While not exactly Supreme Bikini Inspector, Gaddafi does have a 40 member cadre of personal bodyguards that he handpicks himself. They are all female and must be Virgins to gain entry to the squad. They are nicknamed the 'Amazonian Guards'. In a 1998 assassination attempt on his motorcade, 7 of them were wounded and one was killed reportedly throwing herself in front of the Colonel.

....So he's not completely crazy!

Seriously, joking aside, is that for real???

I've been doing it for the better part of two years now. Never heard a word from Verizon.

No Air War College either in residence or by seminar, and no Masters Degree either.

Didn't you learn anything while you were 'in'?

No joking, it's for real, and the photos I posted are actual Amazon Guards. I've also seen some other photos where the guards look a little more....shall we say 'Beefier'.....in fact some of them look like real badasses.

Here's another link showing more photos (you also have to love some of the outfits Gaddafi dresses up in!)

It is possible to sync an android phone with itunes. At least a Sprint Evo using itunes agent.

When he first took over the country someone told him he didn't have a clue.

So he went out and bought Clue and found out he could either be Mrs. Peacock, Professor Plum or a Colonel.

Either that or he really likes KFC and wanted to be the Colonel.

Anyone notice in the compliment letter for the crew from NRT-PDX that both F/O's are also listed as F/As?

So when PCS begins on the 20th are you limited to ALV +/- 7.5 or ALV +/-15?

And when does stuff like Training switch from Pay and credit to pay only?
