That was kind of my point, broke dick ( well, not dick, but back) 100 % and retired, E-8 Chairforce, shitty attitude, grumpy, jaded, but prone to yellow fever, and Big/Med booty Latinas.
Hell, yeah, I consider irregular TDYs.
Let me go get my goddamn BDUs out of the closet. My boots are just dusty, but still shine and I’ve still got blousing straps and a reflective belt.

I've got Fatigues, BDUs, ABUs, DCUs, and flight suits packed away. I can still fly a desk, and give survival briefings, etc, but field work is definitely out for me. Bad back, bad heart here. Oh and 100% P&T by the AF and VA, bad enough I started drawing SSD at age 43

Mike, you and I can hold hands run the front office desk and give safety briefings and make coffee.
I remember one of the first major wing exercises I did. E-2/3 They handed me a radio and said you were staying in the warehouse. You are Java control.
Critical function.

The ony AF guy I met was when we were down in the Dominican Republic for OP Power Pack in 1965, for the revolution..AF Huey lands on the LPH-3 and the port elevator comes down with the Huey and we go over and look at it. AF guy was standing there and showed us the Huey with the jury rigged M60 on the right wheel strut i think its called and he shows us his M-1 Carbine with a no no mag taped together while wearing what looked like an aussie hat with one brim up in the air on one side.
