I have a question that maybe one of you guys can answer for me. Does the USAF keep records of daily missions? Also if they do, do they keep them in an archive somewhere? The reason I ask, is while reading many books on the ground war/infantry actions in Viet Nam, I have discovered that most of the books I have read the authors have been able to go back to their unit records and check their memories with what actually happened on what mission and what day! Names and everything! I am still looking for any records/missions that would include my experiences on Jan 1st. 1968. If they did keep a daily log on each acft or mission, would they still be available? As the yea…

I have been wondering if any of you guys know why we never see anything from him anymore. I sure hope he is okay! Also, I hope that he hasn't quit posting because of something one of us may have said. I found all of his posts very interesting. Ken

To all of you on the board belated Merry Christmas, Hannaka, Qwanza, and New Year wishes from the House of Gizzard. My computer took some kind of fit,around December 14, probably associated with our lousy power service in this area,and I have been totally unconnected. I am now functioning on an old laptop borrowed from my daughter. This past year had some real bumps in it for me, but I also gained a bunch of new brothers, on this site. What a great honor for me and to spend such a great time with the 316th guys last summer, well I can't describe that at all. My wife is having surgery on her foot tomorrow, a very painful procedure at that. She will be pretty muc…

O.K. guys, I need your help, or rather your advice, or suggestions, or any assistance you may provide. Each year the Social Studies teacher at the local High School sponsors a Veterans Day observance at the H.S. Very well done, very respectful, but the last couple years it seems as though it has turned into more of a Memorial Day observance, complete with bag pipes, Danny Boy, that sort of thing. I have been asked to be involved in the plans for this years observance. I know what I'd like changed, but not what to replace it with. For instance; the music. The H.S. School choir always sings as well as the band (or part of) plays, that's where Danny Boy comes in. Any suggest…

Here's a joke I heard back in 90 when I was a fresh FNG on the flightline: note: this joke applies to any branch,so I'll give you the AF version. 3 Generals and an Admiral are sitting around a campfire, each bragging about which branch has more balls, the army gen cant stand it anymore and sees a soldier walking and by and calls him over and says, "soldier, I want you to run out on the battlefield and kill me 150 tanks and bring me back 1500 POW's!" The gen turns to the others and says see?The marine gen goes, "that aint sh#t!" and when he sees a marine walk by, he says, "marine,run out on the battlefield and kill me 250 tanks and bring me back 2500 POW"s!" so then he l…

Sorry if this offends. Some times I just cant help myself! . ................................................................................ The Pope and Nancy Pelosi are on the same stage in front of a huge crowd. The Pope leans towards Mrs. Pelosi and said, "Do you know that with one little wave of my hand I can make every person in this crowd go wild with joy? This joy will not be a momentary display, like that of your followers, but go deep into their hearts and they'll forever speak of this day and rejoice!" Pelosi replied, "I seriously doubt that. With one little wave of your hand? Show me" So the Pope slapped her.

What I finally did, was meet (in person), one of the guys on this forum. I am very happy our meeting turned out the way I expected. I met one of our regulars --Chris Schutz--(tinwhistle) this weekend and my wife and I spent some very enjoyable hours with Chris and his wife Mary. We did some touring the area in rain, snow, & sunshine and visited and had a good time. Chris and I got to tell each other our old war stories and what has happened over the years. I know that if I would have known him while in the USAF, we would have been good friends. I think that would be the way with a lot of us on the forum! We all have something in common. The C-130 Hercules!!!!! …

Down here I work as a volunteer, helping veterans get the entitlements which of course is a minefield. However I am pleased to advise that the benefits down here, appear to be clothed in less red tape that in the US Forces. I am assisting a Australian lady who still is an Australian citizen, who was married to a US Army veteran, and he died some three years ago from a condition that may or may not be service related. The US Government sent a head stone for his grave all the way from the USA, but he is buried in a local plot, as we have no military graves here in Australia after WW2. A problem has arisen, where the Australian government who is in charge of pensio…

The one piece I did not like to use was the LOX Cart something about the LOX and oil not liking each other. One other thing is ground pressure check on the plane. I could just see that plane blowing to bit's.
