Nope.

That never happens?

I'm sure it does, but you're going to have to provide me better evidence
than
an 86 year old woman, relying on memories from 30+ years ago....who also
happens to believe Bush stole the 2000 election and lied to us about Iraq.
She
is not an unbiased source, not even close. For CBS she was acceptable, but
they
thought Burkett (a major Kerry contributer) was acceptable too.

So she is like SBVT?



There aren't orders issued for things you are suppose to do. It's only
when
you DON'T do them that the tactic of making it an order comes up.

Problem is, if you decided you weren't going to get your physical and
*repeatedly* missed it *without a reason* and the unit thought this was
unacceptable there would be a much longer paper trail and the first order
you
would receive would be from the Flight Surgeons office.

This was 30 years ago and in ANG unit. They might have done things a little
differently. Especially if the officer in questions daddy was a
congressman.

I've known guys that
have missed several physicals and they never received an order from
anyone.

Did they ultimately take it? And wouldn't an order from a Sqn. Commander
carry more weight than one from the flight surgeaons office?





You know it takes just one **** up by an airman to kill you in that B-52
you
fly, right? Probably wouldn't be your fault but an accident board can
easily blame you anyway.


But if I were the maintenance supervisor as well as the pilot I'd deserve
the
blame.

It might be that the initial ****up doesn't kill you but it leads to your
making a mistake that kills you. You don't have to be the maintenance
supervisor to be blamed.

BTW I noticed you snipped out my comment about being the Air Force. I've
met plenty of military enlisted and officer both present and past that think
Bush is an idiot and needs to go.
