Weird. In the Navy, Aviation Ordnance is all the same. You could be stationed aboard ship or station building bombs, working on weapon racks 20mm or launchers at AIMD or assigned to a squadron loading ordnance. There is no rivalry. That Mk-82 only needs 4 guys to pick it up using the HLU-256. No need for a SATS loader. IYAOYAS
Prior Navy here: I said the same thing, but the big difference is the multiple types of fighters and bombers the Air Force has and having to learn those airframes and systems vs just having to know F-18s, 35s, and helos I guess. In addition, the Navy has less space and less people onboard a carrier to accomplish their mission vs a base. They are moving more into a cross-training concept a tech school now though.
A team where boundaries and rights are respected and people's lives are not put out there just as the universal law states.Where equal access to other people's lives is open to those in the team and not just one person.I would stay on such a team any day.
Congratulations. The ceremony was hugely impressive, and it was wonderful to see the 82nd TW honor both of you. The legacy of great leadership within the 82nd command is obvious. The Guidon remains in very capable hands, and I am excited to witness the continued success and innovations that will come.
Correction, it was not designed as a bomber, but an interceptor. It was a '1 trick pony' but it did it so well, and it looks so damn cool, even standing still. It's still talked about almost 70 years later.
2002 3E4X1 Graduate and Permanent Party on Sheppard with the 82nd Civil Engineering SQ from 02 to 2005. Now my son who was born there is at Lackland in boot preparing to return to Sheppard to attend Crew Chief school.
I was a 462xo at Lowry in 27113. We were weapons which maintained the aircraft systems and load. The bomb dump were bb stackers. My duty at Tahkli in 1966 was that of a cannon cocker on the F 105. You know, the A C your granddads worked on.

I wonder how you gringos still feel encouraged to fight for globohomo and blm riots. These people are taught that they should fight for a country that hates them.
The actual work in the real AF is nothing like what is presented in these films. I graduated as an Honor graduate but it meant nothing at Base X. I also graduated as an honor graduate from the field training school. Again, it went no where. We worked like dogs. We were rode hard and put away wet (as the saying goes). To this day, I have to say that I had some of the best NCO supervisors. They taught me so much about leadership. It was a useful experience but it was hard. QC was the biggest joke on that base.
