Read carefully, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING REAL GEEEEEEZ GET OVER IT.HackerF15E said:Stony said:Are we still beating this dead horse after three years? :roll:
If you'll go back a couple of pages, you'll see that I started this up again last year in order to add a postscript to the discussion -- to correct some mis-statements that had been made earlier in the thread. It was only to ensure that future readers of the thread would have some correct information about the current USAF issue jackets.

YGBSM.
I love it -- only the "original" contract, and anything else is just an "A-2 style" jacket. Great logic there.

Please do not post any pictures of your junk.HackerF15E said:269sqnhudson said:Do you often take photos of your medals?
It was a staged photo for the purposes of that particular post.
So, no.
It's pretty standard fare to take photos of toys surrounded by militaria to make interesting composition. Let's see...they do that on the watch forums, the gun forums, etc...all for the same effect.
If I really wanted to stroke myself and show off (which is what I assume you are implying by posting that), there are a lot better ways I could do it.
I like Hacker15E's pictures, and hope he keeps posting them....every last one of them. We are all exceptionally lucky to have Hacker15E and the others who are currently serving participating on this Forum. The insight they offer is something I always look forward to reading.chitchat said:Hacker15E....

Let us also not forget that these guys are putting it on the line for us everyday. Without their continued sacrifice and efforts, we might not have the luxury of being able to freely voice our opinions on venues like this forum.
Hacker15E......thank you for spending some of your precious off time with us, and keeping us all safe and free. I really appreciate it!

Yea, like Brett Favre's forum "hey babe here's a picture of my junk what ya think?jnlight75 said:I'm pretty sure chitchat wasn't referring to the medals - rather a lack of interest in seeing any photos of f15hacker's "junk". That would be material for a completely different forum.

If you are referring to the modern 'A-2', it isn't about that. I mean the Air Force can call it an A-2, and send it to the moon on official business, but if it's got hand warmer pockets ...
