They should bring back red cell teams to piss off the brass when their realize their carefully drafted PowerPoint slides about security procedures are useless.

Bring back Marcinco so he can get super drunk, capture a general, and piss in his face while water boarding him.

Thanks, brotha'. I was drunk as gently caress when I watched it, glad to see it held up. In return, here are some Nazis with cats. http://naziswithcats.tumblr.com/

Why bother when Hill Dawg puts up the secrets on the web? Still it would be cool to see red cell steal a nuke.

A condition of being promoted to general should be that a random enlisted man pisses on your face once a month.

I didn't do a lot of Navy ops. The official name for "the thing you screw on the tip of the boom so that the Navy can use it" is the Boom Drogue Adapter. Navy guys call it the "Iron Maiden" and hate it. In addition to the turbulence issues mentioned earlier, all the pod-based systems and the integrated hose on the KC-10 use soft Kevlar baskets that make for much less rough contacts, while the BDA is all metal. The BDA beats up the probe too; on jets with weaker probes, sometimes it would rip the tip off if they disconnected wrong. Usually we would mail it back, but we kept a tip that apparently no one wanted in the squadron bar. There was a whole list of aircraft with caveats and restrictions about when they would use the BDA. The funniest thing I've ever seen was a missed contact where the pilot accidentally knocked the basket with his probe, sending it swinging out to starboard, where it attempted to weathervane into the relative wind, and came swinging back into the side of his cockpit. The whole jet rolled sideways a little bit, probably out of a combination of the impact and the pilot flinching on the controls. It looked hilarious and awkward.

How do the MPRS basket and turbulence handling compare?

They still do a little of this. I remember one Red Flag in particular, they had some dudes gather all kinds of "intel" like comm cards, other draft documents, frequency allocations, etc just by checking empty offices and asking people questions. In their slideshow, during the exercise debrief where they show how easy it was, they had a picture of two of their guys sitting in the front seats of our loving jet. :doh:

Don't know, never really cared either. MPRS is tasked based on mission needs, not receiver preference. I assume that the longer hose and softer basket make for a nicer ride though.

I can't believe someone released three pigs like this and didn''t paint 1, 2 and 4 on them.

Back then they probably dealt with that by having the marine guards shoot them and then deliver them to the cook.

I was convinced that was around 1993 or so but it turns out it was, by less than two months, still within the Cold War.

My god-father joined the Army in 74 because the car parts warehouse he was working at was rumored to be shutting down and he thought getting a new job in Southern New Jersey was gonna suck so he just enlisted.

When he retired in 96, the warehouse was still open.

My uncle was stationed at Ramstein during 'Nam and was guarding imaginary B-52's in the middle of the tarmac and caught one of those dudes. He was sleeping on post and the guy got his pants caught on the fence and yelped when he fell head first onto the ground, so he gets startled awake and draws down on this dude about to blow him the gently caress away because he's half awake and probably hungover. He was promptly promoted for "catching" the dude, and promptly demoted like two weeks later for getting belligerently drunk.
