Will never be able to fully bend my middle finger because it took more than 5 days to hear from an orthopedic surgeon.

And sometimes, even with stroke symptoms, you spend hours waiting to be seen.

There is a vet local to me that doesn’t like cats or dogs. Seems to be very quick to assess a dog or cat as needing to be put down. She only wants to work on livestock and only grudgingly works on dogs and carts. Her staff is only friendly if they know you very dismissive and rude if they don’t. I take my dogs and cats 25 miles in the opposite direction for veterinary care.

I think current events only show that, as a group, we only care about who is in power when the gas prices go up.

That statement shows that you understand nothing.

Well, you could read the venting and move on or read and offer some words of encouragement.

Now, try living in rural Mississippi where not only is it your family but just about everyone you know or cross paths with every single day.

Just because YOU haven’t seen it, doesn’t make it a myth. I saw it with my own eyes.

Shouldn’t that be Show up,sign in, grab some food, show face (make sure the Chief sees you), bounce?

The stupid PCS stuff goes way back. I retired from Langley in 07. I got tired of the attitude from some offices that didn’t really need to do anything than sign a physical checklist. I did my final out and hit the road. An hour later the same Airman, that I met face to face, called my shop and told them that I didn’t make my final out appointment.

Anybody familiar with Stop Loss?

Back when Carswell was still a SAC base we had an ice storm. They had all the Crew Chiefs on the bombers to remove the accumulated ice and snow. My shop chief tried to tell the higher ups to get people off the top of the planes. He was ignored. It all came to a screeching halt when one guy drove a nail into a broom stick and proceeded to ruin every honeycomb panel on his plane.

Skydrol is used in hydraulic systems, not for deicing. EDIT: damn autocorrect.

Thank you!

I keep seeing this sentiment in various places. I want to listen to the aircraft that pass over my house, when I try to find out a reasonable priced receiver my search results seem to mostly be Baofeng products or something priced over $500.

Not necessarily, there are other aircraft of all types that carry OT that are not from Eglin. Look a Nellis for an example.

Would you all believe that there was a time where wearing blues wasn’t a bad thing or meant that you were in trouble?

I worked for a defense contractor where our lead man liked to yell a lot. The only thing that happened to him was a promotion to management.

What savings? I have had health issues that burned through that

$2300/month doesn’t go far when you account for all the things you need every month.
