    One we complained about the condition of the food and our mess hall, but it did no good as all the good stuff, like new dining chairs and tables, and steaks and seafood went to the Air Force.

    One day we got in some new 3 legged dining tables. All were inscribed Property of USAF. And I thought it sure was nice of the US American Females to give us a wobbly 3 legged table.

    You know them US American Female club don't you. They gather once a month for lunch and they go throughout the military community and gather up all those magazines like, RedBook, Better Homes and Garden, Golf Digest and such and send them to the Marine Corp fellers out in the field for reading material.

    Just to remind you, we're charged with keeping 45 and 46 year old aircraft in the air. It's not combat, but considering the conditions we have to work in and mostly sub-par equipment we have to use, it's a challenging enough job at times. How about you all come out here and try it on yourself? I'll even loan you a pickle suit so you don't get too dirty.

    That's what Kevin was saying today. He told me about just after Desert Storm when some Marines were bragging that they got some M1A1 Abrams to replace their M60A3s. He said, "Yeah, you got the M1A1s, but only because the Army got M1A2s." [:D]

    $#!+ flows down.

    What? Throw me out of the moving van? No worse than jumping out of the back of a 5-ton with 80 lbs worth of armor on, and not realizing that it's not the usual 5 feet from the bed of the truck to the ground, but 8 because the driver parked the back end over a hole.

    No, because I'm old, don't use them, and they shriveled up like raisins and hid themselves.

    Guard or reserve shouldn't matter. Isn't he supost to maintain a positive military image at all times?

    I have 1/8th inch of growth right now, and that's too long for me. It needs to stay warm so I can shave it all off.

    My parting thought for all of you is: Remember how many tries to took zulu to get through basic? Also, how long has he been in and he's only an E4? I'm going to be sewing on Senior Airman a few months after my 2 year mark.

    Nope. Not until the Air Force people learn to accept the fact that they were Army in the beginning.
