Dead Reckoning posted:If I had my way, I'd be the "Warthog" or the "Boyd", just to gently caress with certain people. Boyd is a very correct answer. Warthog is also not bad at all. I personally want to go with the devil dog though.

I'm surprised no one's suggested this one yet. The Platypus. Think about it. The platypus seems to be a questionably failed attempt by nature at making a 'multirole' mammal. Tons of poo poo on it that are perfect fits for more specialized species, but somehow nature thought it smart to pack all that poo poo onto a single animal.

F-35 Lightning II - "We're all you got!" "We're all you got!" became the motto of a maintenance company in a unit I used to be in after a commander gave this very flippant response to the BN commander in response to the BC being pissed about their performance.

For names that crews give an airplane, you'd expect something straightforward and derogatory, like "pig" or "dog." Pigdog?

Scratch Monkey posted:I was gonna say this too The Bundeswehr of 1990 was an actually capable force. This is what happens when you spend 25 years heming and hawing about joining any combat missions because of your history, while half the country is an economic development zone and you have no serious opponent anywhere near your borders. Saying out loud that Germany has any interests in the world that might require it to become active militarily is a political death sentence. When the German government deployed a number of paratroopers to cover an evacuation of German oil workers during the Libyan Civil War, the first response by the opposition was to challenge the constitutionality of that decision in court.

NTSB released the initial reports of the Bagram 747 crash from 2013 last month; apparently the crew found broken straps during their inspection and were considering delaying the flight until they made sure all the cargo was adequately secured.  quote:CAM-1 http://dms.ntsb.gov/public%2F57000-57499%2F57043%2F567193.pdf Party Plane Jones fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Feb 20, 2015 |
