The Air Force Song is definitely better than the other branches' respective jingles. Unless we're counting the true Navy theme song as sung by The Village People. Edit: about to leave Diego Garcia for another tour at Elmo. It's been grand, and I look forward to the crippling alcoholism and divorce my beach stay gave me to remember it. My going away currently consists of: - Several coolers of beer and liquor - A ton of homemade Filipino food - A live band - Slip-n-slide jury rigged from tarps and dish soap - 10 pounds of Holi powder to paste folks with after the slip-n-slide - A carton of cigarettes - A pack of magnums If it's going to be my last Saturday here, it's gonna be the stupidest Saturday ever. I look forward to telling you guys about my pending SARC complaints next week. Wild T fucked around with this message at 02:26 on May 21, 2016 |

Remember when we hung out at the porch at Pete's place in 2012? That was neat. Congrats/condolences on your divorce. Are the magnums for the giant strap on you take with you? Being pegged is awesome, after all. lite_sleepr fucked around with this message at 15:20 on May 19, 2016 |

Probable murder of a 20 year-old Japanese woman by a former Marine on Okinawa. Ditched the body in the woods. gently caress this gay earth.

Okinawa was cool but it was ruined by idiots. I remember walking off base on a Saturday night and some drunk rear end in a top hat was just yelling loving japs at locals. I was embarrassed to be of the same nationality (more so than usual).

Ughh. I liked the food and culture it was genuinely interesting to me to have exposure to foreign culture. Then again as an Air Force brat I spent 6 years of my childhood in USAFE with parents who took advantage of it. We took weekend trips about every month to Prague, Rome, etc. I never understood the people who just sat around the smokepit, drank lovely beer and complained about Japan. They never actually saw the place. I guess my biggest regret of my time there is that I didn't cultivate friendships with locals.

Ah Marines ruining things. Reminds me of the curfew and lockdown we had at Osan when an Army guy saw "his" juicy hanging around with another guy at a bar (also known as "doing her job") and decided stabbing her 8-9 times in an alley after work would suffice as punishment for her betrayal.

What is it with people loving things up in Japan? Five years in USAFE, and we never had a lockdown for bad behavior. I mean, I know the easy answer is "lol Marines," but there's got to be more than just that.

While I've been deployed to Moron AB in Spain (as AF) off and on over the last 3 years, I've seen the Marines there banned from the shuttle buses to Moron and Sevilla because they couldn't stop puking on them. So they started charted buses for the Marines to take them into town. That stopped when they were restricted to base after climbing onto rooftops in Sevilla and ripping AC units off buildings and throwing them into the street. Of course being restricted to base didn't stop these courageous warrior leaders. They simply started a riot at the base club resulting in a base wide Marine lock down. Local leadership was wise enough to isolate punishment to the Marines.

It was right on the main drag. I was only in their twice. The food was alright. The second time was supposed to be to bring a guy back so he didn't have to pay for a cab, which turned into an hour of listening to white trash karaoke because he wasn't done drinking yet.

Landstuhl bars are to Ramstein as bar row was to Yokota, which is to say they are the sump which collects the undesirable so they don't make it any further through the area. Thanks for existing, lovely bar row area!

Air Force caved on Course 14/15 deadlines. Airmen who bust the 12 month completion deadline will still have until 2017 to complete the courses before they're in danger of losing a line/being denied reenlistment. I was legit hoping to see what would happen what more than half the enrolled NCOs busted their suspense.

Yeah I have a bunch of dummies in my areas that are super happy and excited about the extension. All I know is come November most of them are going to be in the same predicament as they are now. Just proves the AF screwed up royally with Course 15 or your average NCO is just a functioning retard, probably a combo of both in all actuality.

I know for a fact that Course 3 isn't that hard but they still had to lower the pass rate to 65%. I only studied that thing when taking a poo poo.

You still might see it happen in some of the more "blue" wings. The WG/CC has full authority in those matters and they've already proven they'll ignore the CSAF when it comes to setting differentiators.

Looks like I might be going TAD to Al Udeid CAOC for a month while on deployment. I'm a Navy officer. Any tips and tricks and things to take advantage of? I've never operated in an Air Force environment before. Are trips outside the base allowed?

There is paperwork you have to fill out and one or two briefings you need to attend, but I know people in our deployment went on one day trips downtown. Naturally, its at the discretion of your commander.

I'm a Navy officer. only if you're arranging "business deals" to bring more ships to port for real though downtown qatar is kind of a nightmare for anyone capable of perceiving what a country with too much money and literal slavery would look like, but the souqs are nice at least and there's some good waterfront restaurants. Plus near the base is a big "migrant worker" area and there's some excellent cheap food available. Don't go to the waterpark, if it's even allowed. Take full advantage of nobody knowing what you do by telling people what you want them to do. Usually they'll do it!

Also, a co-worker I sort of don't care for made MSgt. What's the feeling you get when someone you don't think should get something gets it? I wouldn't call it jealousy yet because I'm not eligible to test for master until next year, but it's definitely something. I worry for any future troops because she has the mentality of blanket punishments are good for sections, folks who are separated for PT failures shouldn't get honorables, and other kinds of broad strokes to paint a whole picture way of thinking. e: It's depression.
