No photo, just my favorite military pilot joke;
A pilot calls the tower and says "air traffic control, this is Capt. Jones, I need to know what time it is"
The ATC responds, " Capt. Jones, I need to know what branch of the service you are in"
The Capt. responds " Why the hell do you need to know that, just tell me the time!"
ATC; "Sir I can't tell you the time unless I know your branch of the service"
The Capt. Yells into the mike' " Goddamn it man, what are you a, a fucking corporal or what, I'm a fucking Captain and I order you to tell what time it is, and right now! or I'll come down there and have you court martialed, Do you understand me?"
ATC, "YES Sir", "if you are in the Air Force sir, the time is 2:40pm, If you are in the Navy, Sir, the time, Sir is 14:40 sir, and if you are in the Army, Mickey's big hand is on the 8 and his little hand is almost to the 5........"

Yeah, and we prayed the VC would stay away so he would not call in artillery.Wow! I knew the guy that meme was designed to make fun of.
Oh, to have a cold can of ham and mothers.SOS was a "hot" meal. MRE's were worse than SOS. I hear they have candy and stuff in them now. We used to eat the powdered drink flavoring stuff dry as our desert.
Stand by to stand by, there might be a maybe.
Okinawa to Phu Bai was a nice nap too.Best sleep I ever had was while packed in like a sardine listening to the engines drone.

My AC-130 story: Was flying a Red Flag Exercise night ops with AC-130s. They had 50cal MGs with magnesium impregnated rounds, IR TV guided. They would fire on a target which caused the rounds to "sparkle". We would roll in hot on the bloom, and passing thru the 130 altitude, would call "bullseye" so they would stop shooting (to avoid hitting us). Then everything went pitch black until we reached release altitude, and pickled our bombs. Spooky. The cool thing was they had video recorders and during the debrief, we could see the target, the sparkling, and our own bomb hits.Gotta love the C-130
