I've seen the image (wasn't photoshopped) of a tanker refueling a tanker...that's refueling an F-15 anyone seen that image?

Yes...but we'll still bitch about it anyway Carry on!

If he's humble and honestly trying to help out the bros, then my hat's off to him. If he's just trying to pad his promotion packet, well, so be it. Lucky guy...we only got 3 minute showers YGBFSM!

As it was not labeled FOUO, it is in the public domain and is required to be accessible to all Americans under the Freedom of Information Act (think about that next time you send an e-mail). followed by: Don't criticize language usage when you can't get it right yourself. Again with the grammar. Isn't the PAF the Pakistani AF? As to the comment, funny, I thought we were respected because we kick ass and take names, but we don't abuse other countries for no reason. Clearly I've been misinformed. I guess North Korea's Air Force is a better example of a "Premier Air Force" because they adhere to standards or die. Then it behooves us to see to it that we correct it... ...well, those of us that don't get RIF'd

Damn. :beer: :beer: I know quite a few guys in that squadron.

I question the legality of it as well...

I'd submit that they just deny all late-raters. Found out that 4 of us who were late-rated got RIF'd. Apparently improving your value to the AF is frowned upon unless you are brand new.

alternative: place this picture and quote right next to the poster.

Good thing the guy here is a "100%" -type! I would assume, by this poster-logic, that everyone who gets a 75 will take a nap in the middle of a firefight for 15 seconds of every minute. Tear down that poster NOW! This is NOT the behavior we should encourage. Don't forget that these people also have a MASSIVE superiority complex and everyone is inferior to them...they are also usually single and can't figure out why...

A salute is a sign of respect (or at least it is supposed to be). Assume the kid is saluting you out of respect and just return the salute. Look at it this way, if a Wal-Mart employee says "Sir, thank you so much for shopping here at Wal-Mart," a courteous "You're welcome" isn't obtrusive or inappropriate. Walking off in a huff without acknowleding their existence without even so much as an "uh-huh" isn't really polite.

Where's my "sarcasm" button...

Time to file a FOIA request...

Seemed to be more of a causal factor from this layman's perspective (I'm not a safety guy)

Ops are such a small portion of what goes on at a base. Surely there are more important things

I truly wonder if cockpit/aircrew equipment design was even considered

Acknowledged before the post...

I heard these guys got Article 15s and were sent home... ...and they appreciated it...

OK, NOT A-A, but still cool.

Nothing...just urban legends... This was the rough draft We later changed it to read "Militant EW Union Local 23" Here's the 5 BW patch:

What's the unrefueled range of a fighter? What's the range of a Bear? The delta there just might be a hint. Mr Subtle...

hell, I've got nothing to lose. If the policy's still in effect, I'll happily drop off an IG complaint!
