LOL…i guess we all have a similar story. Mine was when the control tower superviser wanted my ass for crossing his runway leading a convoy of “special” weapons. The base commander asked him if he would have wanted me to stop the convoy because the convoy commander had not asked permission in time. The WHOLE flightline knew what we were moving, including the tower who had shut down flight ops. I got a “If anyone asks, we took your license for 2 days” speech from my commander.

So I’m glad you will continue blogging. I read BRK for the Humor, Airman Howell (Dirty Lil Secret: I’m a damned Army Reservist), and dialogue with Brain. Having said that, I want more stories of you trying to perform “basic maintenance” on the Z. I stopped working on vehicles once I realized that computers are more of the motor than manifolds, belt timing, and such now. Keep up the good work.

But was your replacement window any more secure?

Oh man, I just saw the other AMH story. You are transferring them all over. Guess that’s what I get for reading the blog in reverse order. Hope you have some more to tell somewhere down the line.

I love the Airman Howell stories! But I think this one was on BRK before. I quit playing WoW months ago, and really only kept checking your blog for AMH, so I’m glad more will (hopefully) follow at your new home.

Wow, they took away a medal for breaking a window that could probably be easily replaced anyway. :p
Anyway I loved, and will always love your military stories Mr. Howell. And I have to say nothing beats your ORI story
Thanks for the blog!

What airman Howell did was break into a restricted area. That being said, it was a restricted area guarded by plywood…..

And here is the thing, as much as it sucks. The only information the OSI and the RAF had was that some one was seen breaking into a restricted area. The situation should have been properly explained, but even then you’ll have some stickler officer who can’t see past his nose who’ll want your ass on a platter. Daniel is honestly lucky that situation didn’t go badly.

Still, a medal woulda been cool.

Excellent story as always.

Still breaking the talking in plurals habit, though? Caught a “we” and an “us” in there, big guy.
