HATE CURES TRANNYS posted:You're loving kidding me. Do we know what the chain of command was like for these programs? Were they mostly military run or CIA/NSA/whatever? I can't believe a general was able to bully his way into a MiG like that. The old Air Force Systems Command (now part of Air Force Materiel Command, AFMC) was in charge of Air Force development programs like the F-117 (like AFMC is now for the F-22). So this 3-star was in the chain of command of all those programs for the Air Force. No one there really could tell him no, especially in the 80's. At least it was a single seater so he just killed himself.

GD_American posted:Is that...senior NCO rank tabs? Is he ROTC or student 1st sergeant or something? Chief Master Sergeant (as a First Sergeant) rank pins Looks like a Missile Badge on his left pocket unless it's some rotc/cap thing service dress nametag on his shirt? (the silver one only goes on the jacket, the one for the shirt is skinnier and blue) So my guess is CAP.

LEGIT WAR CRIMINAL posted:Firing RPG-7s in Bulgaria was pretty cool. I got to fire an RPG-7 in Georgia and it was neat, as well as fire a bunch of Cold War-era Warsaw Pact assault rifles because apparently we had a shipping container full of ammo that needed to be used. We could see the firing range from our building and would sit and watch the Georgians fire RPG-7s all day.
