Military Traditions

[Keydet]

Hugh,

I was in 47 out there in K'bay not too long ago and I also made it a point to listen to Kapono on the lanai every Sunday, mai tai in hand. Is that live album available online? I've got one of his previous ones that has most of the songs he played during his Sunday Duke's appearances. If you could let me know how to get a copy of this latest album, I'd appreciate it.

You know, everytime the Navy versus Air Force issue comes up, I find their respective Hollywood representations to be the classic test:


Navy---Top Gun

Air Force--Iron Eagle 1, 2, 3.....

Good point. As far as TV goes, Ya gotta hand it to "I dream of Jeannie"

But what about McHale's Navy? Or CPO Sharkey? Actually, though, when you think about Hollywood and the military, there are some great flicks out there.

Midway
Failsafe
Tora, Tora, Tora
In Harm's Way
Dr. Strangelove

And many, many, others.

Okay, okay, you got me with JAG. But aside from the ascots, the Iron Eagle trilogy, and always having their flightsuit sleeves rolled down, what is up with the Air Force types playing crud? What a colossal waste of a pool table.

I was told by one of our '60 drivers that Air Force and Navy pilots frequently transferred into the Army, but that it was very difficult to go the other way...they apparently thought anyone who'd joined the Army was tainted with stupidity

Having flown with many AF guys I can tell you that the Army does not have a corner on the market of stupidity.

Okay, that is going too far......Crud is complete greatness

Yeah, when I went to P-cola, I thought it was cool to be able to wear the flightsuit however I wanted.......... until they told me I couldn't get out of my car to get gas if I was wearing it off base.

I've got to agree with you about the crud thing, though. I never really saw much point to it.

 

[YeOldeProp]

Okay...this oughta be interesting. There's gotta be a couple dozen youngsters out there that are trying to figure out what Crud is...but area afraid to ask. Can't wait to see the vets give a description, rules interpretation, justification and all the other stuff to describe to those who've never seen it in real life...everyone grab a cold one, this should be something!

Crud: Pansy without the coordination to put cue to cueball to ball to hole takes ball and tries to put it directly in pocket using hand while equally uncoordinated pansy pushes him to make it interesting. (boring until the wives get involved and pilots end up on the Colonel's carpet for drinking and cussing....in a bar). That's about all I could ever make of it.

 

[Keydet]

The one thing crud IS good for is that the line at the bar is short to nonexistent thanks to the AF types making their grab-a$$ antics around the pool table.

navy flt suit rules.....

Yeah, the AF are queers for ironing their bags. Nothing you can do about that. But if you are Navy and you're sweating that public flight suit rule or you haven't been out there at a bar drinking at noon in your bag, start ironing.
