Damn... That sucks...

I've officially seen everything on the internet.

To be fair, it's meant to not imply federal endorsement of ALS charities. However, we're still doing Feds Feed Families and it's not CFC time.

They probably will be on your orders. Just tell your outbound assignments guys that you want it that way. As far as staying off base, it's your call. You'll just get the on-base rate ($56/day for lodging) which will cover many of the short term leases you can find. Remember, you can claim lodging, utilities, cable (internet is included in this) and even rental furniture. If you want to make it easier, you can probably get a TLF on base, just call the lodging office. I don't know how that works with the extra cost though. It should be covered if you kids are on the orders. I'm no Finance_guy though.

We've been on EFMP for a while now for my daughter and it has done nothing to help us. In fact, all it does is create more paperwork for me.

I had a hard time at SERE until I remembered that when in doubt, just tell them, "Eat shit you commie, prick."

I'm waiting on a TDY voucher that is 72 pages long... literally.

For your last questions: I did ask a chick in the weather shop if the overcast layer was going to break up soon and she said, "Hold on." She set the phone down, went outside, came back and said, "I don't know. It's pretty cloudy." If there is more than 1/64" of snow, expect the town to come to a halt, buildings to catch fire, general looting and mad max anarchy.

I've found Bat Boy!

Pretty much the same as all metal...

I don't know... The B model is just as capable of making noise as a harrier is.

The Thunderbirds do aerial acrobatics now? Is this some kind of consolidation with Tops in Blue for a cost savings measure? Looks like she also rode along on a JSTARS mission. That's nearly as death defying!

I just emailed the FSDO guy that did it the first time. He responded quickly and is going to send me a temp certificate today, hopefully.

I already sent the guy I was working with at the FSDO an email with all the documents he looked at. Like I said, he didn't really understand the whole mil competency thing and it took quite a while to convince him that an E-8 is based on a B707. Pilot Certificate: CFII Certificate:

Yeah, that's all it lists on the separate card. I looked it up and it appears as if they screwed up and didn't put ASEL on the card.

I got my new CFII certificate in the mail the other day and on the back it says: XII: RATINGS FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR ..INSTRUMENT AIRPLANE It doesn't mention ASEL or anything on it. (I've only been an IP in the T-6) Did the FSDO screw this up? They did try to only give me instrument and commercial priviledges for multi-engine and private for single engine, so I don't have a high degree in confidence.

Mine was the gate guard at Moody AFB after looking at my military ID with the rank of 'cadet' and not knowing what the hell it meant. Pretty special memory...

Wait, I thought paperwork was the mission.

Soon to be replaced by "Do it... without sexual innuendo"

Good enough for me. Glad I stopped taking classes 4 years ago.

Too each their own. I didn't even want to attend my own graduation dinner...

This, plus the fact that I refuse to buy mess dress, is why I never attended a graduation of any of the classes I instructed over my 3.5 years. Why didn't he crush the club for having shitty food? If it was good enough that people would be willing to pay for it, this wouldn't be an issue.

The government only wasted $8M on that fiasco. At least we still have the boats in our possession. Better than most of the garbage we spend money on.
