Stormin's Cellar
Добавлен 16 окт 2021
Welcome to my channel.
For those who don't know me, I'm Col (Ret) Norman "Stormin'" Potter. My 35-year service in the United States Air Force career took me from the ranks of Aiman Basic to Colonel. I was a commander three times, and my staff tours included the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Office of the Secretary of Defense. I served in Operations Desert Storm, Southern Watch, Provide Comfort, Deny Flight, and Deliberate Force. I logged over 5,000 operational hours in the F-105G, F-4D, E-3B/C, NE-3A, EC-130E, E-8C, and E-2C. I had assignments in Tactical Air Command, Air Combat Command, NATO, Pacific Air Forces, US Air Forces Europe, and Air Education and Training Command. My last assignment was on the faculty of the Air War College teaching Global Security and Strategic Leadership. I retired from the USAF in 2010 and served as a contractor for four years.

US Army Drawing Down or Destroyed? | Colonel (Ret) Norm Potter Analyzes
This is what I remember from my bootcamp I served 84-88 in the Marines, Infantry and MEUSOC so yes this is what bootcamp is like atleast in my era it was. This still gives me PTSD.
Yes indeed that’s our training corp is tougher than your branch. Now we build new barracks with inside training when it rains, so troops won’t get slip & fall injuries. Not like before that Lackland AFB took over Medina AFB Base and majority of Kelly field runway. Also if you remember (Big Willy ) yes Wilford Hall US Medical center ? It just got knocked down two months ago. If you ever visit Military City, you would see it differently. Also Brooks AFB is closed down, thanks to Bill Clinton for signing tha brac sheets to shut down four military bases in San Antonio Texas. Brooks AFB East Kelly AFB Kelly field Camp Stanley Medina AFB Which now we only got Randolph AFB FT. Sam base Camp Bullis Lackland AFB Martin Helo pad which next to Randolph AFB. So if you remember why San Antonio was known as Military City’ to many base in one city. More than any other city in the USA 🇺🇸. Camp Pendleton have not changed a lot at all. Only minor details on old building barracks and mild upgrades on public chow hall. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thank you, very well said.
Thank you sir for your service!🙏🇺🇲
Back in 79 i used to work for DOD School warehouse, it was across the street from gate 3 and we lived down the street from there
My dad worked on Kadena for 6100LSS, an apparition of an old Japanese fighter pilot walked through the shop. Across the street from his shop were some old WW2 Japanese airplane hangers.
I was living on kadena when that happened
s g t hartman was in the military
Just remember, anything is possible, including hit the Powerball/Mega Million Jackpot, lol.......
Unbelievably well done ✅
The Air Force?? There are fraternities that are rougher on their pledges than the AF is in their basic.
I lived in kadena airbase (Sebille manor) and the house I lived in was haunted !! I was a little kid and experienced a lot of paranormal incidents. I also would go hiking all alone with a backpack, peanut butter & jelly sandwich, and a bb gun in the boonies and I swear there's souls lingering around.
Aviation movies may not seem very realistic. I know it’s all choreographed and the pilots did a great job. They’re very professional. I simply look at them as entertainment. Yes, you might spot some mistakes here and there, but still it’s all popcorn fun. 🍿 I personally love this movie. It’s a masterpiece. Kudos to director Chris Nolan.
I've applied for the Royal Navy on ship admin roll and had to do a fitness test as part the application process, so its likely the same with the RAF that the reality of the exercise if you dont have the common sense to expect it when applying is already given in advance to this start process. luckily i also applied to a civilian roll as well that i got instead as i did not have the common sense to think even admin staff would need to keep up on the bleep test 😂
Su 57 has been spotted over the front line in Ukraine when it lost control of a S-70 drone and it shoot it down. They were flying at more than 5000 meters because they had contrails. If it had the RCS of an F18 it would be dead from a Patriot missile long before even reaching the front line. Flying so high in a normal plane is suicide, so that to me shows that stealth works on the Su 57 and the S-70 for that matter. Many videos of russian bombing behind the front lines are taken by S-70 drone. The drone the Su 57 shot down crashed on ukrainian controlled territory, kinda deep in the territory too.
я тоже думаю что система его бы приду придила о ракете 8;00
I saw a documentary on PBS about the Spanish Flu and how it wiped out thousands of soldiers, children and young adults. My friend's ancestor lost all three of his young children, as did the families on his street.
1 off the best films they made 💯💯💯💯 my fav off all time respect 👌✌️ x
Battle of Britain footage was movie making at its finest. The movie was one of the best I have seen.
I don't like drill sgts they hate special ed kid s
😡😡😡😡😡😡😤🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 didn't even watch the full movie stupid for so many reasons
What we can expect from american reporter 😅
`First, I never saw or had a DI as nice as in the movie; they were brutally hard-assed and would knock you on your ass right up to graduation. Second, we were given a specific number of rounds for qualifying and had to account for the brass after each firing session. The bolts were changed before and after the rifle range so nobody could fire from the weapon. I cannot recall seeing any donuts in the mess hall at PI; besides, we were hustled into the mess hall and hustled out.
When did you serve? The portrayal of the DI is from R Lee Ermey’s experiences.
There was a time we were proud of American military Strong men and women ready to serve with pride our best ally. Now i fear for America's future concerns me greatly

Colonel, is it worth it to join todays military with all this nonsense? Im in my 30s and want a change in life but cant stand this leftist nonsense infecting the military from top to bottom
U need to be a minority or a woman
Believing Indians, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One Can NOT compare the Air Force boot camp to the Marines Boot camp ! Apples and Oranges...
U seen like a good man. But say that Felon rcs is like a clean f18, is not rigth. Rcs simulatios, just by disinge are below a meter, adding the stealth coat and radio absorbing materials the felon got a decent stealth capability of 0.014 Not as good F22 and F35, but still give the advantage over any 4g figther. And thats not even the scariest part off the felon, but it new gen weapon and long range detection
Hey Col. prayers that you are well. If your absence is due to minimal growth with your channel please know that there are some viewers like me who enjoy your content and commentary band agree with you on the lack of leadership and poor policy decisions happening in our country and see no easy end in sight. A country divided can’t stand and our once great nation has not been this divided since the mid 1800’s . I miss your knowledgeable and witty observations. Take care and be well!
Please watch a British documentary on this. I’m afraid this rendition wasn’t very good.
this jet is not mig it is su 30 mki.
Lmao…chinese are 60 km inside indian territory…the IAF got a whooping in 2029 from pakistan air force their pilot was caught with a broken nose and mind you they crash their jets regularly lol feel good advertisement 😂
I enjoyed the original movie "the Man Who Never Was" filmed in the late 50's a little more than this one. Probably because I've watched it with family members who were in WWII at the time all this took place, and being a witness to their reactions to it and the conversations they had over it. As a boy, i never missed an opportunity to be a mouse in the corner while they were reliving and revisiting their time in the Army Air Corps.
I watched this movie for the first time as a 13 year old with my grandfather and great uncle, both of which flew as gunners (waist and tail) in the B-17G over Germany. During the portions of actual combat footage they would become very quiet and still. It was only years later that i realized they were reliving the war in their minds, much as Savage was living that last mission on the ground. Id watch that movie at least once a month with my grandfather. We'd talk about his experiences and what it was like. Years after he went to be with the Lord, I was privilaged to work on Sentimental Journey when she flew into NAS Whidbey Island for an airshow. I got to go inside and see where the positions were and I understood better the life lived by those great men and their shipmates. This movie continues even now in my 60's to be one of my most favorites along side "Harms Way".
HA! This gentleman here is a gold mine. Great attitude, subtle sarcasm, understands it is a movie meant for entertainment, a few pointers on the real-deal, and a-hoe we go. I' d say he ranks top commentator with Max Afterburner, except this man here has 3x the experience :)
do you have any idea how loud a b52 is at 100ft above ground level? good God that guy was crazy.
btw its a su 30 mki 2:03
Great video Sir Thank you for educating us❤
At age 63, I tried to lift myself into a B-17 as is done at 35:05 and watched another Bomber Camp attendee (age 43) try that. Can't be done! Maybe at age 19!
And at 34:20, the commentator refers to General Curtis LeMay (not "May" or Mahan"). LeMay never flew B-17s and was a major, later colonel when he served in the 8th AF.
Boeing used to build great airplanes, before the Wall Street guys got involved!
I've seen this movie many times, but never with commentary on why it is so often shown in officers' training on leadership. I always thought I would love to see the commentary by USAF and other instructors. Thank you!
Sounded like Michael Caine there for a minute!
I have a lot of movies in my favorites but I have to say that Officer and a Gentleman tops them all. I saw it when it was first released and I have lost track of the number of times I've watched it since. It's a movie that's hard to describe because it's got so many great features. 42 years hence and it still has a major impact on me...
