Military Laughs

Would you drink out of one of these today?

What was the best way to get these to shine properly?

How old were you when you joined the Military?

Not many people reach this level of satisfaction in their lives.

How did the B-52 get its nickname, BUFF?

Despite being a 65+ year old airframe, only 5 B-52s have crashed since 1991. Although over 70 have been lost due to operational crashes and accidents over its lifespan, recent losses have been rare. Most of the losses were from combat or early-era incidents. 3 FEB 1991: Tail 59-2593 crashed into the Indian Ocean during Desert Storm when the crew encountered electrical and engine problems in flight. 24 JUN 1994: Tail 61-0026 crashed at Fairchild AFB during practice for an airshow. It stalled during a "go-around." 21 JUL 2008: Tail 60-0053 crashed on a flyby mission for Guam's Liberation Day parade. Improper stabilizer trim setting. 19 MAY 2016: Tail 60-0047 overran the end of the runway during an aborted takeoff, crashed and burned at Anderson AFB, Guam. Reported cause was birds ingested into the four right-side engines. Then yesterday's incident. There are a lot of questions, understandably, about yesterday's horrific loss. Time will reveal the cause. Praying for the friends and families of the dearly departed.

After an intense day of severe thunderstorms, lightning strikes near the B-52 static display on August 5, 2020 at the U.S. Air Force Academy.

NOOOOOOOOOO! There's literally nothing left... B-52 just crashed shortly after takeoff at Edwards Air Force Base.

There’s really nothing like it.

If the A-10 had a theme song, what would it be?

Is there anything the C-130 can't do?

South Korea requires all able-bodied male citizens to perform mandatory military conscription by age 28. Should the US do the same?

In the Marines, you are a Rifleman first. In the Army, you are a Janitor first.

Did you know? The B-52 used to have a tail gun and gunner! Early models (A through F) used a quad-.50 caliber machine-gun turret with a dedicated gunner. G and H models moved the gunner to the front main cabin firing the guns remotely. In 1991, all tail guns were removed.

We’re getting new engines!! The thrust in the new Rolls Royce engines is similar, but they are 20-30% more fuel efficient, allowing for longer flights between refueling

@SGTWipper1Each Good old FOD walk

Most people have no idea what's going on here.

How do you know if someone is a Veteran? Can you tell by looking at them?

What was your good idea or dream that the Military stopped dead in its tracks?

Show me a more useless piece of military gear...
