To our Montana Members: If you hurry you might be able to get your own Nuke.
« on: August 20, 2013, 02:48:10 PM »
B-1B crashes in Montana.  No one hurt (other then the usual bumps and bruises from a high speed ejection).

Bring your own strainer to sift through the wreckage.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Damnation, I don't get my pay check until Friday, so can't fly over until then. At that point, all the nuculur bombz will probably be taken by others. =(
Viking wants big boom.

Cover story.  It was really a B-3 bomber and a local park ranger has been kidnapped.  The 2 missiles are currently missing along with both pilots.

Those damn Aliens kidnapped the crew and made it look like an accident.  Or did Bush do it?

Big bombz make big booms, obviously.

Seems legit. Nobody would ever make *expletive deleted*it up on the internet, right?

Extreme SE Montana.

That corner seems to be a magnet for AF bomber crashes.

I got a real good funny story about that from long ago.


Recently out of shipyards and we had just recertified to carry "special weapons". We were up on the instrumented weapons range near Vancouver Is. During a drill in which the scenario was that one of the "special weapons" had been damaged with release of "special" material and loss of life.
Radioman was supposed to prepare the message and get it approved. Somehow the message was actually transmitted. Much hilarity ensued.

And yet it probably was not a career-ending incident.

But then, just how much career does a radioman have to look forward to?  Seriously, what's the upward path from swab jockey to paint chipper to ... I got nothing else to put there.

stay safe.

He was an E-6/RM1(SS) at the time. I don't remember any serious discipline issue coming from it. He was kind of a dufus and managed to do several things that should have cost him a stripe but didn't, like the 3rd time he screwed up the line up for blowing san tanks in port and blew the contents all over the galley, an hour before breakfast.
I lost track of him after that boat so I have no idea if he ever made Chief.

I suppose going on a hike and losing some cans of stuff you bought from United Nuclear would be frowned upon...
