Look, don't let my contempt for the entire AF get under your skin.

I know full well that there are AF guys from PJ's to Weather guys who endure the same stuff that the Army does.

Fact is the biggest portion of the AF doesn't know the difference between the field and that plot of corn outside the front gate.

I know my comments were pointed and seemed to be personal but I'm just your regular old crusty soldier who will forever be able to pick on the AF.

I'm still a little hot about the story last month about the AF guys whining about conditions in Afghanastan. (The exchange didn't carry their brand of toothpaste or something.) I just hate to see the rest of the Air Force grouped in with that whiner.

I don't know if you saw the reports early in the Afghan conflict, but Air Force FACs were assigned to Afghan military units and were living in the same conditions as they were. These weren't the guys complaining. The guy who complained and alerted the media was living in fairly decent conditions considering the situation.

I have a lot of admiration for the other branches and I'll admit that the "Average" Air Force guy has it quite a bit better than the "Average" member of any of the other services.
