Look at all the chair force coming out of the wood work on this thread, all those women sure do get rattled easily. And yes, I know what a crew chief is. They do all of the shitty jobs on the aircraft, we call them brown shirts in the Navy and are usually the lowest ranking airmen in the squadron, the Air force just glorifies the job and calls them "Crew Chiefs"

Your self-esteem is that low that you feel the need to brag about deployments and berate fellow soldiers? You're not winning forumquest here, especially in server chat. You're just making yourself look like a colossal douchebag.

Is that like being a Team Leader in KFC?

I jest of course. I'm ex British Army and my dad was in the Royal Navy. Its worse for soldiers nowadays because when they come home from a tour of duty they're not given much respect and ever moreso public opinion is we shouldnt be fighting in other countries. More than that, the muslims protest when soldiers parade through the streets sometimes.

Spare a thought for the kids who were shit academically at school and chose to serve Queen and country instead. I'd buy them all a drink.

I got paid to sit on a horse. Managed to meditate at the same time etc [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm guessing you are not at the academy? I was there this weekend for the Airforce/Army game.

Anyways I did the ROTC thing a few years ago and while the airforce was practicing carrying "spears" or guidons, we landed 2 UH60s on the soccer field at ASU and took off for missions outside of Phoenix and then triumphantly returned by that afternoon. It was funny because the Airforce ROTC was doing a recruitment field day, I'm pretty sure the rotor wash of those UH60 turned a few potential recruit's heads to the Army that day.

There's not really a need to bash the services, but when you're in one, it's hard not to have pride for your own service and sort of look at the cushy lifestyle of the Airforce with some degree of contempt.

The South Koreans might have something to say about that. Of course, the Korean conflict isn't nicknamed the "forgotten war" for no reason.

The other style of wars the US so often finds itself in are nothing new. During the first decades of the twentieth century there was something of a running joke in the press that the U.S. Army was little more than the militarized arm of the United Fruit Company. Fact is the U.S. has been in a state of almost constant conflict since the Spanish-American war, at least. Instead of blaming Bush, blame McKinley.

I've got a few friends you'd fit right in with. They were all in the military. I guess you learn more when you are paid to keep your mouth shut.

Im guessing you were not tough enough to join a real branch of the military. Air force is the laughing stock of active duty military branches.

Pretty sure the air force is a real branch of the military bro....I mean they have a website and everything check it out
