You know, when I was an AF Academy cadet, each Cadet Squadron (there were 40 of 'em; roughly 100 cadets each) had a "Squadron Sponsor"; an operational AF unit that sort of "adopted" a particular squadron. In fact, once a year, each Cadet Squadron got to visit their Squadron Sponsor.

As an upperclassman, my squadron's (37th) sponsor was the 1st Special Ops Wing, Hurlburt Field, FL. Guess what they do? :) I remember touring them right after the Mayaguez incident (testing your age, reader, and your knowledge of "current events" of the day) when these guys kicked some MAJOR Southeast Asian ass. We toured the Spectre, and let me tell ya................I'm DAMNED glad they're on OUR side. Nasty, nasty weapons platform.........and I'm talking about their technology of well-over 20 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May God have mercy on those Taliban souls, 'cause their sorry Earth-bound asses belong to us.

These birds practice nearby. Just a sound of Freedom I don't even notice in the background most nights, but conspicious by their current rarity.
