It's more of a smirk than smile if you ask me.

More of a "FU, I know Newk" smirk.

Isn't that some of our 73N guys on reserve, hanging out on the beach, waiting for the call to head to exotic destinations... like... Livonia. Where the 7ER guys on reserve look like this:

And the 88 reserve guys in ATL look like this:





ia, let's just face it, the 737 guys get all of the love.



But it could always be worse, right?

77 air force cadets sent to hospital after lightning strike - CBS News

You know a year or so ago my father-in-law was making a run from his car to their house when a nearby tree got struck and the electricity traveled across the wet ground to him. The electrical shock cost $3500 in dental work.

Spent my first 5 years in the USAF there with an apartment SOB (south of Broad). Phenomenal experience!

I am guessing that did not include the reduced costs because of all the DV8 on the front end for a lot of those trips.

***END RUMOR CONTROL***

FWIW, same thing heard in office this am. Apparently the excessive $$$$ over budget for training/ioe/toe in the last AE drove the decision.. More DHing ahead.

Each bag may weigh up to 70 lbs. (32 kg) and measure up to 80 linear inches (203 cm).

Additionally, military personnel traveling on personal business will be allowed two checked bags up to 50 lbs (23 kg) and 62 linear inches (158 cm) at no charge.

YouTube video did not work, but the policy has been this for at least the last month from the last time I looked at it. And I'm sure the travel orders would cover the rest!

Early out . . . 73.
