KillBOX!

Kill box... I imagine Happy Time Harry (ATHF) trying to shank a cardboard vagina.

P.S. What is the difference between JSTARS and AWACS anyways?

 

[cisforsmasher]

JSTARS (Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar Systems) deals with tracking ground units and AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) primarily deals with air threats. Same 707 airframe, just modified to do different things.

And if the JSTARS is bored that day, with nothing to - they'll radio relay for us lowly helos... No shit - happened to me. ONCE. I thought I had done something wrong when they first contacted me...

Professionalism is one thing but I think this is taking the PC thing a bit far. Even I say box and I have one. Granted I may not be the best judge of this.

You have problems judging you have your own box......?

I always knew shoes were strange.....:icon_tong

Why is the Air Force the biggest bunch of PX!@ies? Here is the conversation that I heard:

Controller: "Roger, AFGUY32, you are cleared for KillBox XYZ"
AFGUY32: "Uhhh, controller, that Kill container is not going to work for us, we need Kill Container YXZ"

It is called a KillBox because that is what you do inside of it. You kill people that try and bring harm to our troops. Maybe not in my case, I merely radiate their babies, but that is besides the point. How can you conduct combat in a politically correct environment where you cannot say the word box? So what do they call the cockpit then? The powder room?

That's the price you pay for flying CFACC. Enjoy listening to those retards clobbering Kingpen.

"Uh, controller, you want us to actually dive toward the enemy? Can't we just drop our LGB from 20,000ft?"

Assuming suitable winds, ya, that would be the preferred tactic.

What? You don't needlessly put yourself into harm's way?

I miss the days when you could just say what you meant

Let's rephrase in PC terms for your personal entertainment...

What the

hell?

inferno

Are those

faggy little computer nerds

socially challenged little phallus's sitting in their aircraft, snickering like D&D playing

7th graders

adolescent pupils whenever someone says,

"...Box,"

"container" over the radio? I'm pretty sure if someone pulled that

shit

poop in my airspace, I would tell them to go home, because I have no work for

stupid fucking assclowns.

intellectually impaired romantically automated bottom theatrical productionists "Kill container," indeed... It's not like there's anything more important to do than over-PC ever minute detail, though, huh? Holy sweet,

big breasted mother of GOD,

gravitationally challenged maternal culturally Non-Specific. Equally Powered Gender Non-Determinate Deity I miss the days when you could just say what you meant without some

shithead

fellatio feces pushing his spectacles up his nose and making ticky marks on a scorecard somewhere.

Sorry, little stressed at work this week.

hope this brightens your day...

We taxied by as a two ship today and had a couple guys waiting to get gas in their T-1's wave at us? I thought, wow that's kind of gay...and then it came to me....it was a come on....and I realized how could they have known I was Mclovin sexy under all my gear?

First, you are sexy.

Second, they aren't sexy.

Third, they were really bored as they were on their way to clobber the ILS for an hour so no one caould take off and land. They needed to do something to entertain themselves.

It was probably some FAIP (first assignment instructor pilot) who never flew in the fleet trying to impress his student who had never flown in the fleet.

what a douche....if it was me in the T-1, I would have run up to you guys and begged you to take me away.

Question: Did you know FAIPs refer to themselves as "Fighter Pilots"?

True story, and one was at a bar with a -18 driver and unknowingly asked if he (the -18 driver) had ever had a beer with a fighter pilot. Yes, the FAIP walked up to a complete stranger (a dude, noless) and asked him if he had ever had a beer with a fighter pilot.

The -18 driver took the bait and ran. "Oh, no way, YOU are a FIGHTER PILOT!!!!"
