Mike, we must have been in at the same time - '86 to '94 for me as an EW troop on RJ's. Got issued the same green fatigues and subsequent chocolate-chip BDU's for Desert Shield in Aug. '90. Also got out as a buck sergeant. Amazing to read the "reflective belt" thread to compare and contrast it to the philosophy back then. Edited to add "compare" as some things, negative as they may be, never change. Still not sure why my AFSC changed 3x in 8 yrs., but not my job title or description.

Hey Prosuper, we may have crossed paths. I was an EW troop on the RC's at Offutt from '87 - '94. If you were there at that time, let me know....

Just curious if you'd be so enthusiastic in your views of the filibuster if the Republicans had the majority? It may be "undemocratic" but it certainly isn't "un-republic".

Good article and amazing accomplishment! I was an EW tech. thrown into the datalink operator role at Osan. Enjoyed working the mission with the U-2 pilots, a good bunch of men and women.

True enough. Although they may as well have some nerd fun with it vs. letting it orbit endlessly.

Couldn't play the youtube clip at work, but ass/u/ming you were referencing "Stripes", they were Czechoslovakian. Close enough, and agree a great movie.

The company I work for (ATK) outfitted the Cessna's with their ISR suite and hellfires. I'll insert a "read more about it here" link when I get it to work. ATK is delivering 3 more such-outfitted Cessna's, with the addition of a MWS, by the end of the year.

Other than it was 14 year old girl, according to the latest news reports, nothing much else to discuss.

D'oh! My bad. Posted before thinking. Now that I've been appropriately pecker schwacked, carry on.

"Aiko is still a virgin, AND NO I do not sleep with her," he writes on the Project Aiko Web site, though he admits that she "has sensors in her body including her private parts, and yes even down there." Dude doesn't even get robot laid. NERD!

She was merely finding a proactive solution to Obama's gun control proposals. A real hard-charger there!

F-35 beginning expanded flight testing at Edwards: http://www.compositesworld.com/news/f-35a-...ht-testing.aspx

Not really. They use Senior, Have, Pave, Pacer, Compass, Quick and others. The navy has a set assigned to them as well. http://www.designation-systems.net/usmilav/codenames.html

Textbook poser response (as was stated previously).

Hey Huggy, I see they've updated the cockpit somewhat since I was a maintainer at Osan '92-'93. Very cool shot!

I have no idea if they adopted that nickname from the 87th FIS. However, the -106 unit did not have the "Raging" moniker in their nickname. They were simply known as "The Red Bulls". By all means, check it out here: http://www.f-106deltadart.com/87fis.htm

I second the F-106. Grew up a military brat watching it fly at K.I. Sawyer. Old man was a fire control technician on the "6" and now retired chief. The aircraft markings in your pic are of the 87th FIS (Red Bulls) at K.I. Sawyer.
