As the words underneath the forum title says............

"Squad chatter, recruitment & mission planning".

There have been 132 posts, and a total of how many views I do not know.

If you go back to the beginning [set Display Settings for threads to Beginning] you'll see how many folks have met here; and moved on into their own forums.

It currently serves its purpose for the USAAC well.

Hope this helps.

If you are puzzled about the use of the term "Mess", ......

Squadron Mess is appropriate military usage

~S~ P&H & E&D,

Ed has the right idea about it's usage, but it is a place for any squad to meet and post. It was used by people who do not fly CFS1, 2 or 3. I guess it is kind of a bulletin board.

The Mess Hall usually was the largest area to meet in and hold briefings.

The name is never going to be changed.

The AAC only comes here because of smilo. This is his Elba.

~S~ Yall,

smilo wants to change it to "FREE BEER," but some of would never come out.
