Wheeeoooo! The Marines are *still* getting all the girls. It just ain't right.

Marine scoring in Iraq.

HADITHA DAM, Iraq - Television host and Former NFL cheerleader, Bonnie Jill Laflin, kisses Lance Cpl. Christopher A. Gass, a Wichita, Kan., native and Marine infantryman with 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment during a Super Sunday Tour visit with here, Feb. 4. NFL celebrities like Byars, Nick Lowery, Christian Okoye, Bryan Cox and Bonnie Jill Laflin, spent the day with U.S. Marines and sailors of the Camp Pendleton, Calif.-based infantry unit.

Comrades, Hey! That chick from Oz! She's blocking the view of that gogeous P-3 Orion!....... Seriously now, I understand the need for that "ghost-grey" cammo technique, but I still miss all the tail color splashes and the white-over-gull grey scheme they used to have. Got hundred's of hours in those bird, chasing the 'russkies all over the sea, running down drug boats, and lifting in cases of wine from the Azores. sigh. Now, you might ask, what's the NAVY doing with those over in Iraq? Glad you asked. Seems the sensor package on these sweet turboprops are excellent for convoy overwatch, as in TRUCK CONVOY. Yup.. swabbies watching the airspace while the Army and Marines bring home the goods... Nice work if you can get it. The P-3 is grossly over powered, highly maneuverable, and can operate with ease from 300 fett above ground to 28K. Plus it comes with a nice galley for fresh coffee and snacks, complete meals if you like, a private toilet, 2 beds for crew rest, and complete air conditioning package. Plus a crew of 10 (though it has seat belt and passenger stations for up to 21). I miss those birds, but life goes on:) Respects to all, AW1 Tim

I used to have a running mate with VP-44 up in Brunswick (yet another instance of the Navy/Marine Corps Team...) We both bemoaned the loss of the Golden Pelican" tail flash... Made them P-3Cs look snazzy... Good on that young bootneck for gettin' a peck from a purty lady!

She came into the TOC on a Wednesday in October '01 looking for a ride on the shuttle flight from Tuzla to Butmir. Problem was, the Butmir shuttle ran on Tuesday and Thursday. When she plunked down in the TF commander's lap, he scrambled the QRF bird and told the PC, "*urrk* Butmir. Direct. Tuttle. Fix. Flightplan." I think that the TOC door finally got fixed sometime in December...

Bill, Where's the button I'm supposed to push to get subtitles? I get your drift, but the story is like a spiderweb. Was the lapsitting arousing or scary?
 
By jim b on February 15, 2006 9:19 AM
Okay that answers that question. It's too late for aspirin to do any good. Maggin help Bill to back to his hospital bed wouldja?
 
By Maggie on February 15, 2006 9:46 AM
Hey Bill, Is the bed fully electric? They are fun to play with. C'mere, I'll show ya. Jim - Do I need the nurse's uniform?
 
By jim b on February 15, 2006 9:47 AM
So while Bill recuperates, I will tour the lovely ladies of theothersideofkim. My goodness how that place demonstrates the power of black and white photography. And the flashback to life on the wicked wicked stage. Of the first 20 lovely ladies, my own pick is Louise Brooks. Total chemistry. Electricity. That last shot of her is sooooooooooo Chicago.
 
By jim b on February 15, 2006 9:51 AM
I said while Bill recuperates Maggie, you know how he got when you put on the nurse's thingie last time.
 
By Maggie on February 15, 2006 9:55 AM
Sorry Jim - it's just that you liked it so much last time.

By Heartless Libertarian on February 15, 2006 10:26 AM
You know, John, the Army guys in Iraq did get Jessica Simpson, who ain't half bad. Even got her for an extra night by getting some of Bill's buddies to fly real low and claim a sandstorm was coming.
 
By Maggie on February 15, 2006 12:34 PM
Sean Connery mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
 
By cw4(ret)billt on February 15, 2006 12:42 PM
Maggie - Don't forget the kilt. Almost as cute as the nurse's outfit, huh?
 
By jim b on February 15, 2006 12:57 PM
My personal favorites are #3 .. she just does things to me. I also like #40, Teri Garr. The rest of them .... well up to 70 so far, nothing! And definitely the guys.
 
By jim b on February 15, 2006 12:59 PM
