A SSgt who worked for me was also an old flightline guy. We kept pestering our Lieutenant to find a way to send us to Saudi, we figured we could do something, anything. Our Lieutenant told us we were both insane and that the USAF had no need of a couple of programmers to fight the war in the desert.<br /><br />Our wives were completely pissed when they found out!<br /><br />But yeah, I understand completely.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-1057531158615136872013-09-08T20:18:31.685-07:002013-09-08T20:18:31.685-07:00Oh yeah.

Both of those folks have a lot more time in the area than I do/did. There were other euphemisms for AF bases I'd never heard, either. But Hey!... it's been nearly 30 years (28 to be exact) since I shed the Blue Suit. Language evolves or devolves... you choose... a lot when you've been away that long.
