As a Brac survivor myself, I know you have more avoidance maneuvers and good deals in the ANG/Res than the avg AD dude.
The mere fact that you flew in the same unit for a quarter century would make the rest of your comments pretty hard for an AD guy to relate to.
Yes, of course you're right. Sorry man, I hope I wasn't too hard on him.. However, hopefully he saw both the little "sarcastic" smile and the "wink" smile and knew I was just kidding. If anything, I was complaining about my units' losing the fighter role and being in the air transport role for the past few years. And to think, we were that (thumb and index finger about a 1/4" apart) close to getting F-16's.
Just look at us now.
