Hard to believe, but thirty years ago at about this time, I was just finishing up my fuel balance after refueling on the way to Panama.

Is it ok for a MSgt to tell a Capt to take out the garbage?
Most of my job was telling officers what to do😀 Never told one to take out the trash though.

US official: Pensacola shooting suspect was Saudi AF officer
Same thing happened to me. I punched a hole the size of a playing card in my target but there was one hole in the top right corner. Range dude said "Too bad you would've got expert". I said look at the guy next to me. Ah OK, expert. It was an SP.

B-17 crash at Bradley Intl
Article doesn't say what attitude the plane was in when it touched down. Wondering about a right closed pattern with #4 shut down and possible problems with #3. The article states on #3 "two blades appeared in a position between low pitch and feather", that's where they're supposed to be, the other blade position near feather would mean some sort of material failure.

Airlift stops
There was a period of time in the 80s where you were paid the full per diem no matter what you spent. One example I remember was New Orleans, 87ish I think. Per Diem was $75 a day. Stayed at the west bank sheraton and with the military discount and sharing a room it was $12 a night. Big bucks for a SSgt back then.

"Innocent until accused" (quoted from here) is standard.

"The commandant has reviewed the information provided by local law enforcement officials" Yep, because they always tell the truth. What are the chances, if he's found not guilty, that he'll be reinstated?

WTF? (**NSFW**)
Funny story that wasn't funny at the time. We were flying the mighty whistlin shithouse (AC-130H) out of Guam practicing for the Iran hostage rescue. Our live fire range was basically a big rock sticking up out of the water somewhere near Guam. We were shooting our regular 20mm HEI rounds down at 2500ft. Bomb dump says they have a "shitload" of tracers they need to get rid of and ask if we can shoot it. We said sure, link it up, a mixture of tracer and HEI. So we are over this rock at 2500ft and the pilot lets loose with the first burst of the tweak, immediately followed by "CEASE FIRE, CEASE FIRE!!!!. Tracers were ricocheting back toward the airplane, some of them went past us.
