I think it is as bad as it has every been for them. And those dang Rescue Swimmers are freaking studs.

USAF active duty 1984-1990 Minuteman III nuclear weapon system electronic technician AKA Silo Soldier- after all someone had to make sure the birds could fly.

Mike, Not the first time I have heard that and it certainly won't be last. No Offense taken

Chief, I believe Mike was not trying to disrespect anyone in the military including yourself. After all he was referring to HIS experience with dealing with the Air Force not the Air Force in general.

Did they call you Doc? All our Corpsmen were cool. The most decorated Serviceman I have met was a Corpsman in Vietnam.

Love ya Mike
Thanks Jason. I was going to comment that we always called them Air Force gloves, but I don't know anymore. I guess there is a point where just ribbing crosses the line. I probably did go a bit far there.

BTW, there has to be more military folks here. Come on Army, the Chair Force is catching up.

There are more Army but you'll probably have to go over to the GM or Chevy forums to find them.

That job actually looks like it would be fun (drug runner chases not the fish folks out of water part)

That's the job everyone knows of, but no one wants to think about. We got enough alerts being on the pointy end of the stick. I wouldn't want to think about what it was like when you went on alert.

I NEVER in a million years would've guessed the Air Force would've pulled ahead of the Army!! Wow!

FWIW, I voted Air Force, even though I was Active Duty Army. Had to -- been Air Guard now since '95.

Why? They'll take any able body without a Felony. Army draws the line at non-violent Felonies

That's right, the Army has standards.
