March 18, 200718 yr I would like to see people in the military who worry more about getting the mission done than hunting down people who aren't wearing their PT gear properly or not wear a reflective belt. Especially in the Desert.
March 19, 200718 yr No more wars run by political figures forcing limited war. Ya know let the military do it's job.
March 20, 200718 yr - PT gear that doesn't "swish" - Navigators - armed pilots on combat/ overseas sorties - mirrored sunglasses (I can have a stache way out of regs but get busted for aviators?)
March 21, 200718 yr Leading from the front. Commanders who are badasses. "Decentralized execution" Leadership that cares more about killing the enemy than getting the next promotion.
March 21, 200718 yr How about going to finance and getting your TDY per diem/pay up front in cash again, rather than paying for it yourself and then having to deal with them f$cking up your voucher when you come back, finally getting the money 2-3 weeks after you return. Wasn't around when they used to do this, but I heard it was "better" this way.

Wasn't around when they used to do this, but I heard it was "better" this way. I do remember this and it was alot better having cash in hand and not having to worry about whether or not you could use your GTC someplace. Of course there is a down side to this, as I found out on my first TDY to Vegas. We drove there from Mt. Home and some of the guys lost all their per diem at the first town we hit in Nevada. ...I'd like to see them bring back smoking/dipping in the office, and Chief's that bring a keg to work on a Friday night for the troops.
March 22, 200718 yr ...I'd like to see them bring back smoking/dipping in the office, and Chief's that bring a keg to work on a Friday night for the troops. I've been on a in P'cola for training, but this is a no-go?
March 22, 200718 yr I'd like to see them bring back smoking/dipping in the office Glad I don't work in your office! HD
March 22, 200718 yr ..I'd like to see them bring back smoking/dipping in the office, and Chief's that bring a keg to work on a Friday night for the troops. Glad I don't work in your office! HD Half my office dips....mostly O's!
March 22, 200718 yr I’d like to bring back a bit of the good old days….you know, when the British still held Hong Kong and the USAF still held Frankfurt. Ahhh….Frankfurt….good times! You could walk into ops and get a cold beer for a $1.
March 22, 200718 yr Half my office dips....mostly O's! You missed my point. You said you wish dipping in the office was back. That implies that you aren't allowed to dip in your office. I was saying that sucks. Not that regs ever stopped me from dipping wherever I wanted to anyway. HD

Not that regs ever stopped me from dipping wherever I wanted to anyway. HD Yup, point missed. Sorry bout that. I wouldn't say that it isn't allowed, just that I don't want the hassle from some of the senior NCO's about dipping in the office.
March 23, 200718 yr Yup, point missed. Sorry bout that. I wouldn't say that it isn't allowed, just that I don't want the hassle from some of the senior NCO's about dipping in the office. Then that calls for a good old fashioned "eat my ass"
March 23, 200718 yr Back when I was a cop, I had a guy who liked to dip in the patrol car...I asked him not to becasue I thought it was gross...but he just kept doing it....so I had to think about it in the most immature way I could. I found some dog crap, took a stick and mixed it into his little styrofoam spit cup, so it was dip and shit...I have to say it was one of the funniest things ever to watch as it took about 15 minutes to realize what happened to him.

Isn't that asking for an ass-kicking?
March 24, 200718 yr Only if they can kick your ass. Kinda like public speaking, you gotta know your audience.
March 24, 200718 yr - Navigators Yeah - the Air Force has those - armed pilots on combat/ overseas sorties Those too. Even armed non-pilots (gasp!)
March 25, 200718 yr Yeah - the Air Force has those Those too. Even armed non-pilots (gasp!) Of course the Air Force has Navigators, but they're being squeezed out, and fast. Armed on overseas/ combat sorties? Great. Good for you. I'm not, along with many other airframes. Even if you check out a weapon - doesn't mean you can carry it.

March 25, 200718 yr I'm not, along with many other airframes. Even if you check out a weapon - doesn't mean you can carry it. So you can't carry a weapon on combat sorties? That's effing retarded. What other airframes fly unarmed?
March 25, 200718 yr I second that! Cops (at least back a few years ago) were known for their particulary harsh tricks and practical jokes played on each other. I talk to my old buddies and apparently even they (new cops) are getting girly now and people get all upset when they end up naked in a Montana field, covered in fire truck foam, crying because they thought they were contaminated with hazerdous waste. A little dog crap mixed into your nasty ass spit cup that you did not notice until you were holding it up against your lips for about 15 minutes...shit man, I still laugh when I think about that. As do everyone else who was there..even the poor dipper after he cooled off and had a few beers. Anyway, in the spirit of the thread, bring back practical jokes that can make people cry...and the constant fear you may be next. And no real fear of someone crying about it and trying to get people in trouble. Pretty much, the good old days in about a hundred different ways.
March 25, 200718 yr So you can't carry a weapon on combat sorties? That's effing retarded. What other airframes fly unarmed? I still don't understand Fozzy's statement there. I have never flown a combat sortie unarmed. HD Edited March 25, 200718 yr by HerkDerka
