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.

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

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.
