The CO of VFA-22 calls me the Mayor of the O'Club, I've got nearly double my age in hours in two fleet platforms (if you combine them), and a sprinkling of hours in helo's and turbo weenies.

That's pretty funny right there.

Schnugg,
I know you admit you have no idea what Crud really is, but let me point out some problems with your photo.
Crud is an Aviator's game. As you can see, in this photo, there are only a few folks in uniform, and only 1 of them is an Aviator. To make it worse, the ref doesn't have pilot or nav wings. The guys getting ready to receive the serve has his arms on the table (illegal), which shows what an amateur act this is. As for the lone pilot, he's an O-5 or O-6, and his Majcom patch looks like he's at a logistics base, or some other base that doesn't have a aircraft on the ramp. Now, look in the background: looks like the local old folks home just let out. And you can see what looks like the Club Manager observing, and making sure no one hurts his club. As for the guy in the armor, I have no clue... but it certainly substantiates my belief that this is not an Aviator's base.
Crud's a great game. Give it a try. But not at this base.

Looks like it is cave pilot types.

Great find! +1

Made me curious as to whether Air Force gave a name (as only they can) to the event only to find out Guardian Challenge is a series of competitions....

Guardian Challenge Marksmanship

Not to be outdone by the "Cave pilots", the ICBM guys hosted the Food Network Challenge (why not a sexier name like Aroma Challenge or Gastro Challenge?) Of course, the names of the cookies were quite imaginative...guess hanging around silos gives you plenty of time for this?

I witnessed the end of “T!t5 on Tuesday” at the Moffett O’Club in the early ‘80’s. The event was always well attended, particularly by the NASA Ames types, and was a rolicking good time. One Tuesday an LDO from my squadron (to remain unnamed) showed up already three sheets to the wind. He took a shine to one of the performers and proceeded to demonstrate a mock lewd and lascivious act upon her nether regions. There was much applause. In walks COMPATWINGSPAC accompanied by the base CO. These were stand-up guys. They each had a sip or two of their beers and quietly left. The LDO was still performing, happy as a clam so to speak. Next Tuesday, no T!t5. End of an era.

BTW the dice game there was a simple max three rolls (5 dice) to make most of a kind with aces wild. No more rolls than the hand you were trying to beat. Five aces in a roll bought the bar. Last two in the game did a best of three. Loser buys the round. Dice flying of the bar, perp buys a round. No money at stake, just drinks.
