[edit] Air National Guard page talk

This was moved from the Oregon Air National Guard page when that page was integrated here.

[edit] insulting?

The Oregon Air National Guard can not keep jets in the air without the coordinated teamwork of its various units. This line from the intro of the article sounds like an insulting comment. It shouls be removed r reinstated in a better light. --soUmyaSch 06:21, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, it is true that they cannot keep jets in the air without their people (Ground Crews) on the ground to keep them running 24/7. ViriiK 06:42, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Its true for all airforce/airlines. But the same info can be stated in a better way. Keeping it as the first line appears as if it is demeaning. The intro could be changed to saying OANG operates in ... to provide ... services, and then this line could be added as It consists of various units which work in unison to allow OANG to provide its services. --soUmyaSch 07:01, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Difference between 123rd / 142nd to 123d 142d

If you have a problem please take it up with the Oregon Air National Guard as they use the 142nd and 123rd as the official label for these units. http://www.orport.ang.af.mil/units.html—Preceding unsigned comment added by ViriiK (talk • contribs) 11:17, July 25, 2006

[edit] Expansion request

The lead paragraph needs to summarize what the OANG is. Before details of the various divisions, some background would be helpful: its history, significance, deployments etc. --Jgilhousen 04:09, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Context?

What's a PAI? (as noted in the section on the 114th) Katr67 21:15, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oregon National Guard birthdate

The actual birthday of the Oregon Guard is a little elusive. I have been in this organization for several years and feel we are failing to pass on our heritage to our new soldiers. Warren Anney is our unofficial National Guard Historian, according to The Adjutant General, and has been for over 10 years. He has promised to get on here and post more info sometime. I will not post his contact info here, however if you contact me I will help where I can.

He has stated that if we were to celebrate the birthday of the Oregon National Guard, it would be 2 May, 1843. Not July 5, 1843 as is stated on the Oregon Web page. 22 August 2007 (UTC) -2LT Sean Younk- Officer Recruiting (503) 577-9307

In order to add that (or any) information to Wikipedia, we would need to see it changed on the Oregon Guard's site first, as Wikipedia is a referenced source and cannot (though many pages have it) contain Original Research. This is an easy fix; when the main site is changed, we can add information here and reference it to the Oregon Guard website.

LT, feel free to leave me a note on this and I'll see about working this type of stuff and fixing up references and stuff. Also, I recommend registering on Wiki - it's free and easy and does not involve personal information or spam email - and working on basic editing. It's a great deal of fun sometimes, but also an awesome project in general. Wikipedia and Google are truly the two best sources of information for all things. Period. Welcome aboard!!!
