Happy birthday to the USAF

Former and active duty personnel , I’m still a little pissed that you never had inflight movies or refreshments hauling our airborne asses to a DZ.

Ok sorry I tried to be a adult it is a work in progress. Look on the brighter side the air force is not as fat as the navy your close but the swabbies got you beat on most plump branch of service. Maybe you all will get a birthday card from trump resorts Scotland.

If there wasn't a war movie, we saw a Dracula or Frankenstein movie.

Went with 2 brothers and at times also 2 neighbor boys
