Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.

Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

Retired US Air Force general arrested for child sex crimes
A retired Air Force General in Texas has been arrested on charges related to child sexual abuse offenses, according to official documents.
Judicial records from Hopkins County indicate that retired Brigadier General Mike Houston McClendon was taken into custody and placed in Hopkins County Jail on Saturday, May 11.
He was charged with continuous sexual abuse of a minor under 14 years of age.
Following his arrest, he was released from custody.
Details from McClendon’s biography on the USAF’s official website reveal that he graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1975.
His military career began with piloting the A-7D fighter aircraft under the Tactical Air Command. He was also part of the team that introduced the A-10 aircraft to the US Air Forces in Europe.
“General McClendon attended the Air Force’s Experimental Test Pilot School at Edwards AFB, California, where he later served as the Air Force chief A-10 test pilot and Director of Flight Test,” the biography read. “His career also included roles such as Deputy Program Manager for a highly classified special program, along with successive positions in Air Force research and development. His roles in the F-22 System Program Office, the Air Force Materiel Command Headquarters Directorate of Operations, Air Force Research Laboratory, and the now-defunct AFC2ISR Center have marked a distinguished career.”
McClendon was a senior pilot with over 10,000 flying hours across more than 35 different types of aircraft, including helicopters, fighters, and transports.
Following his Air Force career, McClendon became an airline pilot and eventually captained International flights.
According to a report from CBS19, McClendon retired from the military in 2009.
