don't fear the reaper

The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Yeah, I get the distinct feeling that the government just doesn't like that family. If that happened to me I'd be pissed off too. Find me a local office, march in and shout "I'm not dead!" I really wonder how this all happened.

Ah, the fallout of Green Planet = Brown hand. Got to love this country we live in.

I hate threats written by cheerleaders. Now, I'm not saying that all cheerleaders are dumb, but I'm saying whoever wrote those threats wasn't burdened with an overabundance of schooling. Hmm. "Respect us..." and covering more of the modestly dressed cheerleaders. Well, sorry that you dress like a skank and don't get as much coverage. Um, here's some advice, save the skanky outfit for your night job and don't let the pole rub you the wrong way.


Here's something about my long standing hatred of the Air Force. Now before I go in too deep, my dad was Air Force, so it really just irks me.
The Air Force is complaining about what again? People getting assigned jobs they weren't trained for? Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I trained as a 96H; it's a high-tech intelligence job, linking all sorts of cool stuff like satellites, planes, and tanks, to provide the big picture to the battlefield commander. You know what I did in Iraq for a year? Convoy escort duty, PSG, and other jobs I wasn't trained for.
Other things that piss me off about the Air Force? OK, I only have this one example but we had a squadron (not of planes) of airmen assigned to Fort Hood. They were the Squall teams, basically weathermen. That's fine, because the Air Force has huge demands for people that can tell the current weather, that sort of stuff is essential for planes I get it, I honestly do. What gets me is those airmen assigned to Fort Hood get hardship duty pay, an additional $155 a month. Why? Oh, I'll tell you why. Ft. Hood is below the Air Force standard of living. Yup, not good enough for the AF. Funny thing too, none of them live on post.
One of my 2nd cousins is in the Air Force now. The shit he complains about just pisses me off. For example, he's on his third deployment to Iraq. Now before you ask what I have to complain about let me say this. AF deployments are 3 months long!!!! 3 months! He's on his 3rd, 3-month deployment. So by the end he'll have a total of 9 months deployed. Let's not forget that his first "deployment" was not to Iraq but one of the neighboring countries.
So what's the big f**king deal? I swear, one of these days I'm just going to kick all of their asses. Still, what started this was the article, and I can't believe that Chief of Staff would even say anything like that. Mosley - "Somebody is going to have to pay us back" WHAT?

OK, sucking it up and driving on. Whew.
