"Brief me! I'm in Charge!"
Just about everyone in the squadron used this one in the late 80's.

"Being a Law Man isn't something you do for a living - It's something you live to do!"
-Unk SP MSgt who made a comedy tape which circulated the 435th SPS circa 1988.

"Wake up! it's Squadron Beautification Day!"
What everyone who lived in the dorm would hear on Saturday morning after your last mid just after lying your head on your pillow in the late 80's.

"They're in the woods, Doc!"
Anyone on B flight, circa '77-'78. Intruder exercises conducted by TSgt Ordon O. "Doc" Tummons invariably ended at the west part of base near the Atlantis hangar. It signaled that the "terrorists" had fled into the woods beyond the perimeter, thus ending the exercise.
- Lee Shumway

"Keep it between the lines and enter/exit through Papa 9 only."
"Have lunch at Bldg 131 today! Yum! mystery meat! I always enjoyed the box nasty #2."
- Dave Stapert

"Don't confuse your rank with my authority."
Quote used at main gate with U.S. Army officers who didn't like removing their ID card for examination by an "Air Force Airman".
- Stephen Kohler

"Respect my authoruhtigh!"
- Eric Cartman

"Don't worry kid. You can handle it."
- Officer Sam Reed who slept in his patrol vehicle while "training" the Rookie. On a mid shift Sam awoke to gunshots. The Rookie was mortally wounded and had never called in the traffic stop. The suspects sped away but Officer Reed never got a vehicle or suspect description. He frantically radioed for an ambulance. Dispatch asked for his location? Looking at his surroundings on the remote road all he could see were trees whipping in the wind. At that moment he realized he had no clue as to his location. Dispatch asked again for his location? All he could do was scream in agony. "Officer Sam Reed... He thought he was a good cop."

"I'm goin' in!"
- Deputy "Dumb Ass" who was subsequently blown away as he ran to the front porch without thinking, the element of surprise, or any cover. The suspect kicked open the screen door & fired his shotgun into our hero who was stopped dead in his tracks about five feet away. From the USAF Security Police Academy training film "Tombstone Courage".

"What part of 'No' don't you understand?"
- MSgt Douglas Greenwood (He always had to smile after he said it because it was too funny.)
