Nanook Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Why would you say Wurtsmith over KI, or even Kincheloe? Better sledding, better ladies (NMU and LSSU), cheep living, better hunting and fishing, better bars in da UP, eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jimmy Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) Visiting the UP is one thing, but living is another. Not to mention a lot of Yoopers see themselves as Canadians more than anything else... I used to fly up to Iron Mountain in the mornings, spend the day there on crew rest and then fly to Lansing, but while I was there, I can affirm that a Wal*Mart in IM probably had the least good looking, dare I say ugliest women I have ever seen in my life. I don't know what kind of inbreeding has to go on for women to look that ugly. Seriously. Not to say all yooper chicks are hideous. It's completely possible to hook up with some nice looking ladies in the UP, but they're probably tourists. Edited April 8, 2007 by Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanook Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I was just comparing da UP to Wurtsmith...I never thought Oscoda had as much going for it. In keeping with the thread topic though, I'd take either over Barkatraz or Mindrot. Now that I think of it, one thing I'd love to see brought back is JOC night at Mather.

Chuck17 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Vance Zider is a badass. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techsan Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Vance Zider is a badass. Chuck I agree to that as well. He was my ROTC commander back in 98...@ Texas Tech. I clearly remember this one day when I was driving home and saw him running through the campus, which was a normal occurance. However, as most days go in West TX, the wind had to be blowing close to 60 knots that day...and he was running directly into the wind. Again, badass.

Guest Boom Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 For any booms on here, do you guys check the parachutes prior to T/O? Just curious. I check to see if the number of parachutes match the number on the Form 46. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest schwabbeau Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I check to see if the number of parachutes match the number on the Form 46. Form 46: "Parachutes - 0" Boom: "Yep, still no chutes!" 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Form 46: "Parachutes - 0" Boom: "Yep, still no chutes!" Have you been waiting 3 years to reply so the "still no chutes" would be funny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravedigger Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) This thread. /irony For realz: Buckley AFB, freaking sweet location between Denver and C-Springs. How about some UAVs to that place? Buckley is right next to Denver Int'l. Really can't see that working out too well. Plus, why would the Air Force want to make UAV pilots happy? Agreed that Buckley is badass. Then again, pretty much every space base is badass. Major Space Bases: Buckley - Denver Schriever, Peterson, and Cheyenne - C Springs LA - LA Patrick/CCAFS - Cocoa Beach Vandenberg - Eh...Santa Barbara Plus other assignments to Eglin, Beale,and Cape Cod Not too shabby.

SuperWSO Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Major Space Bases: Schriever, Peterson, and Cheyenne - C Springs Not too shabby. Colorado Springs is not too shabby. Schriever... once you get to the top of Trash Can hill, you're in Western Kansas. The only good thing is that the portals have been replaced. Not too much else to recommend that base, and God have mercy on those in base housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravedigger Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 and God have mercy on those in base housing. I live in base housing. My wife tells me that we live in Kansas every day. It sure is nice in the winter driving home from a mid shift at 6am on ice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afnav Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 The base next to Denver Intl was Lowry. Nice place with new construction, and then they closed it. Bring back Carswell, and let the poor guy rest in peace on his base instead of moving him off. Ban ABUs. This one-color-for-all-terrain is just plain stupid. I thought we figured that out in WWII. Bring back morale patches. They already brought back the shitty promotion rates for navs. Check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpharatz Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Bring back Navs. Nah, just fooling. Bring back the F-111 and the SR-71......back of the bar paintings and the days before personal "call-signs" Watch out there.....where compulsiveness treads....mania soon follows. For example, I am developing an all encompassing hatred for bicyclists.....but I don't mention it twice a day............just fooling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
