(she was

    Airman Snuffy McDufflebag did it! I mean it. He really did it. He lived up to the old adage "The sun even shines on a dog's ... face sometimes, Uh no! That's not it. OK, this one "Even a blind pig can find ... corn," No! Alright "If ties are like kissing your sister then losing is like kissing your

    Unless you just arrived here or have no TV, can't read, really have trouble focusing at work and are deaf, you know there is an inspection beginning this week. As Col. "Tip" Stinnette said in his awe-inspiring Pattonesque speech to the members of Team Incirlik, we all know when the time comes "We'll

    I got a new motto for you, "CAC cards - Don't leave home without them." Let that soak in for a second. Then replace CAC cards with gate passes, blue books, passports and any other official documents you have to keep up with at the 'Lik.' Before I get started, I do have a question. Why do we call

    After returning from my TDY, I was anxious to do my part in helping the displaced Americans from Lebanon. The base was all a buzz, building the Patriot Village, while providing housing, telephone access, a 24-hour BX/Shoppette, a children's play area, chaplain's assistance and medical services for

    I was at the hospital finishing up some last minute out processing for an up coming TDY when I ran into my good friend, Master Sgt. Jonny Mentor. He had this look on his face like his dogs, Tango and Cash, got ran over by somebody speeding through housing. Slow it down people, my kids play out

  • The Misadventures of Airman Snuffy McDufflebag and Master Sgt. Johnny Mentor

    I usually have lunch with Master Sgt. Johnny Mentor every other week and he tells me the stories about the Airmen he supervises.
