I worked a temporary job at Tyndall AFB
for six months. You couldn't get on
permanent
unless you were a RIFed civil servant survivor of
the Bataan Death
March or had nice tits. I didn't.
I had to get a Temporary pass for my vehicle
once a month,
and this was before 9-11. They were paranoid about security.
Of
course, it didn't prevent 9-11. Why weren't the fighter-interceptors
scrambled?
The F-15s, F-16s I saw in Hangar 5. Didn't they have them
in Washington or New
York? Were they asleep at the switch? Were they
told to stand down? Who was
giving them their orders? When I was in
the Air Force we had standing operating
procedures.

We have
Blowback. We have The Sorrows of Empire.
