You're quite welcome. I had seen some of them before, but many were new to me. I like the one about not drawing fire because it irritates the people around you. Ha!

If you are short of everything but enemies, you are in a combat zone.

Sign I had on wall of my Office at Minot AFB. Aircrews came by to pick up their Communication Kits.

IF TOO LOW TO EJECT DO THE FOLLOWING:

1. Loosen shoulder straps

2. Bend at Waist placing head between your Legs.

3. Kiss your Ass, Goodbye!

We had several guard units from Texas deploy to the Mid East the past few years which had just passed several inspections. Not one was able to be self-sustaining in the combat areas.

Funny. Thanks.

Several years ago I was talking to a former army pilot about a military jet crash that was all over the news. I meant to ask "What does the military do to the pilot when he crashes his plane?" but the question came out "What happens when you crash your plane?"

Without missing a beat, the old pilot said "The dirt comes inside the cockpit with you"

Basic Flying Rules: "Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there."
