Yesterday I got my first experience riding in a C-130. Granted, we didn’t take off, but I did sit in the thing for three hours sweating my nuts off waiting to do, well, anything.
I’m already ready for Mustache March to be over. I’ve decided in order to win the Worst Mustache category, you have to beat mine. It’s God-awful. Some of the hairs point up. If my wife were here and I kept growing this thing, we’d be talking to lawyers. When I take pics at the end of the month, y’all will be embarrassed for me. After this is over, I’m going to Nair my upper lip so I never have to be reminded of this horror again.
Ok, that’s not fair. I won’t enter my own contest. But it’s really bad.
See y’all Monday (and perhaps if you check the site on Sunday you’ll find a little sumtin’ sumtin’)!

A lot of people on facebook are already throwing in the towel for their mustache. Either for the way it looks, feels or the crack den that its become for getting shit stuck in it.
My husband got out of the AF back in Jan. so he’s been sporting a small beard, since he’s never had the chance to see what it’s all about.
It’s gray, that’s what it is.
I’m done in April…trying to figure out what to do as well…but did notice that the “Grays” aren’t too kewl!!!
I still have those hairs that stick out every which way, and the only solution is to pluck them. I’ve just come to the realization that I’ve had a ‘stache longer than I was without. I think it would be just strange to be without one now.
I’ve been keeping my shaved down, but now that I’m on leave till the end of the month, I’ll let it grow. Probably get tired of it after a couple days, but I’ll try anyways.
Challenge accepted! As I’ve said earlier…I expect to win Worst Mustache hands down. But I am definitely ready for March to be over!!!!
I like me a little Sumthin Sumthin!
I was growing my mustache for Mustache March, however our Area 3 instructors here at the SecFo academy made us shave them off before we head off to Camp Bullis. Not happy. My upper lip is now very cold.
Did half my last season with the T-Birds riding “Herks” (there’s a good reason for that name!) during Desert Shield. Cross country flights are LOOOOONNNGGGG! I was fortunate enough to get a ride on “Christine” Blue Angel’s replacement for “Fat Albert” while it was in depot. Blue Angels use JATO launch….HIGHLY RECOMEND it if you ever get an opportunity. It was a BLAST!
haha… Farva so now you sorta know what we get to go through here at Fort Dragg, in the 82d airplane gang…. and they wonder why we hate them soo much some times…..
Mine’s just about all the way in, just has to thicken out a bit. On a side note, two years ago I won best mustache by growing it twice in the month; I slipped shaving and took half of it off 13 days in, and had to shave it and re-grow.
“Mine’s just about all the way in, just has to thicken out a bit.” SO TO SPEAK.
Sweet! Stop by the flight deck… I just might be flying you!
“Granted, we didn’t take off, but I did sit in the thing for three hours sweating my nuts off waiting to do, well, anything.”
hahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahaha.
Man, I can’t wait to see that ‘stache! There’s nothing quite like failing gloriously…
GREAT alt text!
“…sweating my nuts off waiting to do, well, anything.”..STS!!!
No Rob, there was no innuendo there. It was just outright stated. Do we need remedial STS training again?
Isn’t that a CBT now?

C-130 Crewchiefs are like their Airplanes…They Screw their Way Around the World
