Also maybe those other branches 'make fun' because the Air Force hasn't had a movie parody them. The Army has plenty of parodies (Sgt. Bilko, In the Army Now, Ernest in the Army [*shudder*], etc.) Navy too (McHale's Navy).

On the other hand, I can't think of any serious Air Force movies, either. I wonder if you asked the Man on the Street (tm) to name an Air Force movie, how many would pick Top Gun?

I'm going to vent for a sec.

Sometimes I hate that I'm in the Air Force. It enver bothered me until I became attached to an Army Unit but now I hate it. I was at a medal ceremony earlier. (One of my squadmates and I recieved one) There was an H-60 Blackhawk and an OH-58 Kiowa there for photo ops. All these Air force people gathered around the helos like they had never seen one. They were taking pictures and getting all excited and I remember thinking "What the hell, you people are Air Force and youre getting excited over helicopters." Makes me understand why all the other branches of service make fun of us.

Ok, done venting. Wow, I've really gotten bitchy in my old age.

It's because flying in a copter (expecially a black hawk) is more bad ass then flying in a jet and everyone knows it. I bet you each and every one of those air force flyboys were envisioning themselves strapping big ass speakers to the copter and flying into falluja with guns blazing while they were taking pictures of that copter. Hell, I would.

Personally, I love Top Gun. I'm anxiously awaiting my Blu-Ray order of it sometime in early April.

Flying in a helicopter has a higher fatality chance than flying in an ordinary plane. Not sure if you knew that.

I believe you owed us one story about why you love your squad mates.

We have bets on opiate supplying and mini-van acquiring. Care to enlighten us?

Oh yes, I guess I do. First of all let me say in all honesty that The list of things my squad is good at is very long but recon is very near the top of that list. We can really be ninjas when we need to. So my squadmates se me going gaga over this Army helo pilot. ( One of them did make a good point when I said I'd be discreet. They asked how discreet can two over-six foot hot women be when walking together.) The do some recon behind my back and find out where she is, with which unit and even which specific Balckhawk she flies. My Squadleader then decided I need more training on our air-assault techniques. (Air-assault is repelling down ropes from a helicopter) He even manages to get me hooked-up with Rebecca's (The hot army pilot) Blackhawk for the training. (They told me all of this as I was giggling like a schoolgirl a couple days ago) To top it all off it was her Blackhawk at the ceremony today and they introduced me and we had coffee and talked for two hours. We actually have a lot on common. While I didnt come right out and ask her if she likes women I dont think I hid the fact that I did and I flirted a lot. She didnt shy away in the least and we're meeting for lunch tomorrow. I get to spend all day with her on Sunday training even though I'll be in constant pain. (I'm betting rappelling with broken fingers will really hurt) In any case My boys take such good care of me and I really love them for it. So Goldmoon is currently an Amazon on cloud nine!

Wow, that's kind of a downer.

I did. That's why it's bad ass.

I can't resist....

You're going to ride on her blackhawk... oh yeah....
