Same with my father-in-law. Radio Operator / Gunner The legacy of the B-24 got short shrift because it wasn't as sexy as the B-17.

Pass me my beer, will ya shipmate? I'm a little busy right now.....

Dare I ask?

A crusty old Chief has been having trouble for the last several months "venting beer" so he decides to go to Medical and see a Urologist. He finally gets called back and it told to strip to his skivies and that the Doc would be there in a few minutes. There's a knock on the door, and in...

I like it a lot better than the one we had back in the early 90's: We could never figure out where the rest of the sun went.

NAS Sanford FL (outside Orlando) was home to Heavy 12 and some other RVAH squadrons back in the 60's. They have decent memorial park and are actively engaged in restoration of naval aircraft. Their lates project is a PV-1 http://nassanfordmemorial.com/volunteers.htm

Hehehe I like the idea, but it would probably be months. We have a large "Employee of the Month" display in our conference room. Since we work nights and can be "stealthy", my partner in crime and I put fishing pictures of ourselves in the 2 empty slots. After about 3 months at an "all hands...

That's not a mouse in my pocket heyjoe. I'm just happy to see you ;)

Loosely translated, he says "Which one of you foxy wenches wants to see my kielbasa?" Makes me proud to be half Ukranian!

Nice to see that we're getting some color back. Has "lo-viz only" gone away?

Reminds me of an old "Broadside" comic right after Top Gun came out... "Target bears 156 degrees....10,000 yards.... speed 12 knots.....CPA 5000 yards!" Nervous JOOD says "Come on Mav, do some of that SWO stuff"

Speaking of motivational / inspirational...

I hate those posters. I have one at work that says "Leadership is empowering people to shine like beacons in the night" or some such new-age, Kumbaya singing claptrap. I've been sorely tempted to put a post-it note on it that says "Leadership is getting someone down do some shitty job...

At one time I had a lot more guns than I do now. Now Im down to 4 .32 and 9mm (Carry) .22 (plinking / small game) and 9mm (Carbine) Considering something in .223 What's your mix?

Great music in the first video, but the lyrics suck! And I distinctly heard cow bell.....

Over the Road Truck Driver for 5 years... Hip replacement. More College Law Enforcement (Crime Scene)

If you live in Florida, and are active duty or retired, you qualify for the Florida Military Gold license. It covers freshwater and saltwater fishing and also hunting. No additional stamps are required (for example, during snook season, to keep a slot snook you are required to have a snook...

Rubber duck also sighted here....

I can't imagine Gore, Kerry or Obama doing something like this...

Also, if you are a fisherman / hunter, check out Florida's "Military Sportsman's Gold" license. Freshwater / Saltwater w/ all stamps + hunting for $20.00 a year. About 1/4 the price of the regular Sportsman's Gold license. Active duty and retired are eligible.

Was Dale Hagen the skipper of VQ-1 or VQ-3 back then? He was the "father of the bride" at my wedding in 1980 since the real one couldn't make it from Indiana. Anyone know if he ever got his star? Good guy, although I almost killed him and the COMNAVMAR COS with a wicked slice off the tee...

Sarah looks much more at ease with that M4 than Diane Feinstein. (Note finger on trigger)

There's a sign at my local boat ramp, posted by the local Sheriff's Office, that list rules and regulations and specifically bans "gun-whale" riding. Guess I'll put my correction fluid away.....

Make sure you hide your credit cards. No reason to not get one. You can buy C&R firearms on-line and have the nice UPS/FedEx driver deliver them right to your door. No need to go through an FFL and pay a transfer fee. If you decide to get one, some advice: DO NOT SIGN THE ORIGINAL...

I thought you looked familiar!

I voted for inconsistancy. I would rather work for someone who's an asshat 24/7, that someone who is Mary Poppins one day and Lizzie Borden the next

OK, I don't get out much... What movie was that?

Not recent, but don't forget Independence Day...

I do believe John McCain WOULD saw off his own balls. Obama's gonna have Jessie do it for him though.

E-1 Tracer - Also "Stoof with a Roof" US-2B "Used to be" Any pedestal mounted aircraft at the main gate of any NAS or AFB - "Pig on a Stick"

The guys verbal smackdown of the female anchor reminds me of the old SNL skit with Jane Curtin and Chevy Chase. "Jane, you ignorant slut..."

My father-in-law's brother flew Jugs in Europe. They had a saying that went something like; "If you want to get the girl, fly a P-51. If you want to get home, fly a P-47"

Take it to the range at sunset. The muzzle flash is quite impressive!

I know we have some AW's here at Air Warriors, but here's a link to an AW specific message board http://awhangar.com/

Smuggled a bottle of "French Champagne" aboard Iwo (the old one) while we were in Toulon. Planned on celebrating the outchop with my AZ buddy. When we finally had the opportunity to open it, peeled back the foil and found out the damned thing had a screw cap! Hell I could have saved the money...

The old Vietnam era GI bill took a hit too. I retired in 95, and they had reduced the benefits of the Vietnam GI bill from 45 to 36 months.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed about a "correct" decision by SCOTUS.... But then again look at what happened with Kelo vs CT.

I thought my fabulous Navy Retirement check was a bit "hefty" this month!

Absolutely nothing to do with the military. This just happened to be on the same page as our dancing Junior Birdman... http://traffic.livevideo.com/in/54/5/509/

My son did 6 weeks at Fort Bragg prior to leaving for Afghanistan. He was on Instructor Duty in Hawaii (He's a spook) when he and 3 of his shimates were asked to consider going over. One guy was retiring in 6 months, one guys wife was due in 8 weeks and the third guy has some kind of medical...

Nope. Uncle Sugar provided it for me. Hell, I'm still paying off a bar tab from 1972 in Olongapo!

When I attained the exhaulted rank of Chief, I went from sleeping on a 36 x 72 x 3" mattress, to a 36 x 72 x 4" mattress! :D Life was good!

Newsies don't know, don't care... When I was on Guam, we had a couple of JMSDF P-2's fly in. Not sure what model, but they were the ones they re-engined with turboprops. Anyway the news reader on TV referred to them as "highly modified P-3's" Glad to hear the Prowler crew is OK.

OK, not aviation humor, but I got a chuckle out of this..... "Bill's ex-girlfriends wife for President"

Become intimately familiar with your states concealed carry laws. http://www.handgunlaw.us/

Here now, I used to live in Flour Bluff when I was stationed in Corpus. But you're right, I'm sure Bubba and Skeeter would love to have a "word" with the protesters. In Texas "He needed killin' " is considered an afirmative defense.

I am seriously considering changing my carry gun from a Mil Pro PT-111 to a wheel-gun that will accept Crimson Trace laser grips. I know that self-defense purists advocate that the proper sight picture eliminates the need for "gadgets" like laser sights, but I'm thinking about times when you...
