Does the active duty and Air National Guard/reserve screen officers for mental defect?
Witnes | 21 Dec 2011 | Racehorse

Posted on 12/21/2011 3:28:19 PM PST by Racehorse

I was just getting my hair cut at the Lackland AFB (now something called a joint base) when this guy in a leather flight jacket . . . probably from the National Guard or the Air Force reserves next door . . . challenges his femsle barber . . . "Do you smoke?"

This pissy officer explains, barbers smoke and he can't stand the smell of tobacco smoke on their breath as they cut his hair.

But, he can smell and enjoy the scent of JP-4.

This flying officer needs to be identified and removed from flying status . . . or removed from training and discharged.

I’d rather smell JP-4 than the stench of a cigarette on someone’s breath six inches from my face.

I don't know. I spent a week on an aircraft carrier and the smell of JP-5 was everywhere, in your clothes, in your skin, everywhere. I had to wash my clothes many times to get that stench out of them. Yuk!

Thsnk you for archiving this list of fools who think nobody else ever worked with JP Fuel.

Must be a Ron Paul strain of insanity.

I’m a retired officer, and this is a waste of bandwidth. Try to be more civil and less threatening, it just brings out your immaturity.

Smoking makes you a lion, does it? Interesting.

You need to clarify your post. It’s nonsensical. Are you trying to state that I’m a sheep because I’d rather smell JP-4 than someone’s stench filled mouth? If you’d rather smell a human’s stench filled mouth than you are just one weird asshole.

You’re kidding me, right?

Msybe a waste of bandwitdh, I agree.

First time I’ve seen anything from a block of retired (Reserve or Regular) officers was an admonish to back off, be less threatening, and be more civil.

Because . . . “just brings out your immaturity.”

Bullshit.

Okay, I don’t know you, never served with you, never served under any doctrine you authored.

I have no idea who you are and whast gives your screen nsme the pretense the leeway to advocate anything.

“I’d rather smell JP-4 than the stench of a cigarette on someone’s breath six inches from my face.”


You are definitely NOT part of The Greatest Generation. You wouldn’t have survived the war because of the smell of the butts.

Garlic is what turns me off.

Kimchi sucks too, especially when it’s combined with the morning after stench of heavy boozing. I can hack it, I just have my druthers, and no, I’m not 80 years old.
