Thank you for the post.

The reason that the Air Wing 7 is the only wing with two Tomcat squadrons, is because the Pukin Dogs specialty is TARPS. (Tactical Airborn Reconnaissance Pod System)

It will be the Dogs, coming in low and hot snapping pictures of ememy locations and beaming them back via satellite to the ship for printing before they can even turn back to the boat.

In addition to TARPS, this Air Wing will be moving mud in the Bombcat configuration, dropping JDAMS on Osama's head if they find the bastard.

Is this the main insignia of the Dogs? Cause this is the one on the sign in front of the barracks. I drive past it every time I go to the bank on base. *s*

These people don't need the city council and the base commander to talk nice and kiss up to them, these people need some good old-fashioned thump therapy.

An "accidental" low-level fuel dump or two during an outdoor barbeque might be fun. Give the steaks that nice, bracing taste of kerosene.

Hill AFB occasionally gets B-1 bombers flying exercises. Instead of doing a regular climb-out, I'd like to see those B-1s buzz their houses at 50 feet in full afterburner. I'll bet they wouldn't gripe about the F-16s anymore.

It'd be a dirty shame if a Lancer "accidentally" dropped any unused on-wing ordnance or fuel module right over the guy's house too.

You shoulda left out the explanation.
I was having fun picturing the confused puppy dog stares for a moment there ...
