I guess I was in a different Air Force. From 1983 to 2004 when I went TDY I stayed in a hotel only once. That was September of 2001 in Cairo Egypt as advance team setting up for a Brightstar exercise. It went from exercise mission to real world shit show quickly.
tsquared, p-lease ... I was in the Army and in a barracks with fifty other guys in Pleiku. At the Air Force Base the lowest of ranks had private rooms. I can go on ......
Odie, I've heard that from the Marines, too. I was AF from '73-93' and except for the internet thing, which wasn't a thing then, we were pretty much always in Transient quarters. And when hubby and I were able to go TDY together, we were put in TOQ. So yes, that meme is about right.
Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.

DeleteLindaG, Wow 20 years. You served above and beyond. Thank you so much for your service.
DeleteThe Air Force has a huge budget and aren't afraid to spend it on their people.
Hahahahaha! Love the last one. But the first one could explain a lot of our problems now. ;-) Thanks, Odie. :)
ReplyDeleteYou all be safe and God bless.
LindaG, that dog is a hoot, huh.
