For those of you that don't know Luke AFB is in Arizona and is a training base for the USA. It has been there for some 50 years. It used to be so far out that it took about 3 hrs to get to it by car from Mesa.     Luke AFB is west of Phoenix and is rapidly being surrounded by civilization that complains about the noise from the base and its planes, forgetting that it was there long before they were.  A certain lieutenant colonel at Luke AFB deserves a big pat on the back. Apparently, an individual who lives somewhere near Luke AFB wrote the local paper complaining about a group of F-16s that disturbed his/her day at the mall.

When that individual read the response from a Luke AFB officer, it must have stung quite a bit.

The complaint:

Whom do we thank for the morning air show? Last Wednesday, at precisely 9:11
A.M, a tight formation of four F-16 jets made a low pass over Arrowhead
Mall, continuing west over Bell Road at approximately 500 feet. Imagine our
good fortune!  Do the Tom Cruise-wannabes feel we need this wake-up call, or
were they trying to impress the cashiers at Mervyns early bird special?

Any response would be appreciated.

The response:

Regarding 'A wake-up call from Luke's jets' On June 15, at precisely 9:12
a.m., a perfectly timed four- ship fly by of F-16s from the
63rd Fighter
Squadron at Luke Air Force Base flew over the grave of Capt. Jeremy
Fresques. Capt Fresques was an Air Force officer who was previously
stationed at Luke Air Force Base and was killed in Iraq on May 30,
Memorial
Day.

At 9 a. m. on June 15, his family and friends gathered at Sunland Memorial
Park in Sun City to mourn the loss of a husband, son and friend. Based on
the letter writer's recount of the fly by, and because of the jet noise, I'm
sure you didn't hear the 21-gun salute, the playing of taps, or my words to
the widow and parents of Capt. Fresques as I gave them their son's flag on
behalf of the President of the United States and all those veterans and
servicemen and women  who understand the sacrifices they have endured..

A four-ship fly by is a display of respect the Air Force gives to those who
give their lives in defense of freedom. We are professional aviators and
take our jobs seriously, and on June 15 what the letter writer witnessed was
four officers lining up to pay their ultimate respects.

The letter writer asks, 'Whom do we thank for the morning air show? The
56th
Fighter Wing will make the call for you, and forward your thanks to the
widow and parents of Capt Fresques, and thank them for you, for it was in
their honor that my pilots flew the most honorable formation of their lives.

Only 2 defining forces have ever offered to die for you....Jesus Christ and
the American Soldier.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Lt. Col. Grant L. Rosensteel, Jr.

USAF

The Man Rules

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down

 

               

 

Finally , the guys' side of the story.( I must admit, it's pretty good.)

We always hear " the rules " From the female side.  

 

               

 

Now here are the rules from the male side.

You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down,We need it up, you need it down.

You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

 

1. Sunday sports, It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.

Let it be.

 

1. Crying is blackmail.

 

1. Ask for what you want.

Let us be clear on this one:

Just say it!

 

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

 

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched.We do that.

 

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

Seems we still have not learned from history, doesn't it?
 

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.  People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

 

Cicero - 55 BC

Someone finally said it but just how many are really paying attention to it?

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, Native Americans etc. and then there are Americans

Some pass me on the street and call me names, like white boy, cracker, honkey, whitey, caveman etc. but ya know thats ok there just words.

Everyone says the whites commit more crimes against other people, then why is the getto the most dangerous places to live.

They have The United Negro Collage Fund, Hispanic History Month, Martin Luther King Day, they have Asian History Month, Black History Month, Cesar Chavez Day. They have Ma'uled Al-Nabi, Yom Hashoah, the Kawanza the NAACP and BET tv.

What if we started WET  (thats white entertainmant televison) We would be racists, if we had White History Month we'd be racists, If we had an organization to better the lives of whites only, we'd be racists.

We have a black chamber of commerce, a hispanic chamber and a regular chamber of commerce. Who pays for them?

There are over 60 openly proclaimed Black Only Universitys but if there was one that said Whites Only, boy would that cause a row

You are all proud to be black, brown, yellow, red and what ever other color you are but if we try to tell you we are White and proud of it we are called racists.  No matter what it is the white man that is always the racists and yet we dont riot when one of us gets convicted of a crime, we dont protest in mass about the unfair treatment we recieve at the hands of the local contabulary, but then again I forget WE ARE THE RACISTS.

Just thought I would bring this up to see what reactions I would get and from who. Please be intelligent with your answers. Try to keep the name calling down to a min.

Thank You

well it is offical the DoD has just sold missles to Isreal. The question is are they going to use them to attack Iran or just for defense of an attack?  Well actually Congress has 30 days to give there approval of not.

The missle well they're not missles they are smat bombs I guess that does make a differance at the GPS-guided GBU-39 and its said to be one of the most accurate bombs in the world. They can be fired from around 100 plus kilometers and can penitrate at least 90 cm. of reinforced concrete.

Now my question is should we allow them to have this type of weapon and if so should we make them "promise" not to use them for offencive purposes.

This is open for disscusion and for those of you that have nothing intelligent to say (and you know who you are) please dont bother.

I am old and in dog years am probably dead or should be. I speak my mind and will listen if you have at least something intelligent to say. I am not politicaly correct and believe that being that way is one reason the U.S. is in the shape its in. Everyone is affraid of hurting someones feelings oh well get used to it. I am a Viet Nam Vet with two tours and another 10 years working for the government. I enjoyed most of it but got to old to run and crawl around anymore. I still have my eye though. (if you know what I mean)
