More Uniform Changes!
Meh, with the thousand-and-one different versions of the Multicam uniform out there, I don't think anyone will notice if we just keep wearing them vs. shelling out the cash to pay for Multicam 2.0!

Tactical need for the F-35B?
Also, the amphibs are probably something the Navy would be more willing to put closer to the fight than carrier groups. Just a thought.

Cannon AFB
What're the New Mexico rules on shipping booze in your HHG shipment? I'm looking to bring some stuff from Europe, but all the sites I've found just seem to address liquor licenses. Anybody recently PCS in who has some good guidance?

Gun Talk
Anyone who has used the S&W 40% off deal know if their shotguns are included? I thought it was a discount on everything, but the note at the top of this page made it seems like it was only on handguns and rifles. Figured I'd ask here before e-mailing the S&W folks. Thanks!

Little Rock info
Found a decent cigar shop on S. University across from UALR behind Pizza Hut. Big selection and they give military a discount if you ask.

Ali Al Salem info
British style plugs, transformer for stuff that isn't dual voltage (look on the plug/back to see if it has something along the lines of Input" 100-240v). The building I'm in has 4 washers and dryers, plus I think there's a few lundry buildings. You get briefed on GO1 when you get here, buuuuuut, if you bring something don't leave it sitting out in your room and an external hard drive isn't a bad idea. The food isn't all that bad, just repetitive, and there's a Taco Bell, pizza place, etc on the rock. The BX is pretty good, small, but they carry the right stuff. Overall, not a bad place to be.

Squadron Photo Board Help
Examples of what? If you need photos of the squadron leadership the wing photo shop usually has those on record. Call them up and order either prints or mounted on backing. Take their name down tho, as orders tend to be lost from time to time, but if you wrote down that SrA Joebob recieved your order on such and such a date, it usually turns up.

Whats the funniest thing you've heard over the radio?
T-6 cross country and we had a group of 4 coming into SDF during their big UPS push requesting multiple instrument approaches each. Controller is starting to get edgy and tells us we probably won't get more than one to a full stop. First two guys get their wish for a second approach when our number three dude makes his request... "Louisville Approach, Ball XX, request ILS 17L, FU(K! 35R" Controller grants his request amid much laughter in background. We call up next and are told to expect the full stop. Once we're up on ground freq they give us a phone number to call, and we're expecting to get bitched out. Turns out it was their SUP apologizing for not being able to accommodate our request and next time if we come between this time and that time we could have as many approaches as needed. Overall cool bunch of guys there! Much consumed downtown that night too!
