Local Talk Host Rides With Blue Angels

It definitely has it's place, don't get me wrong. But I think more emphasis needs to be given also to the enlisted troops that do the daily grind. You know what I mean.

I'm behind you 100% Mike. I agree. Its nice to do the PR stuff, but they've gotta think about their comrads behind them. One thing I loved about the Coast Guard was even though I was a boat mechanic, we got rides in the CG helo's all the time for fun. Granted its not a jet, but it sure was fun to fly in the helo at 100 feet off the water and play in the door.

i havent laughed that hard in a long time. this guy is hilarious. i mean i dont think i could do any better but he is a funny dude. the moans are the best especially at the end when his head drops. sorry i just had to laugh.

yeah he is nuts. He has a goofy radio show with a bunch of random stuff. They have this inside joke about fans of the state basketball team--University of Kentucky. Some of them call into the radio station and complain when they are doing charity for children that the station should be doing "basketball". The radio hosts make fun of it. Also, I loved his joke on there about "Indiana: basketball and popcorn".

Right on. The USAF and USN waste all this time and money taking these idiot sports figures and celebrities on rides in fighters, when the enlisted troops who are working 14 average hours a day maintaining these planes, getting paid squat, never seeing their families, etc; have barely the chance for the occasional 1 or 2 "incentive" slots per year.

Definitely a mis-prioritization of resources if you ask me.

aint that a surprise, coming from you ;-)
