Fifteen years of blissful civilian life ended when I re-upped with the Air National Guard recently.   It took time getting back into the swing of things, and after a particularly rough day I missed chow, which meant dinner would be a dreaded MRE: Meal Ready to Eat.  As I sat on my bunk staring at "dinner," I said to a far younger airman, "Well, I guess we just have to get used to roughing it."  "Dude, tell me about it, "he said.  "We only get basic cable!"      Kingsley Slone

I was at the Dayton Air Museum a few weeks back - and they had a display showing how the air force guys where ruffing it in the middle east !!!!!    Holy cow, they AC, private rooms ect 

I can remember a tent and a sand floor on a cot  ??? AC was a raised flap on the tent    Of course I was  in the Marine Air Wing and we had tents    unlike the regular Marines that had a fox holes  ???

It's all about perspective...

When I was on the submarine... it was a hardship when the A/C went out.  But then again, we didn't have TV, and had to hot-rack.  Plus we were away from home port about 300 days a year.  And I had to work 90 hour work weeks when we were in home port.

But I didn't have to sleep in the sand, or the mud, and I never got shot at once!
