Maple Flag 1978.<br />Cold Lake not Moose Jaw.<br />Billiard table.<br />All RCAF bases had a games room with two billiard tables. The lesser was the Crud table and when it needed refurbishment the other table became the Crud table.<br />Crud was not a required performance evaluated exercise. After the first Maple Flag exercise many USAF sqn commanders held practice sessions before going to MF and results I am sure showed up on OER's. <br />If you have to practice having fun then you have a problem. I know about this first hand having served at NORAD HQ Malstrom AFB and flew Det 2 aircraft allocated to the 24th Air Div. 80-83<br />Before Las Vegas had the slogan we Mess members knew to keep what happened in the Mess...<br />But now that you guys found out about Crud you can't keep your f$%^&*$# mouths shut. NO F*&^ NO, spread it all over the world, let's do video, yah. We used to have fun even if we had to go to the tailor on Monday but it was our in house camaraderie no one even the wives need know. It seems that now days even the Kremlin knows when Juvat farts. <br /> captcraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03466164760552519521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-74692953626238782622015-03-04T20:31:37.838-08:002015-03-04T20:31:37.838-08:00Yes, it's worth the effort.

One of the Canucks came up to her and asked if the Yanks ever played a game where someone yelled Dead... and everyone fell on their backs and wiggled their legs and arms. She said yes. Shortly thereafter he yelled "Dead Insect" and all the Canucks fell on their backs and the Yanks looked puzzled. Must have been one of those "Common people separated by a common language" incidents.juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-9154117161071049502015-03-04T20:28:10.937-08:002015-03-04T20:28:10.937-08:00Thanks

We had Aussies at Korat or maybe it was Ubon, but I don't remember playing much else but dead bug. My IP at Perrin AFB, for the Deuce, was an English fellow who introduced us to some of his fighterpilotly stuff (mother's club, etal). I am glad you stuck with the brown bar for life.
