It's a sad commentary on the Air Force academy. It looks like these
cadets spend more time off of campus, than on. If I was the commandant
I'd close the gates, and get the kids back into military formation. The
only
way I'd let them out the gate, would be in groups of 5 or more.

better to let them out and let the bad apples screw up so they can be
identified


Actually, it's possible for an Air Force veteran with a history of drug and
alcohol problems to do quite well in this country, given supportive friends
and family.

Gosh! I don't know about the others, but I feel warm all over now...

I think Bob explained a lot of his posts, with that confession.

It will be interesting to see from the responses if you've crossed over the 'too
subtle use of irony' line.

I was thinking the same thing. But then, nowadays the air force is so
far removed from that type of lifestyle that the O-club is primarily
used for benign, afternoon coffee klatch get-togethers.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but most O, and E-clubs have gone
bankrupt, and the new term is the "Activities Center." Commanders have
finally given up on the clubs, as they've been shunned by the force since
the early 80's. Most young people in uniform today, wouldn't be caught
dead in a bingo-parlor, cafeteria, or stag bar style club. It would be like
our going to a Timberlake or Eminem concert to sway to the lip-syncing
boys and girls.

That's pretty rotten, to accuse me of being an Air Force vet.

Since they were your words, and you were the one who brought them up, you can't
hardly blame someone else for them unless, of course, you haven't come down from
something you're taking. In that case, you could say anything, and it wouldn't
have to make sense.

Eminem? Timberlake?? You're obviously much younger than me!

I suppose the youngsters could claim to be walking in GW's footsteps.

Pretty broad brush you paint with. O-Clubs at every Pilot and Nav Training base
that I've been to, plus Vandenberg (where Undergraduate Space Training is) have
all had very active clubs with great participation. Operational bases tend to
vary, but many are still hopin' places on Friday. The "lets get hammered at the
Club on Friday" era is gone, and many clubs have died as a result, but more
remain open.

An ex-Viper jock (now flies for the airlines) scheduled a series of
flights to party down with me here in Tampa. I partied him under the
table every time...
