I’ve seen this pic before, but I appreciate seeing it again.
I want to paint this scene and hang it over my fireplace haha
“Requiem for a Duck”
I always thought the B58 Hustler was bad ass.
Supersonic bomber!

I was a SNCO also. Ran the cable/antenna shop for about year and a half. Our Squadron Chief decided to show up at one of the antenna sites and was not happy that I was on top of a 110' tower repairing an antenna, while I had Senior Airmen, SSgts and TSgts on the ground...I thought it was a "teachable moment", that I wouldn't ask them to do anything I wouldn't do...I was apparently wrong, as soon as both of my TSgt got line numbers for MSgt, they pulled me out of the shop. Spent 6 months in QA getting the Squadron ready for PACAF inspection, when we passed that with flying colors, they put me in charge of the Project Management shop, stayed there for a little over a year, and moved to Wing HQ IG shop, to run the exercises and inspections...that was actually a cool job. Long hours, my bosses were all fighter pilots. I got to do the A-10 simulator for a going away gift from my A-10 driver boss, that was very cool.
I spent two days setting up this display of some of our unit aircraft in the early 70's.

I give you spudder butts a lot of grief, one for putting me 1K off the DZ... IN THE DAMN TREES.... and second... for taking all the hot females.... but I digress. I am thankful for Mr. Spooky and his sidekick the Warthog. Therefore, I will let you accept your separatist attitude and not remind you that you used to be part of the Army....

You're welcome.
And, as prior Army also, the food, TDY's, housing and well,,, just about everything is better on the Air side.
Life is all about decisions, some choose poorly.
Yes mate, ARDU, Aircraft Research and Development Unit. That pic was taken about 1975 at RAAF Laverton Victoria before we moved to Edinburgh, South Australia. The unit still exists and is about 7 miles from where I now live.
15 crappies makes for a good day......and rough on the mud hole.
Yeah, but our motto was “Nuke ‘em ‘til they glow and shoot ‘em in the dark.”I give you spudder butts a lot of grief, one for putting me 1K off the DZ...

...the best part.
The source of the "old wives tale" and "superstition" about not having a cat around babies. Some of the crazy old shit people used to believe was with good reason.
I had to live with the army for 2 1/2 years…. It was a very unique experience for an Air Force guy in the 1980s....the best part.
I’d get yelled at for being out of uniform… more than once I had to say something like “With respect Command Seargent Major, Air Force regulation 35–10 clearly stipulates the use of a conservative black or blue umbrella with all duty uniforms.” (at that time it was true)
(Literally, the guy starts yelling his ass off at me, and then I say “Air Force,” and the sergeant major immediately change is demeanor like a college professor from Harvard “Oh, I’m terribly sorry, I thought you were an army, numb, nuts. Carry on airman.” Totally surreal….
One time a MP came and harassed me because I wasn’t wearing a hat in the parking lot. Literally walking from my car to the barracks and I had lost my hat in the field. Then the guy in question can’t tell my rank because it’s on my sleeves and he’s totally confused, and attempts to garb my badges out of the pocket on the front of my BDUs. “You don’t have a need to know what’s on those badges. Let me get this straight, you came over here to give me a hard time at 1 o’clock in the morning for not wearing a hat, while walking from my car to the barracks less than 25 yards away? … and it never occurred to you that I might’ve lost my hat? Do you seriously not have anything better to do private?”
Another time… Some pyromaniac army guy lights the fucking barracks on fire, intentionally. … And because I was the one who saw the flames outside the main door, pulled the fire alarm, and ran down the hallway screaming ”fire” to get everybody out of the building, somehow I was the person who started the fire. So then I had to deal with the MPs, asking me ludicrous questions trying to pin the arson on me for some reason… Now, it might’ve been they were unhappy with me because there were a bunch of hot [surprisingly, army] chicks outside in the cold with the rest of us waiting for the building to be cleared before we could go back inside. …and I might’ve had a Fosters Oil Can in my hand that ladies gave me while walking back up to the upper floor, but still.
Now the Marines, I had a lot more fun with Marines. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy some aspects of being with the Army, but the Marines were hard-core and a lot of fun. It sucked for everybody equally….
