matthewcline 0 #26 January 10, 2009 I would have to look around the office Monday, unless you want to google it and see if thee is a note in wikepedia or something. I thought it was still "Armed" when I was active (Retired Oct 31 2007) , but found all the headers and paperwork here when I started this job (March 2008) to say "American". I am guessing it was after 2001/2002 when we, as a country, happened to need access to countries through other countries who are not to fond of the idea of us infedels being there and "armed".

matthewcline 0 #27 January 10, 2009 The PSA are provided to the AFRTS (RTPO). The RTPO doesn't use us for the PSA's or for the Locally produced AFN spots. With the exception of the "JoB Spots" (pride in service, mos, units etc) all the "talent" is "proffesional" actors. The radio spots is where some of the big names have worked. In TV we have a few former stars working in the 08 and 09 packages. Since we are not affected by strikes we some times see "almost big names" calling us looking for work suring strikes. The first part of 08 is just now hitting the air waves. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerryBaumchen 1,468 #28 January 11, 2009 Hi onlyski, My all-time favorite AFN moment; early 60's, stationed in France, USAF. It was just at 8:00 in the evening and the announcer says: For you Army guys it's 20:00 hours. For you Navy guys it's 8 bells. For you Air Force guys it's 8:00 PM. For you Marine Corps guys the little hand is straight up & the big hand is on the eight. Flame suit on, JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flame suit on, JerryBaumchen The only times we care about are reville, colors, chow, and taps.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
