if you’re inside the fence, everybody walking by on the outside ‘ignores’ you??? Are they pretending we don’t exist???
Japanese econo-boxes (e.g tiny cars) have more features than most full size american cars! My tin can with roller skate wheels has automatic wipers, automatic headlights, auto dimming rearview mirror, and a rear windshield wiper…
Now if it just had THREE squirrels for power, instead of the two…
With four full sized Americans in three bags in it, it had to downshift to low gear to get up a hill. Pretty bad when the big diesel truck was pulling away from us going to up the 9% grade…
After five “days” of less than four hours of sleep, dingy (is that a word?) does not BEGIN to describe how tired we are. One guy literally went to sleep in the middle of the conversation!
Once again, truly impressed by the kids out here on the pointy end… They are good, and proud of what they are doing! And in casual conversations, many more (both male and female) are gun owners/shooters! Yea for them!
There was something elzzzZZZZZZZ
The Air Force has a load of quirks. Most of them make you question why you joined.
Wing wipers are indeed different. Get some sleep! Safe trip!
My Dad was Navy. When I wanted to join the Air Force, he’d snort and call it “The CHAIR Force”, as he said they did more sitting than flying.
In my Engineering career I’ve met people from all branches, and they’re all different, but God love ’em all anyway!
Get some sleep….sounds like you could use about 12 hours rack time…..
Not surprised by your rental. All the electronic stuff hides the mechanical shortcomings. Wonder how soon all of it will be obsolete? How corrosion resistant?
Now you are back, is there some range time in the future?
ADM- True, which is why I’m GLAD I went Navy 🙂
Keads- VERY true…
drjim- That one I hadn’t heard… 🙂
WSF- I’m still on the road but I’ll be back in a week or so. YES there is range time coming!!!
The kids on the pointy end have to know how to shoot. We taught them how to do that and they’ve been in a shooting war.
God Bless them all.
Paw- AMEN!!!
I had an Air Force Major who was really screwing up a training I was doing.
I told her at Quantico she would be running laps for me.
An E-5 said this is the Air Force, we write essays.

Gerry- I’d believe it… sigh…
Have a safe trip, and don’t let the zoomies get to you!
We always thought that the pilots, PJs, EOD and cops were the only “military” in the Air Force, the rest are too busy flying desks and making power points…
Thank-You
What was that line, “I knew when I was in Afghanistan when they actually let the Air Force guys have weapons”?
(hehehehehe(
Uncle Sam’s Air Farce knows how to treat members (current and past) of the other services. It’s payback for calling us Bus Drivers and wing walkers for all those years.
Heh, heh.
