You guys have a waffle iron? Lucky!

I really wish more people understood this. Back to your regularly scheduled bonus conversation.

Warrant officers. Just sayin'.

Wow. #bitch

The media sucks at aviation. Here's hoping everyone gets out OK.

A bag of his stuff (think George Carlin) or an actual bag of shit?

I tried to PM you but it didn't work. PM me your mil email and I think I can help.

I'm sure it has something to do with the ability to withstand ejection and a PLF. (See NO PARACHUTES ON HEAVIES thread, this section)

Amen

Two I have seen: Norma Stitz Tess Schtickel

Such as... Serious question. I've only ever been to them for an ORE/ORI.

What is it with the Brits and wing root mounted engines?

Good luck brother.

THAT is funny.

19 pushups in two min and a 17:30 mile and a half? For a cop? YGBSM. We are doomed.

Well then, here's to aircrew leadership and fully covered lower back tattoos.

We still in civvies off duty?

Yes. Blame the two tanker crew aircraft commanders who are at the end of their third 16+ hour day and are 12hrs and 45 min from their LFA. Their two crews are 100% in compliance with the applicable base policies. They have both safely executed 20 sorties each and still have over a month to go in their second deployment of the year so far. Somehow they are the linchpin of leadership this war needs to ensure the airman they have never fucking met is wearing the proper attire? Choke yourself troll.

Damn autocorrect.

Rainman knows the only way to stop the madness is to throw hockey at me. Works every time. On topic, it will be nice to be on civvies occasionally. I really do hope it lasts, but the cynical realist will still pack plenty of PT gear for my pending trip. Hopefully AFN will televise a little NCAA hockey to fill the void as well, but again the cynical side of me reckons it'll just be more NBA and NASCAR.

Sparky can keep his jorts and his sweet Ed Harvey shirt on. I think Jerry York's BC squad will take the Gophers in the Frozen Four.

You are rambling incoherently. I never said the host nation didn't get a vote. I never said leadership didn't get a vote. What I said was, as soon as someone does something inappropriate the policy will go away. As for your assessment of my leadership skills, you made a distinction there. You said "my" airman. My crew would be briefed on how to avoid being the reason for a base wide uniform change. My crew would operate in a safe and intelligent manner, hack the mission and make the most of being away from home. So, If I am sitting at the Fox bar with the swing shift ops staff and Services Squadron Sparky shows up with an offensive tee shirt or Mandy shows up in the daisies...I guess I'll just jump up and be a leader. "Remove those shorts Airman! That's an order!" Problem solved! Reality called, they would like you to stop by and visit sometime.

SOF, I've been doing this for a lot of years now. These big AOR bases are the Epcot Center of Air Force bullshit (I didn't make that one up, but it fits). The AF as a whole subscribes to the "one person shits their pants and we all wear diapers" philosophy. I could give a flying fuck if Yummypants shows up in daisy dukes or you show up in assless chaps. Give me my three drinks and leave me the fuck alone. My point, which you so eloquently missed, is that all it takes is one person to be "inappropriate" in either leaderships, host nations, some bible thumpers, whoevers viewpoint and the whole thing will implode. So, what were you saying again?

I give this one week. As soon as SrA Yummybritches walks out to the BRA in her ass hugging short shorts with her lower back tattoo hanging out we are right back into reflective polyester.

Well played. There were no cash machines either.
