Yeah I was gonna say if I was doing dorm inspections and I saw a model train set I'd be like oh thank god it's not anime/clearly used sexual toy(s)/mountains of trash/literal human waste/disassembled motorcycle engine/apparent remnants of a hooker murder

Of course I'm not a complete douchebag rear end in a top hat, which is why I'm not a shirt, which is why I'm not doing dorm inspections

I used to work with this AGR SMSgt. who told me he once did a room inspection and found a whole deboned ham in a 5 gallon plastic bag under some dudes bed.

Don't be such a squid, bro
I used to work for the TSA (yeah I know) and man I've seen some ridiculous poo poo in peoples bags. The reason I bring that up, is because one time this bag I was xraying showed a large, lumpy organic shape in this woman's carry-on. It had something dense in the middle of it. Kinda disconcerting. So we pull her bag for an inspection and it clears the explosives residue test and while I'm chatting with her I unzip the bag and get hit by a wall of stink fumes. This middle age lady had a full bone-in glazed ham in her carry-on. Now, you're allowed to bring food in your carry-on as long as it's not like liquid or poo poo, but for gently caress's sake. It was warm, and sticky, and was wrapped up in what appeared to be a bunch of white t-shirts (that were now orange due to the glaze). No plastic or anything. Weird gross warm ham juices were flowing freely around the bag, all over her other poo poo. Documents, laundry, toiletries, everything. She was completely unphazed by this. Other passengers who passed by crinkled their noses in disgust at the faintest whiff of it.

I ask her why she had this room temperature squooshy-rear end ham in her bag. She said she was bringing it home for dinner. I double checked her boarding passes and she was flying from my airport to BWI then on to Texas. I ask her how long ago she refrigerated this monstrosity and she said that it was pre-cooked so she didn't need to. By now my supervisor had caught on to the situation and turned her back past the security cordon and told her to check the bag. She looked really hurt but wanted to keep it I guess. I hope for her sake the airline made her dump that poo poo, it was loving foul.

The point I'm trying to make is that the only way to come out on top is to kick the Air Force in the nuts, beart it savagely with a weight and take a dump on it's face.
I ended my tour in Germany in a creepy Romanian house while a girl who I may or may not have traded fat loving greenbacks for an erotic massage grabbed my rubber-clad, eight-and-a-half inch (and satisfyingly thick) American dong and wagged it across the room at my tiny-dicked buddy and his girl, saying "(random Romanian gibberish)Look! Look! Big dick!" But I couldn't bust a nut because he was in the room all judging me and poo poo.

Now I'm heading to Diego Garcia, and when I asked my sponsor what the leave and travel policies were, he said the commander hadn't designated and that he wasn't available to ask because he was on leave in the Phillippines.

I know the Air Force is hosed up. But somehow I keep coming out on top somehow and I just can't complain. I just hope my kids understand that daddy has to go, his country needs his technical skill the dollar is up and Korea has bans on all the fun poo poo.

And where you're the only one on the bus to the airfield not getting excited about the 'super hot chick' walking near the TCN housing area.

Also the Filipino band they had playing at the bars at night was amazing.

Some things can't be unseen
The thread's slowing down so here are some failures from my squadron:



This belongs to a hugely fat E-6 that I work with. Her most noticeable quality is asking for things that are useless, and showing up late to PT, walking 4-6 laps, and then leaving while everyone else runs.

This month we sent our most useless op to ALS and expect her back very soon. When she left she had a grand total of two months of actual work, refused to switch from day to night shift, and believes that a defibrillator stops the heart so that doctors can reset it at a normal rhythm. She has done her best to avoid interacting with anyone at all times so I'm sure she's doing great.

I've also been meaning to update you on our squadron's adult baby! He met a 1N2 who's into scat play so they got married. He also qualified for Staff last testing cycle, but they may be waiting to send him to ALS until he can do a PT test without a waiver. That'll probably never happen since he's been on a no anything waiver since before graduating Basic and just gets his waist tape done. Even then he manages to fail it. Recently we sent him to a shop full of useless people so hopefully he stays there, burning their nostrils with his melted cheese and wax scent.

We had a SMSgt talking about how sore he was on Sunday after his PT test on Saturday (Reserves). The best part? We found out he was waived on everything but the waist measurement.

Must have taken quite the effort to suck in his gut during the taping.

I'll totally agree with Charleston AFB being in the list. I'm living in the city now, and the difference in quality between Shaw and here is night and day, and it's only a 1.5 hour drive.

Anchorage getting an Olive Garden was really a thing when I was up there.

So, at the risk of sounding naive, how does one refuse to switch shifts? Every shop I've worked in has involved shift work, and I thought it was understood that not reporting for duty would be a nice quick way to earn an Article 15.

It's consistently not horrible, and it's consistently right outside the gate. At Tinker it was always at this Chinese place until BWW opened and that became the place to go.

If you have your going away at an "ethnic" restaurant, one of your lily white co-workers will complain that it tasted funny and they didn't serve hamburgers, and he thinks that Indian food comes straight from the unwashed floor of a hut in Chennai to his plate in Missouri.

Essentially the guy she was going to switch with didn't give that much of a gently caress so she just bugged him until he agreed to stay on the night shift for another month. Worked for me since we got someone who kind of knows what they're doing for that time, and I didn't have to see her drowned rat face.
