No more Weed?

All loyal traditionalists as I suspected. Maybe you should have joined the navy. Then you could drink your sissy liqueur nude while crossing the equator.
Oh and I'm not so sure the story of a phantom driver hamfisting his jet into the ground and getting his ass saved by a WSO, then getting sh!t faced with a fat bearded man while drunk driving to a crater in Nevada is quite worthy of being "fabled" or of legendary status. Forgive me for questioning this grand tradition.
Roll call - that's a good tradition. Drinking whisky - perfect. Songs - great fun. But everybody agrees JW is sh!t. How hard would it be to make Jack the official fighter pilot drink? Just bring out a General at your next roll call instead of the weed you keep IN THE FREEZER!?!

By the way I heard that Jeremiah and Jack knew each other way back when. They both moved to Tennessee chasing the daughter of a rich farmer. Her name was Betty and she had it going. She really liked Jack - he was a real gentleman. But she couldn't resist Jeremiah's "bad-boy" image. That all changed when she came home one day and found Jeremiah trying on her underwear in her room. The town rose up and threw Jeremiah out. He went to Kentucky where he took a great drink (Bourbon Whiskey) and made a Liqueur out of it - which he sold from his florist shop.

Drink real whisky!
Cheers

You can't seriously say weed is your favorite bourbon. It's a bourbon Liqueur....not exactly the type of beverage a killer is known for.

Did I not say exactly that in post #2? All I did was confuse Jafar. I was trying to be gentle with him and suggest that he could like Weed and still have a favorite beverage that was really bourbon. Bottom line dude: If JW is really your favorite bourbon-type drink - you REALLY need to get out more and give some actual good stuff a try.

I'm not going to side with malterf15 on this one. I think JW, Jack, Jim, and all the other Gents can co-exist in any fighter squadron bar. It's tradition and most of the time dudes are drinking JW it's as a punishment for some infraction in the bar or it's time to name a new-guy. You might be able to find a few odd balls who actually like the stuff. I don't. When I drink really good bourbon, I enjoy it. When I drink JW, it's usually because I screwed up.

Jafar, try Booker's, Maker's Mark or Knob Creek as a start. Don't mix it and ruin it either. Just sip it on the rocks. The only downside is, the next time you have to drink JW, it'll be more like the punishment it should be.

It is purely tradition, and nothing more. It is also easier to get wives and girlfriends drunk because of the sweetish taste.

All in good fun boys.

Adler - good list, good advice about no mixing. Also try Ridgemont Reserve, an outstanding bourbon.
Bernheim also makes a Wheat Whiskey that is very interesting.

Gorilla - weed for the ladies? Never see before.

Okay, now I'm beginning to understand what I started here...

You see, I was introduced to Weed while I was an enlisted Marine on Ft. Knox at Tank school. I had no idea at that time that it had some big sub-culture thing in the Air Force. Now that I'm in the Air Force I have learned all about pilots drinking it and so forth. Frankly, I just like the stuff. When I get my pilot slot, (App is in, know in a couple months...) I'm sure I'll drink even more of it.

If it makes me a pu$$y, so be it. Call me the pu$$y who drinks the cheap a$$ 100 proof Bourbon "liqueur."

Yeah, I've had all the whiskeys, like them too. Weed rules. Some guys like Rothchilds Vodka and Thunderbird, too, you know? :beer:

Is "Military" the best Forum on flightinfo.com, or what?! I love this stuff!!!

It was rare, but it happened, especially visitors, ROTC students, etc. We never told them it was 1/2 pure alcohol. Weed does not taste like it's 100 proof, and definitely doesn't seem like it packs the punch it does, until it's too late!

Buy some brake fluid, tastes the same and you can use it to tune up the brakes on yer car.

My squadron bar has some MIG29 radar coolant fluid for "special occasions".
