After flying as a pax and touring the flight deck cockpit I am wondering how in the world anyone can manage to sleep on the bed that is in the cockpit.Was it made for very small crewmembers or what?The mattress on the bunk had to be designed by a massocist!One load master told me that he had a hammock in his bag.I thought he was pulling my johnson but then he showed it to me.But still I was told that the bunk was mainly used to just store bags and stuff on.What gives?What is a augmented crew?And who gets the bunk?

I had a chuckle when i saw the local gun clubs latest promotional ad. I really love the "Welcome to America" I nearly passed out when I saw that they will have the FN p90 available soon.

Before you do be sure to check out what this guy has to say. Holy cow. I already knew they were anti gun and anti religion. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/12/08/wounded-warriors-project-a-legal-scam/ If what is reported here is true these guys really need to be publicly flogged.

Kid's hat banned due to zero-tolerance policy at school. Eight-year-old David Morales wanted to honor American troops, so he decorated a cap for his second-grade class assignment. Little did he know that he would run afoul of the school’s zero-tolerance weapons policy: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iMXgWX1my2TrMvxt5JNxRShwyzBwD9GD9RV80 Best quote ever ""The American soldier is armed. That's why they're called the armed forces," -Lt. Gen. Reginald Centracchio To appease people he could have made a second hat hit little soldiers holding little copies of the second amendment. I would like to make him a hat, with a herk gunship flying over…

Very cool graphics...best I've seen even though it's time to wait for the NTSB hearing. Note NY Dept Contl trying to maintain contact while the A320 pilots are now concentrating on landing and no longer transmitting to them. Splashdown view was generated from the NJ side.

Went to the range the other day and shooting my carry gun and had a squib load (primer only, no gunpowder) and now I have a bullet lodged HARD into the barrel, now to find a way to get it out without damaging the barrel. Scary part is this is my carry gun, what would have happened if I had to use it and this happened - seriously screwed is what I would have been. This was with MagTech ammo, anybody else have trouble with their ammo?

"The STEP program is a tool commanders can use to promote people that, in the commander's eyes, are deserving of immediate promotion." "When Airmen know that the possibility exists that they could be spot promoted, it gives them additional reason to do their best work." Anyone know someone who got a Stripe Through Exceptional Performance?

I have started a new website blog designed to protest and take action against the un-Constitutional actions of the TSA, namely their violation of our 4th Amendment rights. I have made it an open forum in that I would like to invite up to 100 people to be authors and posters on this blog. If you are interested in adding your input to this website, please email me at [email protected] and I'll sign you up if you request. I see a ton of people all over the web who call themselves Patriots, but I don't see a whole hell of a lot of action in actually doing something to return this great country to where it belongs. What say you, are you content to be a Paper Patriot or are…

Been a long time. I just popped back in. Could not access my account and kept coming back to check on it. Sometime during the switch over, the text got all gobbledygook and my username now has characters I can’t even find on the keyboard. So I guess that was probably why I couldn’t access it. Last I posted was five years ago, when my dad passed, and I left you all that important message about getting checked for prostrate cancer. It was hard for me, still is. It was also around the time Dan (on the forum) had passed away. That hit me as well. George Malone (member here and former loadmaster and was my “loadmaster”) and I were still working at transporting special…

Crisis Looms: Emergency Talks Break Down at UK HQ............[another problem created by organized labour] Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda management have so far failed to produce an agreement. The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the number of virgins a suicide bomber would receive after his death will be cut by 20% next January from 72 to only 60. The rationale for the cut was the increase in recent years of the number of suicide bombings and a subsequent shortage of virgins in the after…

Tonight Thurs 11/7/13 Weather Channel says the worlds strongest typhoon is headed for the P.I. Predicted winds from 190 to 230 MPH. Looks like it will hit Cebu City but miss Angelese City. All us old P.I. Herk guys need to pray for them. There are about 3000 ex GIs living in the PI but about 58 million total people live in the PI. I remember typhoon bug outs but this looks like the macdaddy of all time. Bill Clark AB 69-70

I was looking for something for a friend of mine & came across my old T-29-1 (dated 8/11/65). I thought guys like SEFE George & other oilers would get a kick out of the airplane's fuel panel -- very hi-tech. Don R.

Figured I would start a new thread for this and not bolox up my post about the MOH. There is NO CLASSIFIED or Sensitive, or OPSEC related information in this post, lets just get that out there right off the top Gary (and all, if your interested), take a look at the Wikipedia article on "the battle for Roberts Ridge and Op Anaconda - lots of disinformation there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Anaconda like this example Chapman was gunned down, hard, not even five minutes after they sat down and engaged, and then several mortar shells landing not ten feet from the body later on! If he got up and fought later, he sure didn't do it this dimen…

This may be old but it made me laugh! With that said, I thought I would share it all of you. Enjoy! Husband banned from Target After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse. Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from our local Target. Dear Mrs. Samsel, Over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store.. We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against you…
