My Younger brother is a Colonel in the airforce, here's a conversation we had, This is not a joke

Me: so tom whats going on

Tom: we're leaving at 0630 tomorrow, doing a stop in england, then on to the UAE where we will be flying the u-2 plane at 80,000 feet each day from sun up to sundown over bagdad and afghanastan, providing pictures of enemy locations as well as anti aircraft battery sites, and providing a comunications link with troops on the ground.

Me: when will you be home?

Tom: I can't tell you that, it's classified

Wow!! That's all I can say! Pretty sure when he's coming home is less important than all the other info he gave. But as the saying goes only difference between enlisted and officers is they went to college to get smarter! LOL!
 
just when i thought we had enough airforce guys around here. im seperated now.

stay safe over there. i dont know your afsc and many think the airforce rides out the action from a comfortable altitude but i sure know better. i got lucky 4+ years and no deployments because they conflicted with other tdy's but i have a freind who was a combat controller, he tells people he was in the army because it's easier than explaining that he was an airman that more or less worked for the army. he was injured by an IED in afganistan now he's deaf in one ear and has scarring from the shrapnel and surgeries to remove it.
 
when i said that was no joke, I meant that it was a real conversation, of course it was security clearance humor......he didn't reveal any secrets, was a parody from naked gun or some lesslie nielson movie

And my brother started out as enlisted, took college classes while in, instead of drinking, got out did one year ROTC then on to flight school etc...

While myself, in the Corp. perfected after hours drinking, shoulda followed my brother....

I work in Fuels! So yeah I know what you mean.

Alfang
Didn't mean to offend! That's just the saying. For the majority of the officers out there they fall right in line with it. Don't get me wrong I've met a few that are truly smarter.
 
You took out a bunch of screws for me too, I worked on ECM (EA-6B Prowelers) Some of the panels we took off to access our gear had a couple hundred screws, and they didnt let us use cordless drills either. We were always embarrased to ask you guys to fix screws.
 
well if ther're stuck dont be. if you made them stuck, i mean if you stripped the head yet the metals tech or structures guy comes out and still gets it with a speed handle feel free to be embarrased.

I just watched Airplane with my ex girlfriend and her parents, and that was said in there.

Elaine : Oh TED! I never knew I could be so happy. These
few months have been just wonderful. Tomorrow,
why don't we drive up the coast to that little
seafood place and . . . what's the matter???
Striker : My orders came through. My squadron ships out
tomorrow, we're bombing the storage depots at
Daiquiri at 18:00 hours. We're coming in from the
North, below their radar.
Elaine : When will you be back?
Striker : I can't tell you that? It's classified.
Elaine : Ted, please be careful. I worry about you so much.

Looks like I choose the wrong day to stop amphetamines.
 
everytime I fly through the Seattle Tacoma airport I have to fight back the giggles because they still play the same basic "the white zone is for loading and offloading only..." message over and over again hahaha

Rofl, right?  Seatac is a nutty airport.  Do you ever hit the 13 Coins across the street?  I love that place, especially at 3am.

I never leave the airport, Im usually passing through on a red eye and more worried about sleeping than exploring a city I know nothing about in the middle of the night, or I am only in the airport long enough to run from one terminal to the next during a day flight.
 
It's quite literally out the front doors and across the street, in the bottom of one of the twin black office buildings.  I always meet international travelers there, and they have a great bar and great food.  If you have even an hour layover, it's worth your time.  It feels like a combination of a James Bond movie and a random hotel bar in Singapore.
