I flew a desk also. Was also in personnel. Moved a lot of guys to Vietnam. Hope they all survived. I almost went too. Had orders to go to Cam Ranh. Cancelled at the last minute. Guess, some guy reenlisted and I was no longer needed. Only flew on an Air Force plane one time. Went from Niagara Falls, NY to Wright-Patterson AFB to the hospital there. They thought I needed surgery, but it turned out that I didn't so they sent me back to Niagara. It was just a mini vacation for me.

As long as we're all telling "war stories," I was USAF too, 1964-1968, in communications. Not a pilot, but could tell you about the time in 1965 I "flew" a C-118 for a few minutes on a hop into Stewart AFB, NY, and got all the passengers sick.

You and I were in at almost the same time. I went in 63 got out 67.

Hey, I was one of those sickies....:) No, but tried to get to Stewart but wound up in the land of fruits and nuts...Tell the story of my only combat experience...Was walking down Market St in SanFran one nite and 3 queers chased me down an alley...sumbitsch, 1 of them got away..:D
Here's the only plane i was on, c-140 cargo...

Sorry for interrupting you fine, fine vets (thank you all).

If no one else is gonna say it I will:

Hillary. :tro:

Okay carry on.

YES:tro:....Hope things work out but like Roseanne Rosanadana says 'It's always something'...

Yep. I love it when I wake up in the morning and Clinton is President (Hillary, that is, 2017-2025).

:$:

I'm with you on that bro..the other side got nuthin...did hear Palin's name mentioned the other day, think it was on the Twilight zone..:D
Wonder if this lady will have a position on Hillary's cabinet...maybe kneeling postion...:eek:

I guess I wouldn't be too surprised either way, if she did run or she didn't, but Hillary looks lilke one tired lady to me. Of course, political types all have big egos. The notion of being the first woman president could be just too tempting. On the other side the Bush family has been out of the spotlight for awhile. I wonder whether any of them are contemplating a run. Jeb maybe?

someone new, pleeeeeeeaaase.

Surely the Republicans won't run any of those Stepford wives like Palin and Bachman again?

Yes she does look very tired..
Jeb has been mentioned quite a bit...He actually was his daddy's first pick to be prez, but somehow Dumya usurped him...and i don't think another 4 years will cleanse Jeb of his bro's 8 years...jus sayin...

Hard to say what's going to happen in politics. Who would have thought that tricky Dick would have come back to be prez, but I guess even he didn't have such a flair for efing up as Dubya did. At least, not till later on in his presidency. Might have to factor in the success or failure of Obama in his next term also. If he doesn't do well, people may be in the mood to throw the bums out and go with the Republicans again.
