An even easier way to fix this problem is to lock the damn cash container. Get a normal metal locking money container (from staples, etc) and throw a lock on there that only the snacko has. Now people can put money in, but it's not coming out without the snacko. Problem solved. Also, the hack sheet on the fridge or whatever is a great idea and makes it convenient for everyone.
We had someone steal the entire lock box. So, that didn't work.

When I was snacko, we kept losing money from our snack bar. I noticed that every Thursday morning we were light. The cleaners came thru every Wednesday night, gee I wonder where the money is going. I made some signs that said this area is under video surveillance (because the boss was nervous) and set up the squadron video camera the next Wednesday. Thursday morning, the fund was light again and the video nailed the cleaner. We gave the tape to SPs and the same cleaner wasn't cleaning the next week.
We pretty much do most formation debrief in the bar over a few beers. If you screwed something up, you owe a round. Make the bar everyday user friendly. We have a computer with a power point hog-log running on a plasma behind the bar. You add pics from your most recent TDYs/deployments- it's usually funny stuff and keeps folks laughing.
We used to have a quarterly party with different sponsors. Pilots take a quarter, loads take the next, support has a quarter, and leadership has the last. Maybe a burger burn, shrimp and crawdads, brisket, etc. Each section pays for the party food but the bar keeps the profits on beer and anything above cost.
You want to sell items with a great profit margin, that means buying cheap or in bulk. A drink that cost $.25 to buy and you sell for $.50 is better than the shirt you buy for $12 and sell for $15. You'll also sell many more drinks than shirts. When you order merch, keep in mind you'll only sell so many shirts, hats and coins to squadron members, so don't tie up too much capital with a gigantic order that you won't sell out of until 2012.

considering that Alabama has won 12 indisputable national championships compared to the farm school's meager one championship.
Here's the truth about bama's NCs:
That 'TWELVE' national championships is fraudulent, nothing but pure bunk ginned up by the SID Department. Here's a rundown:1925 National Championship- Alabama claims they share this one with Dartmouth. Who awarded the NC? Houlgate and Helms. Houlgate started his system in 1927. So Bama won their 1925 NC using a formula that didn't exist until 1927? Helms Athletic Foundation started in 1941. Another incredible retroactive NC.
The Associated Press Poll has been active since 1936. The AP took their final poll prior to bowl games from 1936 - 1964 and in 1966 and 1967. They took their final poll after the bowl games in 1965 and from 1968 - Current.
1926 National Championship- Alabama claims they share this one with 3 other teams with equal or better records! Once again it is the Helms Athletic Foundation in 1941 that awards it!
1930 National Championship- The Davis poll says that Bama tied Notre Dame for NC this year. This was the only one to award it to Bama. Notre Dame was named NC in 6 polls! Parke Davis is another retroactive system! He (an individual, not an organization) did his in 1933!
1934 National Championship- Alabama says they share this with two other teams. The awarders are Dunkel, Williamson, and Football Thesaurus. Dunkel was an individual who came up with his own system. Williamson was a geologist who came up with his own system. Football Thesaurus first appeared in 1946!
1941 National Championship- This is a complete joke. The AP ranked Alabama 20th in the nation with 14 teams with better records in the top 20. Once again it is the Football Thesaurus that retroactively awards it. Alabama finished 3rd in the SEC that year. Mississippi State won the SEC title..yet Bama claims a National title!
1961 National Championship- Finally a legitimate NC.
1964 National Championship- While the AP did award the NC to Bama (10-1-0), Arkansas had the better record, 11-0. Alabama played Texas in their bowl and LOST. The AP final poll was before the bowl.
1965 National Championship- The AP gave this to Bama. That year there were three teams with better records than Bama. Bama 9-1-1, Michigan St 10-1-0, Arkansas 10-1-0, Nebraska 10-1-0.
1973 National Championship- AP puts Bama 4th after their bowl game loss. Bama claims a NC from the UPI poll that was taken before they met Notre Dame in the bowl game and lost. There were 3 teams with better records than Bama that year. The embarrassment of naming Alabama number one caused the UPI to name champions after bowl games. Yet Bammer has no shame in claiming it of course.
1978 National Championship- AP gives this to Alabama(11-1-0) even though USC (12-1-0) had the better record Guess who Alabama lost to that year? USC!!!!!!!!!. UPI gave the NC to USC.
1979 National Championship- Their second legitimate NC. Their first Unanimous NC.
1992 National Championship- Their third legitimate NC. Their second Unanimous NC.
You can see why people ridicule Bama fans when they talk about 12 NCs. The early ones were awarded by individuals years after the games were played. These weren't consensus polls but NCs awarded by people that had their own formula for determining champions. Some NCs where given before bowl games that Bama lost. Using Alabama logic, Auburn could claim four national championships. But when Bammers brag they like to say they have twelve and Auburn has one. How silly. The NCAA recognizes 6 NCs for Bama and there are only two NCs that Bama has unanimously. You can't find an Auburn site claiming four national championships but there are plenty Bama sites claiming twelve. Debunking the Alabama National Championship myths.
At the same time, Auburn could claim at 5 national titles using the Bammer methods.
1913- Auburn went 8-0 and claimed the NC in the Billingsley Poll.
1957-AP national Champions.
1983-Auburn went 11-1, played the nation's toughest schedule, and won the national title in The New York Times, Sagarin, Billingsley, Rothman and College Football Researchers Association
1993-Auburn went 11-0 and won the national title by the National Championship Foundation .
2004- Auburn became only the second team in SEC history to go 13-0. Auburn even beat SEC East champion Tennessee twice. Auburn was awarded the national title by the first People's National Championship Poll, Golf Digest, and The Eufaula Times.
AUBURN only claims the 1957 national title. HOWEVER..IF Alabama can claim some of the ones that they claim, we have ever right to claim the ones above.
Bama...legends in their own minds!!
Bama almost won another national championship recently. But this one was for US counties with the highest cancer risk- 12th out of 3,223 counties. There is always next year.
Around the same time that the suck in tuscaloosa came in 12th, Auburn was voted #2 for best places to live in the US by US News and World report.
You bama fans better hope for a 9 win season or you'll finish the decade less than .500.
Keep that bama pride rolling...

Do fighter pilots carry a sidearm or any other defense mechanism for if they are shot down/crash?
see previous m9 comment.
-
Yes, as aircrew, you'll maintain qualification on the M9. The qual frequency depends on your arming group. You'll also carry an M9 on flights in theater. If you fly aircraft capable of flying passengers, you might conceal carry depending on the situation for anti-hijack.
I don't know of anyone checking out a rifle and shooting for practice with the air force. It doesn't mean it doesn't happen, though. I'd rather shoot on my own time.

The PA-48 looks pretty bad ass. Now if they could find a way to make the turbine sound like a Merlin, I say buy 'em.
The Merlin is definitely the coolest sounding engine ever built.

Vertigo- you should be punished for posting that crap.

she made him walk the plank.

I will await your TIP example that comes within .01% of worthiness...if even that.
This one time at TIB camp, all their blue sequins and glitter got melted together. They had to find a convertible VW bug to drive to the local Faggots-R-us to replace them. Do you know what a logistical challenge that was?

Nice 1st post USAFPilot. Welcome to the forum.

Saw it before the edit....

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but the last time I read what the AF Mission was, it was to " fly and fight." No where in that statement do I read any need/reason to "deliver 2nd rate entertainment options..". Then again, as was pointed out in an earlier comment, TIB is an "expeditionary entertainment unit". That must be where they hook into the fly and fight thing..
BTW - tell these two airmen in this story that TIB is more important to accomplishing the mission than anything else.
2nd rate? Juan wishes. TIB is forced crap entertainment, it barely ranks above the BX shelf check that you've done for the last 42 days.
-
Juan,
Thanks for illustrating the shoe-iness of the Air Force in one post. You have educated many young-uns to the interworkings of a shoe's brain. Because I had to read your post, see your ridiculous picture and the picture of TIB from 1992, 4 kittens will suffer at my hands. It is because of you kittens are punished.
-
I would have made them pay me. O clubs suck and they continue their downward spiral doing shit like this. It will never be fixed until crewdogs run the Air Force again.

Ewa Sonnet. Happy googling.
Edit- with a short search, you can find the entire clip from my avatar.

I just think it would be better served if the hand belonged to another hot chick. Then they could switch!
Okay, I see your point.
-
Dude, there's a dude in your avatar. Unacceptable.
Agree to disagree on that one. I find Saint's avatar acceptable.

Keeping this civil, what happened to Tommy? Seemed like he was doing an okay job, not great but not terrible, went undefeated a few years back...
I hated to see him go. I imagine he'll be a head coach at a major program before too long. He was a classy guy who ran a clean program.

Very, very nice! I've come to realize academics aren't so important down here. I'm sure if N'western, Mich, Penn St, and Purdue lowered their standards they could get some better players, but they realize that they are students first and footballers second. Also I only remember OSU choking in 1 bowl game vs Florida, a huge choke by a team that obviously did not show up to play. LSU was a better team and won outright, although OSU made major mistakes, and Texas was "supposed" to be in the NC game and an "undeserving" OSU team had the lead with 1min to go in the game, yeah I guess that is choking.
I'll define choking a little better: Florida: year after winning the NC losing to a rather mediocre Michigan team in a bowl game the next year, with a heisman. AND keep in mind how many pros OSU has put out in the past 5-10yrs, only schools that rank with us are USC and Miami. AND there are 3 schools that bring in the most $$, they are Mich, OSU and ND(practically in the big10). I think the Big10 is doing just fine. I will NEVER jump on the sec bandwagon like so many have. Where were all these florida fans during the Zook years???
Whatever makes you feel better.....0-9. (i keed, i keed. Don't take it so personal. It's good natured, and what's the point of football if you can't talk about it without someone crying?)

It was assumed earlier that she was to be hot to make up for the retardation of the email.
Assumed hotness is dangerous, especially via email. A sexy voice on voicemail or the radio, you can assume hotness and fail. We're gonna need a pic to establish hotness, I believe it's a Baseops rule.
I'm guessing this is her until I hear otherwise.
That was actually one of my originals, not the usual cut and paste. I can assure you that it's not her.
-
Where are the pics of her?
Yeah, who established said hotness?

Ugh. Ole Miss? Really? Their fans are the biggest bunch of fratastic losers ever. Nobody celebrates mediocrity like Ole' Miss fans.
Some NY Times writer described Ole' Miss Tailgating best:
"It is pimento cheese sandwiches and silver trays, candelabra and fried chicken tenders, button-down shirts, rep ties and khaki shorts..."
If this sounds like a good time, have at it.
Have you been to the Grove on gameday? Talk about talent. Ole Miss has some of the hottest women in the SEC and I believe Playboy even cited that fact in an article. Good scenery makes mediocre football tolerable and shouldn't be missed. Oxford also was also pretty fun for the post game bar scene. I'm just saying, when in Rome....
Can we start making predictions now? 'cause I expect Ole Miss might even end up in ATL in December, if nutt doesn't choke. Florida will beat them in a "closer than expected" game. Florida will end up destroying some weak-ass Big 10 or Big 12 team in the BCS championship.
My Auburn Tigers will suprise a team or two and finish 8-4 or 7-5.

I'm going to say big losers or stupid?
Maybe boring loquacious old shits?
or beyond line of sight?
I don't get playing pretend football, someone explain it to me.
