afnav Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Now THIS is the type of thread that keeps me coming back to the forum... Beats the shit out of the political pissing match of the week and the latest "why the AF failed me" whine fest... Please keep it up Gents... By the way, if you haven't already, I hope you get some of these memories in writing before they get too fuzzy... 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-21.Pilot Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Because he is a Hog driver? Pleeeeese..... Just like Welsh is gonna deliver us to the promise land. Trust me, I honestly hope I can eat my words in a few months/years, etc. Edited September 18, 2012 by C-21.Pilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweet I'm SOF Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Not sure what Bagram looked like before the war. But I'd be remiss to a lot of good men if I didn't point out that there was a time that they were working out of Bagram before the first C-17 or A-10 landed. Bagram was a challenge for a number of reasons during this period. But they got it under control. And then came the C-17s, and A-10s, and the chiefs...

They are not shoe clerks and they are not afraid to say what needs to be said. Like I said, all hope is lost if it doesn't work with those two. Not sure what Bagram looked like before the war.

If so we probably know one another because there were not too many USAF folks around at that time...and many of them were ARC people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, once they say the "wrong" thing, they will be ousted, or, like all "good leaders before them", will perform a conformity check and become the "yes" men you claim they won't become. Only time will tell. Agree with the "all hope is lost"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was gone before the first A-10 landed there. I was there when the first C-17 landed, it had a VIP on it, and they landed during daylight hours. Although there were far more violent objectives during that period from late Sep to mid Dec, Bagram was one of the roughest to stomach early on. Everything that happened there the first few days just stayed that way for a few weeks. That was not a good experience for the senses.

Sorry, I have no idea what you are trying to say. FWIW, I was also there during the shit burning pre A-10 days and we had plenty of VIPs show up for a stay at our little bed and breakfast house of horrors. Best I can decipher we probably had overlap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
