Pelosi wants free ride on military aircraft
It's tough enough for troops to find Space-A on aircraft. Now Madam Speaker wants free rides on military aircraft in CONUS...and not just for her. Here's the link off FoxNews.

God whispers in your soul and speaks to your mind.
Sometimes when you don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at you.
It's your choice: Listen to the whisper, or wait for the brick.

Saw that earlier.
Apparently, Hastert started that practice.
Another thing to thank our previous Congress for.
And they wonder why they are out.

I say tell her yes and then fix her up with an old Air America C-47...... there could be one or two in the bone yard to bring back just for her.

Let then all ride, with the troops, dressed like the troops, delivered like the troops so they can continue to show that tremedous respect for the troops they all seem to profess. "SIX MINUTES".........................................

Hmmmm.....I think my squadron is sending some guys up for NOE/SAM avoidence training soon. I'd bust a gut watching her purge her lunch in the jumpdoor.
Rule in my unit: You puke, you clean it up.

After she obtains a DOD ID card, and they create a Category 7, I'm all for the idea.

Just make sure to get the rigger to "spice" up the chute with some 80lb test suspension lines.
JMPI: Bah, yer good. (flipping down reserve panel and clipping cable with leatherman)
Have fun!
