At least Fred (shredvector from his MIT days) tries to help people instead of touting himself as being infalible with a list of rules that were done before by others.

That being said, I am a Buckeye. We don't give a d.... 'bout the whole State of GH...

Let us know when you quit your tantrum and want to talk rocketry.

C'mon. This is a sand box post if there ever was one. Look out for cats!

I can't believe they even allow buckeyes in the USAF to clean the latrine. They need a policy change and they need to move WPAFB to a decent state as well.

Wow GH, I was hoping you would get back to talking rockets, but since you brought it up. I cleaned my fair share of latrines and stripped and waxed a lot of floors. My first duty station was Wright-Patterson in Fairborn, OH where I worked on the Hound Dog missile at the 17th Bomb Wing. My daughter was born there. Also served 4 years stationed up at Wurtsmith AFB in Oscoda, MI '79-;83 with the 379th BW (SRAM and ALCM). It is a prison now, which makes good use of the weapons storage area.
Retired here in Fort Worth from the 7th BW (now at Dyess AFB) with SRAM and ALCM after over 21 years service.

How many years did you serve your country GH?

Hound Dog with a W-28 = one megaton of fun!

Chas-

In one post, you have dramatically demonstrated the difference between class and immature goofiness.

Thank you for your service to the country AND the NAR.


Earl

Thank you Earl. I was a Cold Warrior and it is tough to imagine what service members have had to experience with the recent hot wars, not to mention the first responders from NYC to Boston to West, TX. I did spend a while with the Ground Launched Cruise Missile which was the AF playing Army. The closest I got to a hot war was a year in Belgium in 1988 holding back the Commie hordes...

I have a couple of your DVDs. Always good stuff. Ooohhh, we are talking rockets now!

That can't be tolerated here...

Why don't you guys take that rocket talk elsewhere?? You're messing up a perfectly good inane rant and waste of bandwidth in this thread, and talking about rockets is TOTALLY OFF-TOPIC HERE!!!!

LOL

Later! OL JR

I don't mind a good quality thread-jakk.
Thanks for your USAF service Chas at Wurtsmith in Oscoda.
Had a cottage on Cedar Lake just North of Oscoda very close to Wurtsmith until 2009.

There is no prison on the former Wurtsmith AFB that I'm aware of.

It is used as a civilian airport and there is a branch of the "Yankee Air Force" there with a few vintage aircraft (think they have an operational F-86 Sabre and T-6 Texan) and a museum.
Mythbusters filmed several episodes there as at one end of the base Kalitta Air has a large maintenance operation for their 747 cargo aircraft. They used a couple of the 747's to toss around a school bus and a Lincoln with engine thrust on the show.
