    Halliburton Suitcases

    I have no doubt about that. I work in supply and see the prices on some of the stuff the military buys.

    Do you buy organic?

    I buy organic every so often, but do not really go out of my way to do so.

    Vintage traveling kit

    I will have to get some photos of it. The links to the ones on the auction were taken down not too long after it ended.

    Halliburton Suitcases

    I like aluminum, or aluminium if you prefer, and stainless stuff so picked up this Halliburton suitcase, on eBay of course. It is in pretty good shape and hopefully real. The cloth inside is in good condition. Other than the dings and someone's name on it, I think I can polish that out, it...

    Vintage traveling kit

    I picked up one like that a few months ago. I am not sure how old it is. All the containers are chrome plated, except for a couple that look like they may be for pills or the like.

    Are we becoming more lazy?

    I can see it being a little of both: Instant gratification, I am reminded of Homer Simpson not wanting to wait forty seconds to flash-fry a buffalo, and laziness. I have watched people drive around a parking lot for five minutes to get a space 20 feet closer, then walk 10 feet out of the way to...

    I'll be sorry I asked but...

    To each his own I suppose. However, aside from the fact I am in the Air Force, I never see myself with any, even after I retire.

    No wonder Ebay rules

    Just do not get it from eBay, :D and unless you want to get all new peripherals, stick with the 32 bit one. Or better yet, wait until the stop supporting XP all together. A side note on Vista, the Microsoft rep was demonstrating it and it did not want to cooperate with him. Nothing like...

    No wonder Ebay rules

    I could not remember exactly that it was they would do. And of course it is their call on the counterfeit quality. It seems they just started cracking down heavily on it and that is why you just started seeing their warning. They have know about it for a few years, but waited until now to do...

    No wonder Ebay rules

    I went to an AMD Tech Tour not too long ago and Microsoft was part of the presentation. If you have the disc and packaging and it is a very good counterfeit Microsoft is supposed to either replace it or discount a valid cd key. I cannot remember which one exactly. One of the other attendees...

    New U.S. Air Force uniform protoypes

    Yep, when I get mine to fit the shoulders it hangs off of my torso almost enough to put someone else in there. When using the blousing belt it has so much material folded under it is unreal. We are allowed to tailor the Honor Guard uniform, but that does not help my regular service dress...

    New U.S. Air Force uniform protoypes

    I hate the business suit we have now. I like the looks of the Mitchell, but have to agree with Wingnut, there is no taking the jacket off until you get home. Although as much as I wear one it would not be too big a deal. When I am performing Honor Guard duties we always wear the service dress...

    Show us your vehicles

    '70 Beetle I have a '70 VW Beetle, well the body is a '70, it has several parts from my first car, a '73 Beetle. And a few more from a 71 Super Beetle. It has been sitting for a while and as soon as I move I will start the restoration process. As it sits now, it is not a pretty picture...

    Job titles, then and now

    I like the Opus term for that, Waste-Management Artisan.

    Job titles, then and now

    I guess these are not job titles, but it kind of fits. In the Air Force we had the Chow or Mess Hall and the Motor Pool. Now we have the Dining Facility and Vehicle Operations. Of course the job title changes will come along with the organization's name change. Well, this one fits here...

    Wearing of Hats Indoors

    My main question was when shopping and such. When wearing a fedora or that type of hat I have started to leave on since it frees my hands up. If wearing an Ivy that I can roll up, I will take it off since it does not get in the way too much. In a restaurant I take it off and place it...

    Wearing of Hats Indoors

    I can relate to the PX experiences. I was at Parris Island and had just made it in and was asked by a DI to remove my cover. He was polite about it and I can see where in that type of training environment the DI's would not want any undue influences. Thanks for the information there Jack...

    Wearing of Hats Indoors

    Looks like just what I was trying to find. I guess I was looking for the wrong string of words. Thanks much Scott.
