Squadron Bar

Just retired and finally escaped from Edwards. Moved to Fort Walton Beach and started a job with Lockheed. Looking to pick up a small condo in Destin.

Fuck PCness! I want to thank everyone for another wonderful year of BaseOps, and hope y'all have a wonderful Christmas or whatever you celebrate this year! Hopefully 2021 will be a better year than the dumpster fire that was 2020! Be safe out there!

I'm planning a trip to Alaska in June with my dad and 10 year old son. We'd like to fish freshwater for salmon, trout, etc. We need suggestions on outfitters/guides. Ideally we'll find a lodge close to or even on the river we fish. Fly away day trips are an option, but no tent overnights. Google results are overwhelming and personal experiences are always better than anonymous reviews, so thanks in advance for your sage wisdom!

Anyone else get the DoD Dine Smart email today? “It only takes 2 minutes to enroll”...yeah, I’ll pass.

It's out! I've waited 30 years for this! https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B08R114191/ref=dvm_us_or_cs_sh_all_21C2ALA_s1_i0

I graduated in 2011, so it's been a while. But I remember going to Little Kitchen just off base on weekend mornings, occasionally being served by the same person who had entertained us the previous night at the Pony, and I thought they had some interesting decor on the walls. One of these items, located far in the back of the seating area (as far from the front door as I recall), was a framed printout of a poem. All I remember was that it was something about old soldiers no longer being so bold or no longer wanting to go to war, or something like that. Now that I'm out, it's been on my mind. Can anyone there do a little recon and post either the text or a photo of the pie…

With some of the last drops of Jeremiah weed being consumed as I write this, a bro and I have been discussing a Worldwide roll-call to finish off the very last bottles of Weed known to be in existence. If you and/or your squadron want to get in on the action, message me. More to follow on other platforms as well.

So I’m getting to the point where my kids are needing all the fun and expensive dental and orthodontic procedures. I’m AD and the dental insurance for Tricare standard is not great. Anyone have any gouge for supplemental insurance for this situation?

It's getting a bit difficult to keep up with The many new manifestations of artificial intelligence, but if you do there's a new one out for open testing that is fairly astonishing, if or nothing else than for the simplicity of producing something functional. The service is called Udio, and right now you can make a whole bunch of 30-second clips just to play around with the technology. Here is a song clip I created with my standard AI testing subject: a dinosaur that falls in love with a toaster. https://www.udio.com/songs/hveSQTSVkKQ5NnfCUx5Q2s However as I was playing around with this thing, and based on the market action over the past coupl…

Thanks to all who have spent the holiday in a far away place.

Sort of. I don't know where this would otherwise fit (sts), but its just too cool not to share. https://www.twz.com/air/f-4-phantoms-sought-by-private-space-launch-company

Today SECDEF and CJCS gave an update brief on the attack on an Iran's nuclear facilities. A comment by the chairman was epic and deserves it's own thread. "I can assure you there is no beach volleyball at the Air Force Weapons School." – General Dan “Razin” Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, June 26, 2025

Just wondering how many out there are still allowed to sing songs at Roll Call. I finding it difficult to find a song that won't offend the masses.

Looking for someone in South Dakota to check out a motorcycle for me. You don't need to know anything about them - I'm just looking more for verification that the thing is actually there. Maybe take a few pictures as well. I found an old Indian Chief that a guy inherited but he doesn't live there. Anyways there are a few fishy things in his story about where the bikes are but he does have a valid phone number, I've spoken with him several times and he is an older american. I've uncovered a half dozen scams looking for one of these things but usually it ends when I ask for their phone number. They are conveniently in Europe or want to use cashiers checks etc. I …

Esteemed Assembly: Who makes those large wall peg boards/shelves/racks/etc to hold all your mugs in the squadron bar? I'm in desperate need of one. I'm sure I can design one and build it myself, but I'm typically too drunk to do so due to the fact that there is no where to hang/store my mug with pride. Thanks for the help!

We go there pretty regularly. Anyone see OEF-P becoming a deployment? P.S. There are some great acronyms in this article. Enjoy.

Need a little help. A bud of mine was just commissioned in the Navy Reserve. There was a Simpsons episode where Homer joined the Navy Reserve that had a great commercial that went "Daybreak, Jakarta. The proud men and women of the Navy are protecting America's interests overseas, but you're in Lubbock, Texas hosing down a statue, because your in the Naval Reserve. Once you complete basic training, you only work one weekend a month, and most of that time your drunk of your ass. The Naval Reserve: America's 17th line of defense, between the Mississippi National Guard, and the American League of Women Voters." I am trying to find a video clip of the commercial from that…

Tell-all interview covers Iraq withdrawal, nuclear report, procurement and more The June 5 forced resignations of Air Force Secretary Michael W. Wynne and Chief of Staff Gen. T. Michael Moseley — the first time in U.S. history the top uniformed and civilian leaders of any service were ousted simultaneously — shocked the Air Force and highlighted deep fissures between the Pentagon and Air Force leadership. Wynne sat down July 9 for a wide-ranging discussion with Military Times editors and reporters, explaining why he was really fired, what went wrong with the nuclear enterprise, what can be done about Iraq and how he sees the future of the Air Force. The questions…

I am fairly sure there are a couple of 135 and airline guys on here but given the amount of pilots I am hoping if nothing else maybe someone knows someone or has some insite. I have received an offer to get some rightseat fixed-wing time with Lifeflight doing organ flights and medical transport. Does anyone have any insite on how good of a gig this is? They state that it is mostly on-call so I know what that is going to do for QOL but seems like some good flying when they have it. Thoughts/ Recommendations? Secondly I have applied for EG&G and while I meet all their requirements I haven't heard anything from them for about a month, is this normal? When…

Bigfoot Trackers Say They've Got a Body Wednesday, August 13, 2008 Bigfoot may have been found. Maybe. We'll see. Two Northern California men and two Georgians say they've got a body, a photo and DNA evidence pertaining to the elusive forest-dwelling man-ape — and that they'll reveal all at a press conference in Palo Alto, Calif., on Friday. "I think you'll find that this is the real deal," Robert Barrows of Redwood City, Calif., told the Bay City News local wire service. Matthew Whitton, a cop in Clayton County, Ga., and his friend Rick Dyer, a former corrections officer, say they recently found the body in the woods of northern Georgia. Veteran Bigfoot t…

This should be interesting.. Pretty excited for it.. 100 million dollar budget.. Remake of Dambusters https://www.rottentomatoes.com/news/1647453...sandquot_remake

Edited by a prominent AQ sympathiser in North Carolina, and will no doubt be a big hit with Johnny Taliban and his mates: Jihad Recollections - Issue 1 Issue 1 contains such gems as: 'Staying in Shape Without Weights' (ideal for those Mujahadeen who don't have time to visit the gym), and 'Four Practical Steps to Expand the Global Jihad' (for all those extremists who want to kill the unbelievers, but aren't quite sure how to go about it). Sounds awesome!

The 437 AW here have found the perfect way to avoid birdstrikes... Since installing this on the FREDs, birds avoid contact at all costs! Cheers! M2
