Hate to leave y’all with a cliffhanger like this on a Friday, but-
Ah, who am I kidding? I get a kick out of it.
I also get a kick out of hearing what y’all think is going to happen. So, let’s hear it!
For you non-AWACker types, ASO stands for Air Surveillance Officer, and T-3 is an identifier for an Air Surveillance Technician, which I used to be. They stuck us way in the back, right under the giant spinning radar dish. Nice, huh?
-Farva

Hmmm, what can it be? I hate having to wait over the weekend to find out more…
“Farva” had been spotted !!
Look at the RIO’s callsign on the F-18.

Oh, Leia’s about to find out about Badger Ops the hard way, huh? (sts)
That explains why Farva glows in the dark!
So, after riding under that dish, you are now sterile? Or your kids will have blond eyes and blue hair?
And any he does have will all be girls.
not necessarily….I spent more time under the skunk-flavored m&m than Farva did, and my first child was a boy!
I don’t want to crapify the Veteran’s Day discussion thread, so I held off posting this:

Eh, I disagree with the old man. If it was released on veterans day or marketed as being in conjunction with veterans day, that would be tacky. But just because it happens to be on the same week? Games get released on a regular basis, if not this game then some other would have been. Does he expect a moratorium a week before and a week after? I think this guy had a bad experience and just doesn’t like war games (which is his right), but trying to attack it because it’s released somewhat close to veterans day is just grasping at straws. He’s just looking for a reason to be even more upset about something he doesn’t like.
ugh. the AWACS? the RJ does it better
Not in this case.
OK, I just canNOT get used to Farva’s boob gravatar!!!
Time to launch the 69th… with an unexpected new member?
Badger Ops! Barbie’s gonna splash a bogy and Leia’s gonna freak!
Or even better.. Leia splashes one and Barbie has to see it go down! Can you imagine th elook on his face then? It’d be enough to make his hair grow back!
BALLOON BOY! HE’S FINALLY COMING HOME!
Hey, at least it didn’t come with an “oh yeah, and I’m TDY for the next week and I can’t draw any strips.”
But I definitely think its safe to say we got ourselves a new member of badger ops.
Hey Farva, Didn’t know you were an AST – pretty cool. As an ASO currently in the 962nd – I would be thinking Bear bomber – but that’s far too easy and your T3 seems slightly worried or confused…Is it an alien? Do yuo have skyline on the mind? lol
Yeah, I was in the 62nd from May ’02 to May ’05.
Personally, I’m curious as to how she’ll react when she learns her father is alive and well…
Farva’s going to explain to us with the next comic just what exactly that was off the coast of California this week!
I can’t wait to escape the cesspool of being an AST… MC-12 here I come!
I think it’s a Canadian UAV invasion.
Nah, we didn’t waste any money on RCVs; our invasion is going to come from [REDACTED]
Yessir! Sorry, sir! Won’t happen again, sir!
Uh, yeah; forget I said anything…
(In all honesty, our ‘invasion’ has been going on for decades; we’ve infiltrated your entertainment industry and subtly affected you through what you watch and listen to. Part of a LONG list of Cannuckistani moles: Lorne Greene, Donald Sutherland, William Shatner, Lorne Michaels, Dan Ackroyd, Matt Frewer, Don’s son Kiefer, James Cameron, Michael J. Fox, John Candy, Art Hindle, Eugene Levy, David Cronenberg (sorry – it was either let him show you his nightmares or let him show US them), Ivan Reitman, Paul Haggis, Tom Green (sorry about him, too; he never said he’d do that shit in any of the briefings), Seth Rogen…
…and that’s just the *men*.
But didn’t you ever wonder why Hollywood got so bleeding-heart socialist over the past few decades? Canada’s more than your hat; we’re your puppet-strings! >:D )
What?! Jack Bauer is Canadian? The world doesn’t make sense anymore.
Oooh… Something from Colonel Stacy and Chicken Cannon?
Sounds like a job for the Giant Pizza Delivery Plane!
seeing you here Stef, I just cant get rid of the feeling that this is a “Chuck is that you?” situation…
Sooo…. looking at todays comic… almost looks like I am right…
Chuck, is that you?
hmmm…cant even think of what is going to happen…maybe an SR-71 from Black Ops is going to be sighted? Just me wishin. Would be cool because its my dads first plane and the AWACS was his last
Well, I konw it ain’t really about hte comic, but I was recently was introduced to this song, and I thought, man, this would must be one of Barbie’s favorites.
BTW, bit of foul language, but it’s a fighter pilot song, what do you expect?
