General Scandinavian military thread now? Interesting debate about "castrating" the lion on a Swedish military crest--afaik they've since gone back to the original version: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/29/heraldic_lion_rumpus/- Norwegians in Afghanistan--till Valhalla

They do have the police/radio/air scanners at the station so they can immediately hear about incidents.- Greg Mortenson ("Three Cups of Tea" writer) might be a BSer
Yeah, a lot of it isn't making sense. Not like the whole thing is a sham, nor does it look like he's getting a shit-ton of money out of embellishment.- Greg Mortenson ("Three Cups of Tea" writer) might be a BSer

I guess I'm kind of indifferent. For you old guys out there, why was it changed back to 21 in the first place?- Air Force Intel Officers here?
Are you interviewing on the civilian side, reserve unit,....?- The Yemen Situation
Look where they sit geographically though. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll get into a turf war with Somali pirates.- O-8 loses command for using clout to help son
I'm sure Jr.'s current squadron is loving the press.- Two USAF Airmen soldiers shot dead at Frankfurt airport
Agreed. Nor is it at all necessary in my experience. I'm curious what the usual security is around a busload of American military personnel like this in Germany.

OK I'll be Buzz Killington and wonder aloud why the "General" was wearing birds on his shoulders. That said, good stuff. - NY Power Company Charges War Hero Flag Fee
