If you went over to the OR
and walked into the building in BDU's, EVERYBODY looked
down at you.

I'll have to take your word for it, but I find it hard to believe. I
thought more highly of our young enlisted folks than I did many of our
young officers.

Not to say that it never happens. Like anywhere, I met my share of
outstanding folks, and real idiots.

AWACS and JWACS squadrons have very few pilots, and you would be
hard pressed to find them in the sea of other positions. I think it's
these
other positions that you may have identified as being BDU sensitive.


You're right of course. A few minutes to clear my head and re-read the
posts can do wonders for my comprehension (but not for my ego).
But there were also the folks who really believed in the hard-crew concept,
and they stuck together like rats on a ship (sorry, Navy).

If there's one kind of people we all liked to bail out of jail, it was the
crew chief's and cooks.

Course now, I've only been TDY to Tinker twice in my life, but I never saw
so many enlisted crew dogs in my life. The gomers were everywhere.


Not hard, considering a typical crew. The number of back-enders far
outweigh the flight crew, and it seems like more and more them are enlisted.
As a rule, the only ones we (maintenance) got along with were the ones that
we worked with (i.e. Radar troops and the Airborne Radar Techs, the com/nav
folks and the Comm Techs, etc.)
