And the fact that you then tried to blame your PAO for what you could have fixed in 10 seconds with a Sharpie. Bush league, bro. Bush league . . .
I still standby my initial statement.
I still bought you alcohol.

That was classic, I don't think I've seen a face turn any redder than yours was when you were trying to explain the situation to the CDR

I've never had good control over my blushing ability. Hence I can never lie cause everyone and their mother's dog knows it. It's my Achilles heal, oh well.
If I was drunker at the time my face would have already been red and it wouldn't have been an issue. Oh well...

Sorry dude but all the cool AWs in Corpus left.
Or haven't arrived...and are waiting to class up at API.
Truth.
The Kingsville O-Club is headed in the right direction. So far we have had Hawaiian, Medieval Knight, and 80's themed wingings, just to name a few memorable nights. Real strong showings. I personally witnessed a dude ripping his brand new fire-pit apart with a drill in order to use the basin as a spartan shield for his Knight costume. Also, said officer was wrapped up in tin foil for his suit of "armor"........ inside the bar. Single handedly raised the bar for everyone, no pun intended.
Also, in response to a quote from a while ago: "The younger guys 'want' the traditions and camaraderie of their predecessors; I'll assume that's a given."
This i can say is an ABSOLUTE given. Especially in Kingsville, there is an ever-growing cadre of young aviators who are ready and willing to step up and provide the energy and antics required to make sure our traditions don't die out.

Just reading through this thread, and also the corresponding thread on baseops.net. The AF bubbas talk a lot about "Squadron Bars" they migrated to when the O'Clubs became unpopular or an ass pain to frequent. Does the Navy do similar?
Don't know about present day -- but the NAV never had 'squadron bars' inside the perimeter fence when I flew for UNCLE ... in other words, 'drinking not allowed' in squadron spaces. In any case, I think it would set a poor example for the troops if done by Officers in the spaces ... but that's just me.
The AF was replete w/ 'em when I flew against them @ various ACM dets in the 70's-80's ... the 'bar's OPEN after the last hop/debrief. One or two of 'em even had a paid bartender -- an enlisted guy.
Yes.
You mean .... *gasp* ... you have bars in squadron spaces?? WITH ... *GASP* ... 'LIKKER ??? IN THE ... *GASSP* ... US NAVY ???!!!
I KNEW I shoulda' stayed in ...
^^Yep, and strippers too, A4s. Ya shouldda stayed;-)
