    Yeah, well. There went at least one Air Force career.

    Oops.

    ’twas wondering how long before this hit the streets — fellow worker with me is a former Buff B/N who’d spent a healthy bit of time @ Barksdale. When we read the first reports, well, we thought the Wing Cdr would be toast, right off the bat…but just the munitions squadron cdr?

    Nice preflight by the crew…

    I’d like to think if I had a nuke on board, I’d catch it on the walk around.

    As my Drill Instructor, GYSGT Jones, USMC used to say, “Attention to detail girls, it may save your life someday. Then again, maybe it won’t.”

    When that damage report comes in, a lot more people will get assigned to scenic air force weather observation posts in Alaska, I’ll bet.
