The new future Navy

[Blue Oval/Dan Edwards]

I received this pic in an e-mail from a friend of mine with the below copy
in the body of the e-mail. I'm not political and do not intend for this post
to be political but rather, the humor of the photo.
Enjoy,
Dan Edwards

Things That Will Keep You Up at Night


As one of her first official acts as president, Hillary Clinton revealed her
vision for the future of US military capability.

I laughed my ass off !!!

Like you I could care less about the political aspects, the humor is
what makes the picture worthwhile. (....and without a political slant
of some sort to go with it the photo merely depicts military fighter
pilots doing what they do best, acting foolish.) I have seem similar
treatment of photos with both conservative and liberal slants and no
matter my personal feelings about the particular 'party' or
'individual' find it interesting that people can instantly add a
caption to make it funny.

I spent 20 years in the Air Farce as an aircraft mechanic on fighters
and a photo like that one would always get pasted on the bulliten
board (or **** house wall) with an interesting caption.

Thanks for the laugh,

Stayfree

Stayfree,
Glad you enjoyed the photo! I'm former Air Force too. Was in the Munitions
field (46150) AMMO!!! But we were better known as "B.B. Stackers". Only did
4 years though, from 11 July 72 to 9 July 76. What aircraft did you get to
work on?

I'm going to surmise that these guys are going to have to pull down their
zippers and release the hook about mid plane...

Dan,

I was in from 1970 until 1990 and was a "bugger hooker" {APG/Crew
Chief/Plane Captain/etc} 43171C {1 & 2 engine Jets} providing stable
platforms from which to dispense the BB's and other assorted items of
destruction and mayhem.

Birds that survived my maintenance include:

F-4C/D/E{proof that with sufficient engine thrust a ****house door
will fly}

T-33 {old but reliable and easy to keep aloft}

A-7D {my personal favorite}

C-118 {SCATBACK - my punishment for arriving in Thailand direct from
'Nam with a dose of the clap and providing no end of embarrasment to
the Base Commander, the Ambasador, The President, The King, and
probably Jesus Christ his ownself judging for the way everyone
reacted}

T-39 {sweet duty with SCATBACK}

C-47 {****ed someone off again}

F-15 {proof that if you install enough engine a complete ****house can
accelerate in a vertical climb}

T-38 {Damn those intakes were tighter than a young virgins ...}

Worked on a Russian IL-18 while assigned to Transient Maintenance at
Tan Son Nhut, a couple of helicopters helping out, and other assorted
machines.

I also did a stint at Sheppard as a Technical Instructor and served
from time to time as the "official scrounger" for several outfits.

20 years of moving, no home equity and wouldn't trade the things I saw
and did for all the money my brothers now make.

What's very funny is that, in French, "Farce" means "Joke". So, with the
picture, I can see what "Air Farce" means !
;-))))

That's quite a resume'!!! And you've mentioned a couple of my favorites like
the F-4 Phantom II (had the D models at Kunsan AB when I was there 74 to
75) and the A-7 Corsair (also D models at Davis-Monthan when I was there in
1975 and then brought in the A-10's).
There are times when I wish I had stayed in for 20 but I believe that
everybody who gets out after only 4 years says the same thing.
