  1. Check....but as JW eloquently stated...there is something to the notion of being a quiet humble ass kicker. Each one of you young steely eyed killers will have to look in their own mirror someday...and I for one am amazed at how grey my annual fall beard has become!
  2. Two Dogs....KIO.....don't talk to the media or write a book....technique only.....holy crap I'm ashamed and was a light grey guy....someone needs to call an IP meeting and debrief this crap or you'll wind up with more "No Easy Days"! PS...nothing from a weasel or air to air scenario in the last 22 years merits a book......on the other hand CAS and PR have at it!
  3. So a bust on the rogaine analogy.....to Neil which is the point...God Speed Dear Sir!
  4. Think he was referring to the incredible advancement in male pattern baldness treatment allowing Chief Justice Roberts to appear in public with confidence intact.....I could be wrong though?
  5. Yep....a game changer for sure....nothing about aerial warfare will ever be the same....no need for a gun....we'll be fighting at warp speed with unmanned drones.

    Got it....this one time at Band camp. Edit: irt Aerdale Edit2: Quick story. Had an 0-6 bud who was a Citadel grad. Former EASOG/CC with a long background working with Rangers early in his career. In his office was a Citadel Shako (formal Headgear). Young captain being introduced to him sees the Shako and no kidding blurts out. "Cool...you were a drum major!" Priceless....end thread hijack.

    General "Buck" Turgidson: Sir, you can't let him in here. He'll see everything. He'll see the big board!
  8. Recommendation: Keep that sight picture and attitude. It'll serve you well. I'm being serious.

    Wife drags me to NYC last Nov....wife drags me to Broadway show....80s rock theme show with shots and beers served throughout....you can have my man card(if I needed one) it was awesome! EDIT: don't give up so easy mp5....best response is "so you need a card to tell you if you're a man...interesting"
  13. For the food. Just kiddin Steve. EDIT: Best Indian Curry I ever had was whilst at a TAC Air Meet at RAF Waddington.

  21. Old school...but never found a female in a flight suit smoking hot.....except this one time (at band camp)...on a TDY....she wanted to try on my flight suit....then my gsuit....sans clothes. That was different she was a civilian.
  22. American Dodgeball Association of America "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball"
  23. As one of those crusty retired dudes, I agree 100%. There is some serious head scratching going on and quite a few phone calls and emails to AD 0-6s and above asking WTFO?
  24. Scoobs it's been years thankfully....just what experience do you have flying regionals and living on reserve pay? Pls correct me if I've forgotten how old you are/were. EDIT to clarify. Yes Gearpig that is what I meant. Flying regionals whilst also a member of AF Reserve.
