Refueling US!! The mighty B-52. And at 488,000 lbs. it qualifies as a heavy. One reserve unit. Barksdale AFB, LA. Lots of airshows and we get to kill a lot of sorry ass people that need it. Short deployments to tropical islands in the Indian Ocean. Different mentality than the other heavies with the bombs and all. Not better just different. I had to put my 2 cents in for the finest bomber that's ever flown the skies. Good luck. BTW. NKAWTG. Thanks for the left turns and the weapons guys.

A bomber guy knows NKAWTG?!! I can't believe my eyes. No thanks necessary reCAL. We'll keep on being there when you need us. You guys just keep putting iron on the targets that deserve it.

No kidding. Civilian flight school could use a good dose of 0530 Morning EP Standup.

StanEVAL NAZI: "Lt Numbnutts, you have the aircraft!"

LT Numbnutts: "Sir, first I would maintain aircraft control, then..." proceed to completely mis-diagnose the emergency or forget the boldface ("did I say throttle? I meant throttleS!")

Usually followed by the scheduler pulling your name from the days schedule while you were still handling the EP and trying not to notice that you're grounded for the day.

Ahhhh, the good ol' days.

yeah..something half out SUPT students never experience since they fly with the Navy now. Hmmm.......we should do a historical look-back and see if the SNAPs started showing up about the time we let the AF studs go thru Navy tng!!!! The Navy beats their new pilots down on the boat and det so they don't become SNAPs...have I found the answer?!?!?!

We had one guy who whined about his in and about mileage so much during an indoc tour that travel pay realized they were overpaying ALL the new Lts on their tours. Bye bye cash.

Hence the sign over the desk he sometimes sat at that read "I WANT MY $2.00"!!!

Another one blew up at me - "Im tired of being picked on..tired of always being told to take out the trash.....blah blah blah"
He got his &ss ripped out about 3.2 sec later.
