Good luck Airman Ba! Enjoy it, have many hijinks and report back on your happenings on the board!

(My brother was in the RAF and I have many funny stories that all unfortunately began with "You can't tell anyone this, but one time, we were in Germany and there was this..." I can say, though, that one involved a missile (not live), a white van and a ferry. And ended with me asking "And you weren't arrested???"* )

*Stories were all confirmed at a reunion several years ago, in which many wives were looking at their husbands with the 'we're going to be having words when we get home' look.

Stay safe!

Don't get your privates shot off, Airman Ba.

And roman shouldn't have anything to worry about from Ba. to quote GTA: San Andreas: "You're not a British Tank; you'll be fine."

Amen to Garner's first statement. And does Ba plan on becoming an astronaut? (way to spread the Church's message across the galaxy!)

Well, good luck Ba!

Try not to get killed. You'd be missed! By someone. Probably.

Good look Ba by the way, and say hello to Boothby for me.

Goodness, take care Airman Ba, do you have any idea what job you are going to train for? Mike is in avionics and he seems to have been able to stay fairly out of the sand pit. He has a while to go though. I'm not sure how long he will be at Ellsworth but if you are ever in the same place I'll make sure you know. He had people looking out for him when he went different places so he and Dani can return the favor if the opportunity arises. Be safe and Thank you for your service to our country.

Sorry to hear about the guy breaking his leg. I wonder how that could have happened? Anyway, best of luck and best wishes.

*Slides a pastry into Redneck's pocket* Indeed. So mysterious, that accident...

Ba's going to train to become an Airborne Linguist. It will be an interesting career.

And no, Ba is not going to shoot himself into space. That's what minions are for.

Thanks for all of the good wishes. May all be blessed with pie. Except Doors.

Ba would trust minions to shoot him into space?

Hmm...

Anyways, best of luck, don't get shot or anything like that.
By the way, what does an airborne linguistic expert do? Exactly?

I was wondering that too... After all, we all know from watching Stargate that the US Air Force only ever encounters people who speak perfect American.


Damn Spider pig
