Those bastards!


Well, recent evidence suggests that children under the age of 8 should not have pieces of equipment in their mouth due to a choking hazard.


Yea, diapers can be pretty convenient and cost effective too.
Ok, ok. This was uncalled for. Funny, but uncalled for none the less. My appologies to our CAP brother. It's been a long week and the SWOness was coming out in me. No excuse, but it happens sometimes.

My margarita glass is full with a nicely salted rim and freshly squeezed lime to add a little kick.

Got me some Oasis wine in front of me. Straight from Virginia.

I'm glad to see that it's not ok to bash CAP. While they may not be "real military", they are the official Auxiliary of the Air Force. As such they do abide by most Air Force regulations, including those covering uniforms, courtesies and customs. As for the ages of the members, the vast majority of CAP members are over 40, with many of those being retired military. And diapers? While some of the very older members may need them, I doubt any cadet would since the minimum age is 12.

BTW, free trivia: During WWII, the CAP attacked 57 subs, sinking or damaging at least two. I guess the "real military" isn't the only group that gets to play with bombs...

I'd be drinking now, but for some reason the skeds office here decided it was necessary to put me down for 2 sims on Saturday, but none on Friday. :eek: Oh well, at least I'm not in the AF. :icon_smil

If you can't take the heat get out of the wardroom. :D My contribution to keeping this thread on track: What ever happened to the Navy wanting to have some of it's own identity? Let's be proud to be sailors and wear a uniform that reflects that. The Naval service is about the tradition of the seas, I say we go forward into the 21st century with a real uniform set:

Pictures in order are the working uniform for E-6's and below, Chiefs, SWO Officers, for the SWO ladies, Aviators, and, of course, the working uniform for A4's:
