Away
Sorry for not posting or even reviewing/posting the comments. Shit happens right. Also, thanks to everyone who's been commenting. I've really enjoyed reading most of them....I told you I'd post them all, as long as there's no sensitive info within. Although one commenter said I need to watch what I post. They must not have seen any parts where I talk about NOT posting that type of stuff. It was in regards to the Million Dollars that Spangdahlem is in the running for. Not sure if anyone else realizes, but you can hear all about that stuff on the radio EVERY day! I didn't say anything that they haven't. And since we're on the subject...that morning DJ....Grrrrrrrr baby!

Spangdahlem Million Dollars
By now you all have heard of the Million Dollars that Spangdahlem AB could get for the best Air Force base. It's between us and Travis AFB. I've seen some of the ideas and some of them are pretty good, but I have some of my own that I'd like to share with you in a moment. Here's just a small portion of the list:
A kid's zone type play place or area - This should be the # one idea, because it would affect so many,
A lap pool - I would love it here, but it would just cost to much.
A portable enclosure for the track - How feasible is this? And how portable would that be? It'd be huge!
A base newspaper - What about the electronic one that's going around? The paper one would be a waste.
Remember, that's just a portion. Someone feel free to post or send the whole list.
Here is one of my ideas: How about a damn car wash that's from this century? Have you tried this one on base? It's horrendous! So you purchase your car wash inside, no biggie. Then you drive up to the car wash door, get out and insert you card, wait for the doors to open, drive in and then......wait for it........get out of the car, go back outside and press start on the fucking panel! Now you're standing OUTSIDE while your car is getting washed. Now please tell me if I'm an idiot and I did it completely wrong. I think I would be OK with that just so I can wash my car the correct way. But if I did it right then this is the stupidest car wash in the history of car washes! At least a do it yourself one would be nice.
This one is kind of an add on to an existing idea. The original is "More running/jogging paths". Great idea, but let's add something. How about "Lights"? I know that seems like a small thing, but this story might put things into perspective: ------One early morning when all the snow on the ground had pretty much up and disappeared, I decided to go for a little run. A 5K to be exact. Now if some of you haven't ran the 5K route on base it takes you from the front of the gym, down to the main circle, back past the CDC and around the end of the flight line then back with sidewalks all the way. Once you get past the CDC and round one more corner and building, things start to get a little eerie. If the moon is out or the sky is just starting to brighten with a small glint of light, then it's not bad, but if there is no moon or there are clouds in the sky and it's way early, then it's like running down a hallway with the lights turned off. Now this sidewalk back there isn't a sidewalk to brag about either, but that might not be bad if you're soon to take a trip to the lovely terrain of Afghanistan. You hit a upturned piece of concrete or small rut and there goes your ankle. You'd think that with all of these imperfections in the sidewalk that there'd be more puddles, but I think I found the sole puddle that drenched my right foot only. How the hell was it just one foot? So I was running, at a snails pace mind you, because you can't see shit! I almost ran into three other runners because none of us saw one another until the last 10 feet, then had to make evasive maneuvers to avoid smashing faces, or whatever. Also, do you realize how many frogs come out in the damp darkness? Well, there's three less now. And do you know what sounds an unsuspecting frog makes when it's getting smashed by a wayward shoe? It's so bone chilling that I'm trying to forget. Luckily, this story only encompasses three nearly fatal crashes, one oddly soaked foot, three innocent lives and some of my sanity. A lighted path could have prevented this entire escapade. This story is absolutely true and I am not making this up......except for the frogs, but I really needed it for more emphasis. It shows you what could happen! We can fix this if we want it bad enough. Let's band together and get this done!
Thank you.

Job performance
Picture this; you just ended a hard day of work feeling somewhat frazzled with the thought of your previous eight to twelve hours. You're trying to put the day behind you, but can't help to think that you did not accomplish a single thing. Not that you didn't do anything. You were't sitting on the computer wasting your's and the Air Force's time with Facebook or watching Youtube videos. No, you were being productive, but damnit, what the hell did you accomplish today!! Anyone have a day like this?
And since we're on the subject; why did the DOD including all military branches decide to let all of these social networking sites available on government computers? Are you really trying to tell me that this is going to RAISE productivity. Oh come on! Productivity took a nose dive when this happened and don't give me this crap about it keeping people connected and now important information is easier to get. How many desk jockeys (that didn't really do anything anyway) are now even more mindless zombies laughing at that damn piano playing cat! And the non-desk jockeys that weren't even smart enough to get a computer job are laughing at that same damn cat! At least all these morons have something in common now. Don't worry everyone, it's not like we're in the middle of a war or anything.

Hmmmmm
OK, another thing I won't post is duplicate comments. It's not so much for me to just delete them, so keep copying and pasting I guess.
This comment was left earlier about me complaining so much: "If you want to live like you are in america then move back". There was more to it, but this one part really irritated me.
Does anyone else want a crack at this one? It's just too easy! OK, gimme a second....sigh.... Let me ask a question first. How would I accomplish this? Even if I was given the opportunity right now, I would decline. I like it here and have way too much to do and explore. I can bitch about something without going to extremes, right? But back to the comment..... did this person really just say that? The DEROS is like an impermeable fortress. You cannot change this in any way shape or form, minus accidents, deaths,disease, articles, imprisonment, etc.. So there are a couple of things, but King Arthur had an easier time getting the sword out of the stone then you could get back to the states before your DEROS!
Small clarification. I am not just bitching about Spangdahlem AB. I am bitching about a lot of stuff even though whole lot will come from there, but it's not inclusive.
