Ok... i was avoiding this one, but I have to admit, as much as I love my "alma mater", it is one of the most heinous acronyms in the military, at least as far as the USAF goes.

Rapid
Engineer
Deployable

Heavy
Operational
Repair
Squadron
Engineers

Few acronyms can match that puppy. I always wondered. Did they pick the words to match the Acronym, or the Acronym to match the words?

My brother retired from the Air Force after 20 years.
I've heard him complain about RED HORSE many times.

Yeah? What he say about us? If he was base CE, im guessing the usual line of "having to fix the crap they screwed up because they were going too fast". Heard that one many times, and i think its exaggerated.
