Here's typical military stuff. While in Arabia, 72-73 we would get bomb threats all the time. I mean almost every night some arab would call the MAAG house and tell us (13 of us there) they were going to blow us up, they called us all kinds of names..etc. Anyway, being a part of the US Army we had for our defense, 12 steel pots, (helmets to those of you that don't know) 13 baseball bats, 13 trash can lids and 13 pistol belts, but no pistols to hang there. After about 3 weeks of being scared s------- we just got tired of hearing them and when they called with their threats we just continued going about our business. Besides, there were 200K of them and only 13 of us...and 1 of us didn't get a steel pot!!
I decided that this thread needs a Bar
So here are the rules
1- All ranks patents and branches are welcome.
2- All other branches upon entering have to buy a round of drinks to all the AIRFORCE personnel inside
3- When addressing a Pilot you will neal, bow your head, and say "oh superior being please forgive this worthless magot"
4- Before you take a drink you shall make a toast "Long live the AIRFORCE" or "to the GODS that fly above the worthless beings that we are, may they live forever"
5- If you came in with a girlfriend, you shall imidiatly introduce her to the Pilots inside, remembering to use rule 3 when addressing him.
6- If the AIRFORCE personnel are not drunk, all other branches have to keep buying drinks.
7- Every time a fist fight breaks all other branches will allow the AIRFORCE to throw the first punches.
8- AIRFORCE rules, so every 10 minutes, all other branches will use rule 3 and add "may you live forever"
9- Upon leaving the premises you will use rule 3 and crawll back to the door always facing the superiour beings that are your better.
10- At the door you shall bow 3 times and shout "ZOOMIES RULE"
WELL COME ON IN
"THE SKY WALKER BAR"
Being the son of a career Air Force Colonel, i'll go along with the rules, however, as stated earlier, you wouldn't be able to get in your plane and fly around until some Company Clerk (that would be me) types up the orders!!
"Oh, I'm sorry sir" "Did that requisition say 5000 lbs of fuel?" "I thought it said 50"...my bad"
This Doggie tells a couple of sailors to check out the 'SKY WALKER'.
'First round is free' got them hopping in a cab.
As long as I'm addressing a naval aviator, sure, I'll go along with those rules. IMHO, USN pilots are as good as they get...them and the Israeli pilots. After all DeepBlue, you said yourself, USN Intruders "killed" you before you ever left the runway. right?
pharmman17....you have to remember that if you only gimme 50ponds of fuel ill probably just land on your desk
lane2512 thanks for the sailors, ill give them the "grand tour"
wh1skea ...well you see if OTHER people knew what they were doing, that would not have happenedI mean how hard can it be to look at a screen and notice a couple of "spots"...clearical help is always hard to get
DBW, I know, that's why I made that little "typo"...
Duely noted, and I have a good idea of what/when. My incident was not of a secret nature, as it happened on the torp range out by Kaui.Originally posted by ShadowWolf05:
If it's my comment above you are refering to then ET2(SS) nuke. Sorry but that's all i can give as to the encounter wasn't all that long ago. (Maybe like a year or so ago). As to it's classification right now, i'm sure it's still TOP SECRET. So I'm not at liberity to say much about which boat or place or time. But yes I too am a nuke of the wire rate. Wire biters as affectionately referred to.
We were the "Rabbit" boat for most ops back in the early-mid '90s so we were always getting "shot" at. Well during one excercise someone over at the Weapons depot was having a bad day and swapped a - for a + on the practice weapon end-run evasion. Due to that little mistake, we took a Mk48 ADCAP practice weapon to the engineroom (3 times due to bounce). Came back to Pearl on the surface (not a happy ride for most of the crew!) That little trick got us 6 weeks pierside for repairs.
In my day, EM's were called wire-biters (or something not allowable on the board), and ET's were called Twidgets.
