Rep Power: 263 | | | Terry? Ever see a uniformed Bus Driver? Now compare THAT to your Husband's dress uniform. LOL
Air Force is the best Civilians in the military. A friend of mine had a brother in law that was our rank in the Air Force, we were all on Okinawa together. One day we got to talking and the talk turned to Morning formations. The Air Force guy had no CLUE what a Formation was.
We ask him how he was accounted for for roll call every morning and he replied they did not do roll call and they just looked for him at his desk.

I had one job in the Air Force where I didn't have a roll call, and that was the job they gave me after I was taken off the flight line with pinched nerve problems. All the rest there was a roll call and briefing, and on Fridays it was formation with roll call and a 35-10 inspection. So I wonder what that AF friend of yours did for a job? |

Rep Power: 131 | | | As I said in the earlier "pre-public" post, I am a retired Navy CPO (Corpsman) and my wife is a retired Navy Commander (Nurse Corps). Neither of us saw any combat action while active duty but we both once worked on the surgery ward at Bethesda Naval Hospital taking care of MEDIVACS from Viet Nam back in 1969 to 1971. I appreciate and thank all the vets for their service to our country. For those who received some sort of injury associated with their service, I thank you even more sincerely and deeply.
