Unhappy Light blue problem.

Whilst sympathizing with this guy's problem, which was possibly caused by the subject of his briefing, I wonder if he will be able to maintain his flying status and pay ?

Very glad he was not wearing dark blue uniform !

Faint Blue

Air Force Major General FAINTS in the middle of a press briefing about $120bn F-35 fighter program.


The bit that was missing previously above !

Unless thing shaved changed in the last 20 years, since I retired, flight pay - actually "Aviation Incentive Pay" goes away sometime after 20 years service unless you're actually in a flying assignment. It's likely this general officer was not on flying pay.

I fainted during an assembly once when I was 13 years old. Never fainted again.

Michael Stipe (REM fame) can faint on a whim.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

The first post was obviously a feint.

We had several cadets faint on parade during initial training. Proves you know how to stand perfectly still.

Maybe he just turned around and actually saw her face?

There's gurning and then there's gurning.

To some folk it comes naturally.

I think I'll use the picture to frighten the grandchildren.

It's very rare you see the glove puppeteer in real life, it only happens in slip ups like this.
