Does the active duty and Air National Guard/reserve screen officers for mental defect?

I was just getting my hair cut at the Lackland AFB (now something called a joint base) when this guy in a leather flight jacket . . . probably from the National Guard or the Air Force reserves next door . . . challenges his femsle barber . . . "Do you smoke?"

This pissy officer explains, barbers smoke and he can't stand the smell of tobacco smoke on their breath as they cut his hair.

But, he can smell and enjoy the scent of JP-4.

This flying officer needs to be identified and removed from flying status . . . or removed from training and discharged.

Oh I am still here..

No retreat, baby, no surrender!

[Racehorse]

Really?

Why?

[pandoraou812]

lmao! You are an odd one aren’t you? I never give anything up BTW.

[TigersEye]

I know a toothless yappy dog when I see one. LOL

Gum it, Lassie.

[pandoraou812]

Shakes head, you know I have dogs & that insults my Rags TE. Couldn’t you have used a sheep?

[TigersEye]

I think I have used the sheep we have here far too much.

The bleating is getting out of hand.

[pandoraou812]

eweeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[TigersEye]

You ought to let them read this. Your doctor too.

[TigersEye]

eweeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Probably. Or a wether.

[pandoraou812]

Nobody called me in. I was reading your silly thread with your misspelled stupid comments & added my own.

[pandoraou812]

Hmmm seems you had too many. You don’t bite. But you can read your silly comments when you sober up... laughing.

pandy is a woman who could kick your butt over the moon. She has horses and other animals to feed in the morning so she has retired for the evening. I’m sure she will be glad to dress you down again in the morning for the sorry besotted speck of a man you are. I suggest you get one of the nurses to help you comprehend it.

[metmom]

How is your rudeness any different than his?

[metmom]

Attacking another’s character = conceding the argument.

Only people with nothing left resort to that.

[pgkdan]

Trust me . . . you do not want to advance another silly insult my way.

Wasn't an insult, just a statement of fact. Smokers smell bad and most of them aren't even aware of it. I know, I was a heavy smoker for 25 years.

"A toothless yappy lassie dog reduced you to nothing more than to calling in your sucklings to help you when you could not win agsinst a toothless, yappie lassie dog. Suck it it up. You and your sycophhants didn’t have the meat to measure up to an old man."

Well, I checked in this morning to see if you had taken my advice from last night.

Of course, you couldn't be bothered.

You fancy yourself some kind of keyboard wizard and the master of the putdown. All the while, blind to the fact that with your Gospel supporting tagline, you were the worst kind of advertisement for the Gospel--by your own words, including swear words and a description of your private parts.

I hope you enjoyed your tax-subsidized haircut at Lackland, but your complaining about some pilot's comments obviously soured you on the experience.

That does not give you license to insult others with abandon, nor to swear on this forum.

Watching this thread last night was like watching a train wreck--you could not turn away from your own delusional rants--which was quite entertaining in its own right.

For the record, no one called in anyone to "attack" you. No one had to. Anyone monitoring the "Comments" on the threads could see you were providing the entertainment for the evening.

The posters you so proudly think you have mastered are long time Freepers who are clearly and unmistakenly your betters.

Perhaps in the clearness of the morning, your brain fog has cleared. You owe them an apology for your overall nastiness and stupidity displayed last night.

But hey,since you have the "look" mastered, and officers quiver in its wake, you'll probably give everyone here the same, and call it victory.

Whatever. The least you could do, is to use spellcheck before you launch into the wild blue yonder of posting, so your ranting could at least be readable.

Lance Peter Sijan (Serbian: Лазар Шијан/Lazar Šijan (April 13, 1942 – January 22, 1968) was a United States Air Force officer and fighter pilot. On the night of November 9, 1967, for his 52nd combat mission, Sijan and pilot Lt. Col. John Armstrong were tasked with a bombing mission over North Vietnam. As they rolled in on their target to release their ordnance, their F-4C was engulfed in a ball of fire, due to the bomb fuses malfunctioning and causing a premature detonation on their release. Sijan had suffered a fractured skull, a mangled right hand, and a compound fracture of the left leg from his rough landing. He was without food, with very little water, and no survival kit; nevertheless, he evaded enemy forces for 46 days (all the time scooting on his back down the rocky limestone karst on which he landed, causing more injuries). He was finally captured by the North Vietnamese on Christmas Day, 1967. Emaciated and in poor health, he still managed to overpower his guard and escape, but was recaptured several hours later. Sijan was transported to a holding compound in Vinh, North Vietnam, where he was placed in the care of two other POWs, Air Force Colonel Robert R. Craner and Air Force Captain Guy Gruters. In considerable pain from his wounds, he suffered beatings and extensive torture from his captors, but never gave any information other than what the Geneva Convention allowed. Suffering from exhaustion, malnutrition, and disease, he was sent to Hanoi. In his weakened state, he contracted pneumonia and died in Hoa Lo Prison (the notorious Hanoi Hilton) on January 22, 1968. First Lieutenant Sijan was promoted posthumously to captain on June 13, 1968. His remains were repatriated on March 13, 1974 and were positively identified on April 22, 1974. He was buried with military honors in Arlington Park Cemetery in Milwaukee. It was Colonel Craner who recommended him for the Medal of Honor. This award was corroborated with Captain Guy Gruters' testimony and Sijan received the Medal of Honor posthumously in 1976. His parents received the medal on his behalf on March 4, 1976 from President Gerald R. Ford.
