Hello everyone! Today I have a bit of a request from you. I’ve been getting a lot of emails lately from folks who want to see their career field represented in my comics more. This is great for me, and I’d love to do it, but I don’t know the ins and outs of every AFSC in our beloved Air Force. So, using the contact form, send me some of the quirks about your job you think everyone else would find funny. If you’d like to be given credit for the idea, please be sure to include your name and rank if you have one.
Keep in mind the idea may be featured in Air Force Toons (exclusive to Air Force Times) or Box D Blues.
Thanks!
-Farva
I was FIRST to see the bottle!
Still appears to be uncorked. Note well that from detail it doesn’t seem to have a screw cap on it. If Dhart brought it, which I half suspect, not having a screw off cap might be a splurge. Since it IS a red, as some argue whites go with fowl, and the General’s daughter, serving PFC Chicken would well have gone for a white, but there is that occasional disconnect in between a pilot’s ears…
I gotta remember I’m not doing data analysis here…
Awwwrtighty, Willows had a glass of the red in the 5 May and has one in the 7 May strips and the bottle top looks the same…
That’s ’cause it’s the same wine. She found a brand she liked and bought several bottles. Of course, Dhart has to drive home, so Willows is probably the only one drinking, making the bottle last that much longer.
Yeah, living arrangements don’t fit BOQ, so unless it is within walking, stalking or crawling distance… STS
Great idea, Farva! I know my Command Post troops would get a kick out of being represented!
FIRST to finally understand his name…
Um you may want to review some of the older comics if you really want to find out how Barbie got his call sign..
Oh this could go wrong in a hurry! Run Barbie, RUN!
Oh f*ck, I totally saw this coming, but didn’t want to admit it…
Suddenly, Leia is starting to look smarter than we have seen before
Hehehehheheheh. Got the fifth after a long time.
Uh oh, looks like Barbie’s caught between two redheads. Isn’t that a napalm mixture??
hmm here is what I see. If Dhart, talks barbie up, Laia might be thinking, “what am I missing” because some people just seem to want what others had. And knowing Barbie… Not sure he could handle that.
Does CAP Caditiot count as an AFSC?
Saying CAP is an AFSC is like saying a rent-a-cop is a real cop
^
No.
hey @CadetM…You know not many in the USAF really like us (CAP), Right? So its kind of helpful to set urself up to avoid scrutiny…
Just sayin…
And on the topic of the strip…Never saw this one coming…
hopefully you saw msgs about sunglasses on preflight? IKEA ACC agrees, none, I do wear my AO’s but for critical stuff, I flip em up. What color is the fuel? Is there a bug in the pitot tube? unnoticed crack somewhere?
And there was a airliner crash not too long ago where the co-pilot (shades?) failed to detect painting tape covering the static port.
fly safe, dude!!
and, to say, when I get retired from AAFES, I intend to get back with CAP. Local squadron CO wants me as a Capt, flight check guy, but man, reviewing the CAP regs, thats a lot of time involved which I cant do right now.
USAF may joke about CAP, but the history of saves, and if I ever go down, I want you folks finding ne FAST!!!
probably should have a STS in there somewheres
Not really, though the last time Barbie crossed paths with CAP, he did wind up seeing stars…
Just had to ask, because i’d love to see more Dahl Vs. CAP. it was funny the first time, imagine if there was a squadron formed at elmendork or something. xD
I’m nowhere near done making fun of CAP.
Awesome
ditto the awesome
Also if you want actual cadet personalities theres a ton roaming the forum so i’ve seen.
Gotta look at Iron Eagle again, was Doug Masters a Cappie or just a service brat?
Irony Eagle… STS?
Permission to revise and extend remarks… Barbie crossed paths with CSAR and he was seeing stars.
i love it when they poke fun at barbie but its more fun when he’s around and doesn’t get it
btw farva i love the wear your seatbelt sign across the street from the housing area on mildenhall i bet the readers would like it too
I must go find this seatbelt sign. Have you seen the street lamp near feltwell gate?
no haven’t seen it. i don’t really travel up towards feltwell that often not much there for me. if you leave the bxtra and drive to the bird in hand gate you’ll see it between housing area and washington square
I must find out who you two are so we can have a pint at the Galaxy Club. I’m there almost every Friday at 1630.
A pint at the Galaxy club, sounds like a good idea to me.
i wish i could unfortunately i work during that time at the moment but if my schedule changes up i would love that
I always did think Barbie and Dhart had sort of a Beatrice and Benedick sort of relationship…
Cookie for the reference.
Barbie iz a Sex Ma-cheeen!
its like a macheen, it like a slot macheen, it make me all dat money, like ting, ting, ting, ting, ting
(im guessing you listen to Howard Stern as well? if not the joke was lost HAHA!)
wonder what the AFSC’s of the military assigned to AAFES are?
IMHO.
I have to inqire as to why you end all of your posts with “IMHO.” Is this a catch frase that you always use…or what…very curious to know.
It is a legal disclaimer that I must say when I reference AAFES, it is in my humble opinion only. (and does not represent the views of aafes, dept’s of Air Force, Army, or Defense)
Don’t want the lawyers on the 5th floor after me, I want to retire someday. There is actually an AAFES policy on this.
Kind of like Farva’s disclaimer at the bottom.
mean trick Farva played on us yesterday
peas!
“Us?” No man, the trick was just on you…I knew what was going on.
sheese, you flamed me on spel chek, I got you back.
Don’t worry, Farva splained things and certifies you as a cool dude
(despite the fact you drink diet dr pepper, and not the real sugar Texas Dr Pepper from Dublin)
we’re cool, and not pointing out your, or anyone elses speling errs anymour.
(well, 2 in your post, but who cares?)
and, now that it occurs to me, maybe Farva (journalist) or Marco (IT guy) can edit everyones posts and correct poor spelling or grammar skills, or STS misuse….
nah….
Yes, my post did have two spelling errors…I may or may have not been baiting you.
GOD I miss Dublin Dr Pepper… I grew up in Groesbeck a town about an hour east of Waco… soooo good!!!
Deployed: Services is charged with setting up Tactical Field Exchanges (TFE) intially for Bare Base Operations then AAFES Civilians come in when sustainment operations start. Back at Main base its all civilian thank goodness.
It looks like Barbie is going to be getting into some trouble.
That’s what happens when two or more women talk about the same real person. Not a golf pro, not an actor, but an everyman like us.
Farva, I have been a fan for years. Thank you for the great comics!!
Nice pun there…
I really doubt Barbie will ever get laid in this strip.
ahahaha, he’s so clueless i don’t think he’d know what to do
FIRST comment….for me at least – lol
Long time lurker and reader, finally decided to sign up so I could comment.
Two redheads….a dangerous mixture to be sure! Cant wait to see where this goes.
Farva you pretty much got us 3P0′s down… as far as what the public sees…
@ Farva, Hey I emailed you that missing comic from Feb 08, did you get it? Just wondering. I emailed it from my Nellis account, so hopefully the strip didn’t get stripped.
Fuels already had one a few years ago, but there is so much that can be done. Hot Pits with F-15′s and having to stop because the pilot lost a skettle in the cockpit.
Perfect pun, Farva. Perfect.
for those that love dublin Dr Pepper with real cane sugar, they now ship to all 50 states. (Sorry, Farva)
go to dublindrpepper dot com
if it includes APO we wouldn’t be out of luck
damn just checked it they won’t
