  1. A simple Google search and you get this. https://monitoringtimes.com/militarycallsignlist-apr09.pdf
  2. Baseops has a resident expert on topics like this. Send Scoobs a PM. He will set you on the right path.
  3. They will be there on sept 26th at 3 pm.
  4. The E's should always buy the first round. The first 6 rounds come out of the cooler that I bring with me on every TDY. That first round is handed out in the "U drive it" while we drive around for 4 hours because the Nav can't find the hotel. The AC should always buy the first round at the bar/restaurant.
  5. This ain't no shit. I've been around the Herc my entire life. My dad started flying 130s in 1976. He was a career officer and served for 28 years. He was the commander of the 39th while the squadron was at Pope and later served as the Commandant of CADS as it stood up in the mid 90s. I've seen the Herc in good times and bad. I was in the crowd on July 1st, 1987 when one crashed performing a LAPES airdrop at Fort Bragg. I also witnessed green ramp during some of its busiest years. I've seen the Herc do it all. I'm now in the Arkansas Guard. I've got 4000 hours in Es and Hs and teach here in the FTU. The Herc has taken me to 30 countries and 46 states in just over 11 years. She's never failed me and she never failed my dad. Happy B day to the War Horse and thanks for the memories. Except for the hangovers. Those have sucked.
  6. My guess is there was a security forces guy out playing the bad guy for the exercise. Somebody saw him and called it in. The same security forces guy got all suited up and went looking for himself.
  7. Try Little Rock. It's light out from around 0630 to 2100 this time of year. I recommend Buffalo Wild Wings but if you are feeling adventurous, go with The Flying Saucer downtown. It's a great time fighting over the one hot chick that you'll find down there.
  8. And that is what people vote for.
  9. Good lord. Do they have a good price on tampons? You need some.
  10. I am not in the unit but I am stationed at Little Rock. The reserve unit (22AF Det 1) is being renamed the 913 AG. They are currently flying the H model. I would imagine, most of the current folks would crosstrain.
  11. Pics of this NCO will help in determining any possible issues.
  12. The taller tapping of vans is true. Not only did they have to be taller tapped, you couldn't mix blue ops vans with green mx vans. That was at Ramstein. We also had to have the ropes on the aircraft chocks crossed in a bowtie fashion and the power cord running to the aircraft had to be in a straight line to the aircraft. It couldn't have a bend in it or any slack at all.
  13. Little Rock? The Guard has a future here. The Reserves keep changing direction...
  14. Would you consider it tacky and distasteful if somebody was taking selfies and laughing like that at one of your family members funeral/memorial? I damn sure would. This is the President of the United States on the world's stage. That narcissistic fuck doesn't know any better. I guess you don't learn manners being a community organizer in a shit hole like Chicago.
  15. No. We don't wear a flight suit or boots either. The best part about being a technician is growing my hair and beard out. Not saluting is good too.
  16. What do you call a black pilot? A pilot, you racist
  17. Terrible news. My thoughts go out to the families. This article is a great example of what I absolutely hate about the media. The very last paragraph and the parting shot is about another P-51 crash from a couple years ago. You all better be constantly looking to the sky. Apparently, it is raining P-51s. These ass clowns in the media take every single chance they get to put a negative spin on everything they report on. I guess that is what sells.
  18. Sad news from President Obama's home town.
  19. Connecticut is standing up soon too. We have a couple crews taking their first two airplanes to them next week.
  20. The gov furloughed me. I am not stepping foot on that base on my furlough day. Fuck em. Unless its to get beer.
  21. Gotta give props to the AFE guys. Everytime I hear of guys getting out safe, I stop and thank the guys in our squadron. They don't get enough credit.
  22. Sorry, you've got to share an article with proof. An article with "may" in the title isn't going to cut it.
  23. So you know for a fact that being homosexual isn't a choice? I haven't seen that "mythology" proven yet. Did you miss the recruit story above?
