2. Decide to be aggressive enough, quickly enough.
3. Have a plan.
4. Have a back-up plan, because the first one probably won't work.
5. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
6. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun whose caliber does not start with a "4."

Hey. Don't diss the PowerPoint presentation. That's the bread and butter of Air Force efficiency. :-D
"All your funding are belong to us..." :-D
There's a reason people call it the Chair Force. :-D
They always make fun of the smart ones...
Proof positive of the position I've taken for many years, I went into the Air Force to get out of the military and into PMEL to get out of the Air Force. :-D

I have always said the AirForce is a club, you know " M.I.C....K.E.Y...M.O.U.S.E mickey mouse la la la... :evil:
I am glad that you are passed denile and have accepted that you were never in the military, just the AirForce.
Just kidding. I don't anyone sending the leg breakers after me. Just a little poking at our friends in blue :-D
Like I said before, they always make fun of the smart ones... :-)
I guess that's why the AirForce does not have a real Nuke program like the Navy. Their too smart for nuclear energy. Just kidding still just poking fun.. :-D

Now you remember the nukes right?????????
If I remember right from my time at F.E Warren AFB, our nuclear missles flew just as far as the Navy's. We just didn't see the need to complicate things by launching them from underwater... :-)
A little different application than a nuclear-powered boat, I understand, but the USAF had it's nuke program as well. Ours was not designed to make something go, just to make something go away...
Shoot the enemy? That's a nice job for the Army or Marines. Awfully messy, though, and a little tough on the enlisted ranks...
VAPORIZE the enemy? Call the Air Force and the Navy, and we'll git 'er done. They even have officers to push the buttons.
I was speaking of Power Generation not ballistic missles. However, our ballistic missle program is far ahead of the AirForce. The Navy can do what the AirForce can do, but only better. Hell we even fly planes better. :-D
Remember, it was not the AirForce's nuke's the U.S.S.R was afraid of. It was the Trident Nuclear Submarine. You See your a sitting target out in the open at the controls of a AirForce silo. However, sitting at the controls of a nuke, underwater where no one knows where you are including your own country, that's what scared the hell out of the Reds. :-D
I will say that the AirForce has better looking women. I never once seen a good looking female sailor. All I ever seen in the Navy were fat " Sea Cows ". Why did we get all the ugly ones?
I've seen the Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels, and I have to say that if I'm sending a pilot in to hostile airspace to do a tricky "package delivery," I'd be hard-pressed to pick who's better!
As far as missile systems, how good do you have to be? Get it to +/- 5 miles of your target, and you're good to go! The missile jocks in Wyoming used to say "Just let us know what window of the Kremlin you want it in, and make sure it's open..." Again, another product of good calibration. My clocks from the PTFC gave the missile guidance systems accurate time, which they used to figure out where they were, and consequently hit their target(s).
Bottom line for me: if you want to hit it from afar with minimal risk to personnel and equipment- call the Air Force or Navy. We deliver "shock and awe." You want to get up close and personal- call the Army or Marines. You want to deliver a very unwelcome greeting off our shores- the Coast Guard will be happy to oblige.
