One man's comparison of USN and USAF

[Hugh Jorgan]

speaking of "that chick in singapore." I finally found out what the banana is... you gotta be a sick puppy to eat that banana...

Someone has misinformed you, Pat. The banana doesn't have anything to do with that "chick" in Singapore.
I never saw a single AF dude eat the banana in Okinawa... Well, I did hear about the F-15 crew chief eating a different kind of banana and getting caught in Kadena, but that's a different story.

As long as there are tail hooks there will be AF envy!

The AF builds their golf coourses then call congress for runway money. The Navy begs for every cent to keep the ship running.

Heard the USAF charter aims to take all military flying from the Navy. True?

I grew up Navy watching Dad kick Soviet as$..... What a gift.....Thanks...

SCOFF HEAVILY!!

Please, that's such an urban rumor. Just like my buddy who lost his kidney in Vegas.

The AF builds their golf courses then call congress for runway money.

...and Navy pilots fly cross-country to play on those courses. "Apples and oranges"...different pots of money (Golf courses and runways).

I grew up Navy watching Dad kick Soviet as$.....

You're right, the AF had nothing to do during the Cold War.

Urban legend my a--!

I'm just a young guy, but some of my LIFT IP's (old-craniums from the F-4 and F-15A days) talked of the incident in great detail. They swore it happened. In fact, I recently talked to a Kadena Eagle Driver who confirmed the story I heard at lift. It was the "Fighting Cocks" at Kadena. Thereafter referred to as the "Biting Cocks"

Did I say envy or did you just confirm it? Ships are just damm expensive to keep up....

Anyone can land a jet on 10,000 feet of concrete 200 ft wide....

"Col. let's get crazy and take the fifth high speed, we'll be the talk at the O'club!"

Not envy..pride.

Everything's expensive nowadays. From P-3 toilet seats to carriers. But, you won't find a B-2 on Ebay...yet.

I needed that 10,000 feet of runway when I sat alert with a 488,000 pound jet.

Yes alert...Rez, I wish you would have told me about your dad earlier. Now I feel like those four years of nuke alert were a waste.

And Rez? Can you still get in the O'club?

Lt. Disco thinks anyone who can land on a boat or is willing to fly under 10,000 AGL is a "cowboy".

Really, the Kadena Eagle Driver confirmed the story. I find that hard to believe. The legend was invented by Fighting Falcon drivers many moons ago. I heard the same "confirmed" rumors when I was at LIFT, and that was over 15 YEARS AGO!

Lt. Disco thinks anyone who can land on a boat or is willing to fly under 10,000 AGL is a "cowboy".

No, I flew RF-4s, I like flying low. You can have that boat stuff. Oh and by the way, it's Commander not Lt. Hence the CC in CCDiscoB.

 

[A-10yungin]

Legend

I don't know dude. I wasn't there, I just know what I heard. It's true that rumors abound in the fighter community, but it seems to me that very few Light Gray drivers put up much resistance to the story. I find that tough to believe, since the Eagle dudes are not too hesitant to bitch and moan about stuff. Why would they not bitch and moan about such a huge story, especially if it was false? Maybe because it's true?

Now THERE's a guy with a small penis.

Those four years weren't a waste. Don't be so hard on yourself... Standby for a nuke sub is an honorable job.

A 22 year old in a spandex dress can get into the O'club.

 

[talondriver]

Told ya Huge had the good one liners...

One liners??

Have you looked back at "Hugh's" post throughout this thread???

banana? weenie? penis?

It sounds more like an obsession.

 

[Hugh Jorgan]

Well, the bloody thing does run my life, after all...

I seriously doubt if the boomers covered all the TGTs but their job was and is an honorable one. When did you serve?

And dude... A 50 year old in leather can get into an O'club nowadays.

 

[talondriver]

Good luck if you're gonna tangle wits with Huge there... he's got some good one liners.

Jolly, just wrapping up Primary... Forms took forever. My Form partner and I were a couple of the only guys AHEAD of the pace, so we got stuck on hold so others could get their x's out of the way. Things are getting busy for me again, just gotta bust out RI's, and already have a few x-c's with IP's lined up for weekend trips to Key West. Can't wait... it's not WESTPAC, but it should be fun! Forms has gotta be the coolest thing I've done so far. Loved it, and as the phase was ending, I was getting pretty good it at.

And AF Envy is just a phrase AF guys made up to make them feel better about being 2nd best....

Oh yeah? Well...we have more golf courses than you!!!!

Key West rocked!! Stay away from the east end of Duval Street though

Key West rocked!! Stay away from the east end of Duval Street though

During sub lockout training in Key West our C-130 Combat Talon drivers got to spend a few days with us during the exercise.

During a liberty excursion we got the co-pilot snot-slinging drunk and he passed out around 2300. Took him to the east Duval St area and sold him to a couple of "the boys" over there for $110. We had enough drinking money for the rest of the night.

He was pissed off the next day but he was pretty quiet the rest of the exercise. We used that story from then on as leverage for insisting on accurate drops from the C-130 pilots.

The SOW FACs that were assigned to us (all enlisted guys) were never dumb enough to fall for that trick, even though we tried every time we got new guys.
