I appreciate your rage against the establishment, but why did you quote my post about T-44 drops in your post? Fail. HD

That article is great. The first paragraph claims: ------------------------------------------------------- SWEET HOME, Ore. — An Oregon woman who is out $400,000 after falling for a well-known Internet scam says she wasn't a sucker or an easy mark. ----------------------------------------------- And then you go on reading the article.... ----------------------------------------------- Janella Spears of Sweet Home says she simply became curious when she received an e-mail promising her $20.5 million if she would only help out a long-lost relative identified as J.B. Spears with a little money up front. Spears told KATU-TV about the scammers' ability to identify her relative by name was persuasive. "That's what got me to believe it," She said. "So, why wouldn't you send over $100?" Spears, who is a nursing administrator and CPR teacher, said she mortgaged the house and took a lien out on the family car, and ran through her husband's retirement account. "The retirement he was dreaming of — cruising and going around and seeing America — is pretty much gone for him right now," she said. She estimates it will take two years to clear the debt that accumulated in the more than two years she spent sending money to con artists. The scheme is often called the "Nigerian scam" and it's familiar to many people with e-mail accounts. It still exists and it still works. Spears first sent $100 through an untraceable wire service as directed by the scammers. Then, more multimillion dollar promises followed so long as she sent more money. The scammers sent Spears official-looking documents and certificates from the Bank of Nigeria and the United Nations. President Bush and FBI Director Robert Mueller were also involved, the e-mails said, and needed her help. They sent official-looking documents and certificates from the Bank of Nigeria and even from the United Nations, saying her payment was "guaranteed." But it wasn't and now Spears is paying the price for her costly lesson. "The hope is [other people] are not going to fall as hard as I fell," Spears said. ---------------------------------------- Yeah, that's not an easy mark at all. Not to mention she pissed away her husband's entire retirement account. I'm sure the husband is taking it well.

Still a ridiculous quote. Granted T-44s weren't in the higher level of demand that they are now, but it still sounds like you're basing this opinion over what you saw in your own track select. There a plenty of shitbags sent to every track. It all depends on what the people who did better are putting down first. You're entitled to your opinion. But realize that other people don't share it.

Where are you getting this info from? The way you wrote your post sounds like you're only discussing drops from the T-1 track. You do realize that the majority of C-130 drops go to Corpus right? Using the random herk that drops to T-1s as the basis to form a generalized opinion about an entire community is just plain stupid. Copy. It's all about you. If you're going to spit that rhetoric out, then you need to consider that some people don't want to C-17 life. There are people in the world who (gasp) think differently than you do. HD

Sounds like a standard C-17 crew. That's exactly what we think about when we're doing an ERO at the airfields you can't land at. HD
