5/31/2013 4:42:14 PM ET @SRNCO - True OCPs are the uniforms we wear when we deploy to Afghanistan but they are also what we wear when we go out to do field training almost daily because they are much more functional than ABUs. They read U.S. AIR FORCE across the chest the exactly same way ABUs read and I guarantee you the sole purpose these Battlefield Airmen were there was to assist the citizens of Moore in any and every way possible. I hope you have contributed to their welfare the same way.

5/30/2013 7:24:51 PM ET OCP also known as Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern. Why would wear it stateside for a humanitarian effort They must have been trying to highlight their Squadron 146 more than the devastation they were there to bring help too. Hopefully the people who's lives were devastated get the attention and thus the help they need to rebuild their lives.

SNCO, Hi
5/29/2013 10:34:35 AM ET I'm pretty sure it was an EF5 tornado and not an earthquake...
