I am trying to finally get a decent nights' sleep and these damn pilots in their F18s keep flying at what seems like 15 fuckin feet over my barracks. Then they go and do their touch n gos and of course i hear every time when they go to AB, I hate being in the air wing. And every time they go by it sets car alarms off for like 10 minutes. I hate night ops and Beaufort. Rant over. I really hate sirs sometimes Pat Title edited ~ 82nd |
i'll take that over the twat waffle dumbass that drive past my house at 2am with his thug rap garbage blasting everynight. |
100% agree with that. |

I would guess he is a Marine from his screen name and the fack he says barracks instead of dorm. Also the F18 is a Marine aircraft. I feel your pain. I lived in a room 100 yards from a military runway once. It was waivered so we could live that close.  ETA: I am not saying none of you have experienced it but have any of you lived practically on a jet runway for a year or more. The loud bass music cars sound like a pin dropping in comparison. 
|
Hmmm, Beufort... Airwing... sounds like a Marine to me. |
Man! How that got by me I don't know...I guess it's time to call it a night...  |
I was joking. Don't take it seriously, as an American you have the absolute right to complain and not doing so and not expressing your opinion would be less American. Just don't go telling that to your CO. 
|
 Deal with it. Plenty of carrier crews figure out how to. |
|
Or wait until you get a job on the flightline and you are going around checking your checklist and the crewchief starts up the aircraft to function check it while you're under it because he didn't look or yell to stand clear. Happened several times so thank God I wasn't near the intake.
|
Well, I have been on the flightline for about 3 years and thankfully I am ordnance and have not ever had anyone turn one up when I was under or around the intakes. It has stopped!! night yall Pat |

I don't remember being unable to sleep on the 02 level just feet beneath night launches. They HAD to use AB's, too. This was while we were doing more launches than anyone. Harden up!! Or see if you can request mast about this burning issue. If that doesn't work buy a dress and see if they'll let you transfer to YMCA. But beware, they allow kids in the pool and the bouncing basketballs make a terrible racket.
