LESSONS IN LEADERSHIP: From a Janitor Wharton Leadership Digest, December 2001 By Colonel James E. Moschgat, Commander of the 12th Operations Group, 12th Flying Training Wing, Randolph Air Force Base, Texas William “Bill†Crawford certainly was an unimpressive figure, one you could easily overlook during a hectic day at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Mr. Crawford, as most of us referred to him back in the late 1970s, was our squadron janitor. While we cadets busied ourselves preparing for academic exams, athletic events, Saturday morning parades and room inspections, or never-ending leadership classes, Bill quietly moved about the squadron mopping and buffing flo…

Pretty interesting article, althoughit happened a few years ago. Wonder why they didn't bring in the simulated out engine? If nothing else, you gotta read the comment at the end of the article. Have procedures changed that much since I was on the Herc? Don R. Click here: Spinning the Lockheed P-3C Orion - Unusual Attitude

hey , guys, the local paper is gonna run this in their Saturday TV guide section supposedly from that bastion of historical information, accuracy, and research History Channel. They claim it to be of a young marine just off the boat at DaNang in 65. Some things about it puzzle me, I may be off on this stuff, so let me know. First, his name tag, has both first initials and last name, and is on the left side of his blouse. My recollection is that they were on the right, last name only. Number two, his helmet cover has writing on it which probably didn't happen on your first day on the beach. His hair looks way too long, and he has no rank insignia visible. And, tinwhistle…

Found an excellent shooting range here, probably the best range I have seen in a long time. Its run by the conservation folks, its public and FREE to use (thank God I get something for all these taxes here in IN). It was a nice day, warmed up and was about 33 or 34 and sunny and we had a great time!!

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.

As a widow, not sure how to expose a fake navy seal, collecting money from many war widows and the general public. His name is Randal Reed DOB 1956 of San Luis Obispo, CA uses a internet site with his friend who started it named Karen Velie, they have done many fake and misleading phony stories. The most recent was " Veteran Barred from Services" she figured she and he could generate lots of donations if they did this fake story. Saying Randal Reed born in 1956 in San Luis Obispo, CA joined the Navy Seals, earned the Navy Cross, Purple Heart, and was a highly decorated Navy Seal. All is a lie and fake he is a x-con not a veteran at all, they used this fake story and other…

I've be browsing the web site www amervets dot com. Some pretty good information. I filled out some info and they sent me a listing of awards and decs that I probably qualify for. In the listing I saw only 2 that I might qualify for, Air Force Training (Accession) and Cold War ribbons. Not sure but I just might use their form and send them in. A few others I might have to research more. Is there a place when you can research awards for particular units, projects, or other support? I provided some support for the Yon Kipper War in '73 while at Wright-Patterson. There was something like a 900 series manual that listed unit awards but it was in an office on base. …

Hi. I haven't been around in a while. My father passed away in the PI last Friday. Don't know how many people here knew him. We (myself, and another daughter) had spent the last few years of his life fighting with the VA to get him disability for Agent Orange. During this time, he had been diagnosed with prostrate cancer. The cancer had spread to his testicles and then earlier this year, his spine. He was proud and stubborn. Had he not been so stubborn, he probably would have had another year or two. When it spread to his testicles, he refused to have them removed, or any sort of treatments, because he felt that would make him less of a man. Please, if you are diagnosed…

Back in the day, (circa 1957) Lockheed ads said early A models could be “ Loaded / unloaded simultaneously through rear cargo door (9 feet x 10 feet) and forward cargo door (6 feet x 6 ½ feet) at truck and dock level height.” Does anyone remember this actually happening... if so give an example… or was this Lockheed marketing bull.
