Navy or Air Farce?

Only in Navy Air do you get a single last shot to come aboard a pitching,
rolling carrier by flying under a steel cable into a nylon net strung above
the deck. And survive to brag about it! (just remember to pull that
parachute pack out of your puckered sphincter before you deplane.

Gosh, that sounds fun for a while, but coming home to one's wife and kids
nighly sounds even better than spending 6-9 months on a boat full of men.

Guess you never deployed to Osan....not many wives there, 1 R/R trip per tour,
kinda like a 6 month deployment with a 10,000 ft runway.

Only in the Air Force do you get to take on 120,000 pounds of JP-8 in one shot
at night, in the weather over the middle of the Pacific.....wait a
minute....that wasn't that fun....disregard everything after "only in the Air
Force"

BUF,

Having watched the heavy v. heavy refueling evolution during the day, my
hat's off to you guys. That's NOT easy.

And while it may not technically be fun, there is a sense of accomplishment
once your done.

Buf,
Reminds me of the old joke about a Fat girl and a scooter. A lot of fun but you
don't want your friends to know you are doing either one.

So is taking a HUGE dump.

Hmmm, at least in the bomber community, taking a dump is not considered an
accomplishment.....I always suspected it was in the fighter community though...

Fair enough, but by a show of hands, how many aviators in this august
forum ever heard of a guy/gal in ANY pilot training class actually
volunteering for B-52s...when they could have had any fighter they
wanted. You are an anomaly...deviation from the common rule
....something different, abnormal, peculiar, or not easily classified.

I suppose your BUFF comrades look at you with a YGBSM expression when
you announce..."Yeah, BUFFs were my first choice..."

YMMV...
