Yeah - Joint duty here too. Including working with Canadians and Saudi’s (Iran/Iraq war)....Saudis were the worst. Run around with hair on fire, inclined to shoot first, then figure out if it was the right target. They wanted to target a commercial airlines once...was sitting on the scope and had to convince them it was indeed commercial from the flight path I recognized. I sympathized with the Navy when they actually did shoot one down. I had separated from USAF before that.

But as far as US forces, we did enjoy the good natured rivalry. We were a team when it came down to business.

The Canadians got drunk and wanted a fistfight....lol

Fun times ;-)

Canadians, LOL! Huh!

I was at NORAD Cheyenne Mountain, we had a lot of Canadians there. We did used to rib them quite a bit!

We’d sometimes speculate just how many troops of Girl Scouts we’d need to invade and conquer them, and if it would require activating some Boy Scouts for the hairier assaults, like the Citadel in Quebec City or the Halifax naval base.

We were pretty mean.

Actually Canadians were really great troops and pretty damn tough. We’d still roll ‘em up if we ever really had to, but I cannot see a time when we’d ever have to.
