Does the active duty and Air National Guard/reserve screen officers for mental defect?
Witnes | 21 Dec 2011 | Racehorse

Posted on 12/21/2011 3:28:19 PM PST by Racehorse

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.

You’re quite right.

At my age and in retirement . . . I fly nothing but a keyboard.

But . . . I do know a lot about flighlines, aircraft msintesance, pilots, and chains of command.

KMA.
Thank you,
R.

Her constituents did the screening not Congress.

They replaced her with Hank "Guam might capsize" Johnson.

Smoking addiction is a mental defect.

But anti-smokers are way worse:

Anti-Smokers:
Mao Tse Tung
Stalin
Hitler

Smokers:
Churchill
Einstein
Oppenheimer

Dude, you smoke and he hurt your feelings. Sounds to me like he isn’t one of the usual PC officers I see so much of around the base. He doesn’t like the smell of smoke on a persons breath who is in his face cutting his hair. Who does?

With that said most flyers are a-holes in my experience. Doesn’t mean they have mental problems.

That sounds like another Air Farce prima-donna. Occifers can be like that, y'know.

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

Did he say that? They should use JP-8 now.........

I’d rather smell JP-4 than the stench of a cigarette on someone’s breath six inches from my face.

Ah, yes, I had forgotten about Guam’s imminent peril. I sure hope they got the anchors in place.

One of the most ignorant and preposterous posts I've ever read on FR.
You are an @sshat.

Sounds like a typical member of the AF fighter pilot mafia.

You shoulda looked for his squadron patch.

He was a dick, but well within his right.

Your vanity is silly, much more so than the “zipper” was.

I was an officer in aircraft maintenance...your arguments are invalid, and may God have mercy on you.

I understand that they are ringing the island with water wings to keep it from tipping or sinking until a permanent (next Stimulus) solution can be found.

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

Sounds like abberant behavior to me.

No JP-8 is old hat, they should now be using that $18.00 a gallon biofuel. Hardly stinks at all, except for the Odor that always accompanies corruption.

But . . . you took the cheap, easy slut shot, didn’t you?

You set the tone for cheap shots here so stop whining like a little girl about it.
