Yes, the annual rattling of rage sabers.
I had friends take part in both Team Spirit, and Cope Thunder. I took part in Reforger.
Its horribly predictable and always has the same ludicrously arrogant tone.
I guess when almost your entire country is eating dirt ya have to act like a big guy....to save face
It’s called Key Resolve now. When the Norks stop complaining about the exercise, that’s the time to start worrying.

Thank you for the clarification.
I have asked a number of younger airmen here in San Antonio who have served in Korea if they still have “Team Spirit.” I am usually greeted with a blank stare!
Thank you.
You are quite welcome!
I was in Del Rio for 9 years, a pilot training base, but I spent a ton of time in San Antonio too.

Funny. I have never laid eyes on Del Rio.

Great (former) tagline!
California: The Third World Country we are all becoming.
I’ve done 3 Team Spirits and lost track of how many Cope Thunders. Fun times.

Apologies for the late reply: Wow! I can see your three Team Spirits, but you have me on the Cope Thunders!
Agreed: Fun times. (Different times, as well.)
