If you want to find out how a typical simple male can be focused and determined, you only need to test it out with a booty call. Nine times out of ten he’ll go out of his way to get busy. Expect such behaviour at the start of a “relationship.” Even people in high places are not exempted from such primordial urges, such as what happened to an Air Guard commander who used his F-16 plane for a booty call.
Col. Thomas “TJ” Jackman was considered a “ladies man” by most of his ex-Guard members, so much so, that his callsign was “Snatch.” He also had a reputation for being a womanizer despite leading a married life. Hence, Jackman simply could not resist the “call of duty” after apparently scheduling a romantic rendezvous with a female Army colonel in the Pentagon.
Problem is, Jackman was in Vermont, being part of the Vermont Air National Guard. That did not matter. Jackman, a.k.a. Snatch, well, snatched an F-16 fighter plane and flew to Washington D.C. despite having an already scheduled conference at Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington. It seems the commander preferred a uniformed booty call to military protocol.
For this, Jackman was forced to resign shortly after his actions. His superiors also found out what he did and about the alleged affair, something that the ex-commander himself denied. The worst part is that each operational flight of an F-16 actually costs anywhere from $7,000 to $24,000, meaning a private flight would have been cheaper and could have saved taxpayer’s money.
Despite his being forced out of the position, Jackman’s plane named “The Lethal Lady,” still remains on display in at the state’s South Burlington base. They really should have demoted him to from colonel to major, as in Major brain fart.
