specifically designed to provide entertainment and moral support for the military.
The doors have been open since Oct 7 2001,
the day of the start of the war in Afghanistan.
We are indebted to you for your sacrifices for our Freedom.
Thanks for letting us know, Kathy! Great road trip, Lauren...and see you when you can get back on!
Crazy place! LOL!
That’s where my son went through OTS. :)
Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
As a boy, I used to ride a go-cart that was steered with a rope. On one occasion, as I propelled my way down the driveway, my parents’ warning came to mind: “Always look up and down the street for cars.” But I rationalized: It’s okay not to do that just this once. Then I heard the sound of screeching tires as a car came to an abrupt stop to avoid hitting me. Thinking I could break my parents’ rule nearly cost me my life.
The Bible has many examples of those who knew better but who chose to break God’s rules. From boyhood, David had meditated on the law of God while he tended his sheep. He knew that the seventh commandment condemned adultery, yet when he saw a beautiful woman bathing he used his royal power to take the wife of Uriah for his own. This sin resulted in terrible consequences (2 Sam. 11–12).
The psalmist wrote: “Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins” (Ps. 19:13). Have you felt tempted to do something “just this once” even though you knew it was wrong? Glancing at Internet pornography, “borrowing” money from an account at work, or stretching the truth may each seem like an isolated activity but can lead to terrible consequences. With God’s help, turn from sin and find His way of escape (1 Cor. 10:13).
Read: Psalm 19:7-14
Hi, Ma!
Spent about a week at Gunter a few years back. Gunter is a next to nothing base without flight line, dedicated aircraft, ramp or runways. That’s devoted entirely to education. Whose Rear Gate can be seen when entering the Main Gate.
Maxwell, which is about a 20 minute drive from Gunter is HUGE! With a decent Commissary, Clothing Sales, excellent dining facilities and several Academies (Senior NCO, Staff, Command, etc). A couple of different squadrons of fixed and fling wing aircraft. Plus a few top grade golf courses.
Longest 7 weeks of my life. I never drank as much as I did then.

It is always interesting to see who comes through Maxwell attending Air University. Hang around Montgomery long enough and you will see people in flight suits from countries that you didn’t know had Air Forces.
Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our
military, our allies, and their families
Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.

it'll be next week before I'll have
time to hang around the Canteen in the mornings.
However, I will be posting the thread on Thursday night
and hope to be here to greet everyone on Friday morn. Until then...
Please stay.

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes,
conversation,
silliness,
and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM
