1998...over Iraq...leading a 6 ship of F-15s doing no fly zone enforcement. Check in with AWACS...who for whatever reason cannot come up secure or show up on the right Have Quick (frequency hopping) net. Morons.
Next on deck are our F-16 CJ SEAD support. Again..not in the net, not available on secure. ********* morons.
C-130 Compass Call...more guys who graduated last in UPT. Douchebags aren't on the net either....
Here come the strikers...the F-16s. Again--these clueless tools cannot find their way on the HQ net.
(Hey...hmm...do you suppose....)
And that is how the first deployment of fearless USAFE Eagles showed up to enforce the No Fly zones in CENTCOM. (By the way...Centcom has different comsec codes and passwords than USAFE.....)
(Six Eagle drivers blushing. One very mad brand new Mission CC staring a hole through # 4 who is 3. 5 miles away on his left wing...the comsec officer for the flight...)
Been there, done that. When it ain't working...it sometimes (maybe) just might be you.
Laughing WITH you, not at you...
