Re: Question for the Airpower Guy

OK, OK...

Assuming this guy hasn't been, um, debriefed yet:

Phone: RING....RING...RIIIING

Lt Col: Hello?

CSAF: Is this Lt Col _____ who was on Fox last night?

Lt Col: Yes. Who is this?

CSAF: You don't recognize my voice?

Lt Col: (Oh, sh**) General Jumper?

CSAF: Score! So, do you know why I'm calling?

Lt Col: (Probably not to congratulate me on my uniform preflight) Sir, I think I have an idea...and, uh, I'm sorry...I have no idea how that happened.

CSAF: So, what are your desires for your next station?

Lt Col: Um, Thule, Greenland?

CSAF: Close enough. Have a nice day.

Lt Col: Thank you, sir...

Phone: CLICK...

There, but for the grace of God, go I.

Poor bastard...

Instapilot
P.S. John Jumper is a s**t hot general...methinks he would be the first to recognize that this guy's life is (or about to be) miserable enough...

Doesn't the Air Force still have a base at Reykjavik, Iceland? Sounds just as forsaken, but the duty is much pleasanter. Worth a try.

Yeppers there is an *agreed area* up in Iceland. But that would be NAS Keflavik the other side of the bay from Reykjavik. And all services where there. It is also the International airport for Iceland. the weather sucks....but the women are stunning, as are the northern lights.

My sister would beg to disagree about Reykjavik. Per my memory of her letters, she had a miserable 6 months there, spent mostly inside as it was too cold to be outdoors.

Hmmmm, I wonder what she did to be sent there?

...It's kind of a pity the DEW Line isn't there anymore. I went in long enough ago that it was still a valid threat.

Well, he can always be sent to guard the deact sites - on the off chance we want to react them for the ABM Defense system...

There's always Shemya, isn't there?
