Phantom Falcon, SASS # 46139

She wasn't nominated due to her intelligence or competence. She was nominated because of her sex and color. PF

Carrier qualification is called "hitting the boat". PF

Loretta was right then too! PF Reba is right you know! PF

He thinks he is but I disagree! PF

I was stationed at NAS Point Mugu from 1976-1979. In that short period of time I determined that CA was not a place I ever wanted to live. Only 2 things I could say nice about the place was the weather was decent and if you could get away from the huddled masses, the scenery was beautiful. In 79 I was transferred to Yuma and have lived here ever since. At first we would often visit San Diego, especially in the summer for cooler weather and good seafood. Then we stopped that when they started getting really weird. As soon as I cross into KA, I am a felon by definition and I resent that. I don't believe in asking anyone's permission to buy anything. When I retired from Continental, I let my passport lapse as I didn't want the hassle of renewing it. Since I believe KA to be a foreign country, I don't go there anymore at all. PF

One of the reasons recruitment has gone to hell in a handcar. There are others just as bad if not worse. Joe really doesn't care.

Another man pretending to be a woman! PF

That ain't no woman; it's a man pretending to be a woman. Democrats always think that the military needs every type of weirdo in the world for whatever reason. They don't give a damn about combat readiness. One of the reasons military recruitment has gone to hell in a handcar. There are others! PF

You have to remember the Air Force is a paramilitary organization. They are prima donnas when it comes to amenities. Air Force enlisted would consider the CO's cabin aboard ship to be substandard. I hated it when I was Airfield Ops O at Yuma and the AF would come to town. They would drive to El Centro to sleep in a motel rather than bunk in the base BOQ. PF

Seabees and Docs are a Marine's favorite sailors. PF

Concur, Forty, but he would never be a commander in today's woke military. Competence has no place in biden and austin's DOD. He's the wrong sex, wrong color, wrong sexual orientation and wrong sexual identity. PF

That's the refueling basket, probably from a KC-130. You can see his refueling probe hooked to the basket. Something broke and he'll have to land with that thing. There's a small fitting in the basket that the probe fits into and it grips the probe. It's purpose its to keep one plugged in as the receiver moves in and out. If he tries to retract the probe, he's liable to break something else. When you are ready to disengage, you back off and when you reach the length that the tanker sets, the probe pops out of the basket and away you go.

I have, a few times. PF

I thought it came from the Clydesdales! PF

Well, it's true. Biden only cares about filling boxes. Knowledge, intelligence, experience mean nothing to him. Just look at all the other idiots he has around him. Even the obama carryovers are box fillers. PF
