    Maybe he was talking about the "herd" of fat hookers that hang out down by the Bahnhof??

    So hows the access to airline stewardesses... uh female flight attendants?
    The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved. - Confucius

Where the fuck where they before the war? There is a comedy club here in Reno that is offering free admission to anyone with an active duty military card. A buddy of mine who is in the Air Natonal Guard and has been to the sand box was not let in free because his card didn't say active duty. Fuck these mother fuckers. Just like after 9/11/01 every swingdick and jane out there was flying a flag, now the only ones you see out there are the ones that were flying on 9/10/01. Mother fucking bandwagon bitches. :evil:


    Ho-ahh!

    Oh, I'd say it happens quite often. I can personally attest to about 1 out of every 3 getting upgraded if they're in uniform.

    That is, if they're escorting a fallen servicemember...

    My brother in-law to be came home for R&R on Halloween and had a layover @ DFW. We were able to get through security and get onto the secure side of things and hang with him for a while before he had to catch his connecting flight to his destination. The gentleman at the gate was kind enough to not only upgrade him to 1st Class, but the other young man who was also on the same flight and serving as well.

    Also, for those of you who are NOT aware of it....every year at Alliance Airport, American Airlines holds the SkyBall (2009 was Skyball VII) at one of their hangers. I was able to help with the setup and I must say, it was quite something. I wanted to attend that night, but sadly was unable to. Hopefully I can this year...

    A "immediate family member" on duty with ISAF (international security assistance force) who is ARMY and traveled in multicams was given a FREE FIRST CLASS UPGRADE by american airlines this Monday. I couldn't believe it!! It was a very nice gesture, and I know they appreciated it (having NEVER FLOWN 1st class!)

    I still haven't seen a troop in First Class. I fly a dozen or more times a year and it's First Class 85% of the time. I'm going to start reminding them at the gate.
