+Brainless 1 Posted March 1, 2008 Here are my shots Well I've never been anywhere near any military organisation so I've got no pics but it looks like there's enough military manpower and hardware for CA to form one of its own. Nice to have pics to put faces to names though and I salute you all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Viggen 517 Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) Craig that is definatly a uniform (and a cool one at that). Do you guys have an ELT or EPIRB (Emergency Locater) tracker on your bird? Becuase when I am on a SAR mission in Civil Air Patrol that is what we look for in missing (crashed, sunk, hard landing, bump) plane or boat. BTW I passed my Review Board and am now a Cadet Tech Sergeant in Civil Air Patrol (USAF Auxiliary). Edited March 3, 2008 by JA 37 Viggen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

serverandenforcer 33 Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) Couldn't resist posting a few of my own. This was in tech school at the 343rd TRS. Never knew painting your face can be so much fun. Trying on the berret before graduation. Graduated. Certified skycop These three were at Edwards AFB for heavy weapons qualifications... man that was fun! Anyways, served a tour in Iraq. Got to see a lot of stuff getting blown up by EOD and insurgents (mainly on their own people). Also was on the receiving end of some rocket attacks and one mortar attack. A lot of close calls. Oh, and apparently, powdered laundry detergent can easily be confused for signs of chemical munitions. Edited April 11, 2008 by serverandenforcer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+ST0RM 145 Posted April 18, 2008 Here's me and Bill, about a month ago. I'm on the left in the flightsuit. Bill is a good friend from my last assignment to Ramstein. He's a former C-130 loadmaster who got commisioned and is now a -135 maintenance officer. This was the first time we've seen each other since we both left Germany and I started flying. Jeff P.S. I dont usually have a mustache, but it was "Mustache March" and everyone was growing the combat 'stache for fun and to tick off the E-9s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
