Believe me I know.

The grunts that are bitching are the ones that want to keep everything the same. You can’t bullshit a bullshitter.

America’s military is the most prepared, physically fit, happy force in the world. They trade in their Nike’s for Combat Boots in a moments notice.

They also get killed because the world is not nice.
I have had enough of folks telling me that the Tactical Air Command of the USAF isn’t up to speed.

Rant off.

Big one was AFSC 30372. Our Squadron was reactivated in the late 60’s.

It was destroyed in 1951 by N. Korea.

Anyone who doesn’t know what life is like in the Air Force doesn’t realize how traumatic this can be them.


I’m retired Air Force (enlited thirty years ago) and spent a lot of time with the Army, deployed or in field conditions.

I learned quickly to keep a few rolls sealed in zip lock bags.

Maybe the toilet paper distributor will be nationalized!

The could have used the Denver Post for toilet paper. Why not? It’s already full of leftist crap.

I’ve spent the night on Air Force bases several times as a soldier and really had my eyes opened to how they live. Anyone who doesn’t know what life is like in the Air Force doesn’t realize how traumatic this can be them.

LOL! I spent 24 years in the AF and had occasion to visit some Army/Marine installations - oh-so right that the AF might be traumatized by lack of TP. Back in the day some of your chow halls were superior though.

On my final deployment, before we boarded the C130 at the terminal in al Udeid, I took a group of young Airman aside and pointed to the bathrooms. I told them, “use it now. You don’t know how long it’s gonna be before you see another porcelin pot.” Several hours later we were on a remote) landing strip and one of my guys had to hike about 100 yards from the plane (being refuled from a tanker truck) to a blue port-a-potty.
