I don't know that anyone here is dumb enough to do heroin, then again everyone on base got tested twice last year after several failures. I did here a story about some idiot who vocally contemplated smuggling a revolver back to tone US by hiding within an F-16 body, so maybe heroin isn't that far off.

Really, if you're not using sovereign instrumentalities of the United States to commit various smuggling and trafficking offenses, why are you even on the flightline?

This poo poo happened all the time according to the few flightline guys I knew. True or not, I would think shooting up heroin and banging a junkie instead of going to drill seems like a bigger thing to me.

ANG's got a lock on that, too. quote:On the way back, their plane stopped at a United States military base in Germany. The two guardsmen went to a hotel room near the base and picked up packages containing thousands of tablets of MDMA, the hallucinogenic stimulant nicknamed Ecstasy, according to the authorities. Officials declined to name the base, saying that the investigation by American and German authorities was still under way. Hmmm... An unnamed Air Base in Ramstein that has C-5 traffic routinely. Probably doesn't rhyme with Mamstein. quote:Sergeant Fong, who lives in Manhattan, confessed to the agents that he had made three earlier shipments of Ecstasy pills from Germany on military flights, and said he was paid $10,000 for each trip, according to the complaint. Captain Rodriguez told the agents that he took the bags of pills to his apartment in the Bronx for distribution, the authorities said. drat it, even when it comes to selling drugs officers hog all the credit.

Yeah, that's the story I was thinking of. Depending on the country, sometimes you can just get off the jet, catch a bus to billeting, then walk off base to a bar. I was a little shocked at the level of trust. Christ, I hate some of the people in the Air Force. Unimaginative, reactionary, latch on to the first though that crosses their mind. "Well, I heard you've been having problems, so I've already decided what I'm going to do about it."

When I flew military air the customs guy barely even set foot in the plane. A bunch of us had wine and stuff in our backpacks which we thought was kosher until being told otherwise, but then the loadmasters just went and put it in the back of the plane for us. I also had a bunch of sealed up cheese in my backpack that the German guys at the passenger terminal missed because they didn't rifle through that pocket. I know of at least several of the people on that flight who brought Cuban cigars back, so a bag of ecstasy isn't exactly out of the question. You could probably get away with quite a lot which everyone is aware of, and leadership isn't going to crack down on it because they're

One of the customs agents at Tinker used to be AWACS aircrew. He's a goddamned prick because he's got enough authority now (vs when he was an A1C/SrA) to gently caress with people. And he likes to.

I was a little shocked at the level of trust. The RTAF would regularly bring fresh eggs, veggies, and uncooked meat in with them to Flags (plus a literal 463L full of nothing but booze). The CBP dude always just poked his head in the Herc and went "welp, looks good to me, enjoy Alaska!" Then loving customs at Man-rear end seized the chock my guys had customized for me at Kandahar because it had "unpainted wood" (the bottom of it was beat to poo poo because the chock in question was a real no-kidding flightline chock that they had painted my name and some other stuff on and embedded a coin in.) But conversely both times I came back from Korea I basically brought half a liquor store of soju back with me and both times the CBP guys saw my ID and that I was on orders and just waved me through, massive mo-bags and all.

I was bullshitting with the customs guys at Kandahar a lot since I shared a smokepit with them. The highlights I can remember of the weird poo poo they'd find: - Tons of dildos/buttplugs/fleshlights in various configurations - A bag of (presumably) human teeth - A printed binder full of furry porn - An Army dude who forgot a live grenade in a pouch until it rolled out onto the floor with the pin prepulled and nothing holding the spoon on but electrical tape because I heard that's how operators do Customs has to be the perfect mix of boring, tedious work combined with the most  moments every now and then.

Not sure how tape is easier/faster/operatorer than just a safety pin but that does sound like a pretty straight forward EOD procedure if you're missing the pin. So maybe he thinks doing what EOD does is operator or something? Sharp cookie right thur

I saw the Brits on Diego Garcia almost bring the Queen's law down on some ATOC folks for trying to take coral off of the island. Other than one time I can remember I've never even had to remove baggage from a mil aircraft when flying TDY.

For some reason every plane that's flown from Cuba direct to Travis has had customs waived. I wonder how many crew and pax bags are just loving stuffed with cigars and rum.

So maybe he thinks doing what EOD does is operator or something? Sharp cookie right thur It's suppose to be the cool tactical thing to do. Essentially the school of thought is that it'll 1) make the grenade quieter without the pin banging around on it, 2) prevent accidental snagging and killing yourself or others, especially in booby-trapped rooms where there could be trip mines for IEDs and such. I never got grenades in Afghanistan, so I'm just going by word of mouth.

There are some Las Vegas AF goons here, right? Because I have a question about Nellis: WTF is that smell? Sometimes Craig Rd (outside family housing) and the main gate on the O'Callaghan hospital side smell like they are surrounded by a moat of hog poo poo. What is that

lol Now I feel kinda bad about making fun of the smell. Dependents can't help it if all their housing comes with a Porta Potty instead of indoor plumbing. Never actually seen that part of base but I assume that's what's going on over there.
