don't forget to keep your mach up and check six

As silly as the reflector belts are, I am just happy to be in civilian clothes.

The Andy Griffith Show was the greatest show of all time. Always wished I could have grown up in Mayberry. RIP

I was able to find some string in life support that looks identical to the laces. Just cut to length and burn the ends to keep from unraveling.

I keep hearing rumors that they are going to require a PT test once you reach the desert. I tried searching the reg but couldnt really find anything but is there any acclimation time allowed?

The 8th AF museum in Savannah, GA also has alot of records. Might want to check them out.

Now I use TRS (Tricare Reserve Select) but before that I had a catastrophic policy with a 10K deductable. Always figured I could recover from 10K and the policy was only $15 a month. I just paid for any medical care I needed out of pocket. You offer to pay cash then and there and the prices drop at the Doc's office. Plus there is ALWAYS active duty available for something and if on orders for more than 30 days there is regular Tricare. With TRS insurance isnt even a factor anymore. I know some guys who got rid of their reg job insurance to go with the TRS.

I met a guy who had been bumming for 20-25 years and still going. I hope to bum for around another nine years and get my full retirement then look for something else to do, maybe flying maybe not. If you live modestly within your means you dont have to worry about waiting tables or anything else.

Guard baby for 20 years and have been bumming for 17 of those. Wouldn't have it any other way. It has been feast or famine some times but since 2003 it has been getting easier and easier.

When I was a young 2 striper loadmaster I had a crusty Chief tell me "dont let these @$$holes kill you" best advice I have ever been given

I thought they only took both when they went OCONUS. Only one for stateside.

There needed to be some 40 year old Herk guy with a gut and farmers tan up there posing with a six pack of near beer.

not any trickery just a cheapo WallyWorld digital camera

For the SABC you can just answer anything and get a zero on the test and still get the certificate that says complete.
