    To the OP - Don't be surprised if you do not get many replies from this thread. Many folks likely would consider this a potential for gathering data they don't really want shared. 

    To the usual suspects - go easy on this one.

    USAA Epic Collapse

    tbh, all of them suck, but GEICO has been pretty good to me.

    I just ran a quote on GEICO and it was $800 more than USAA for a 6-month policy. Then I ran a quote on Progressive and it's $600 less than USAA for a 6-month policy.

    USAA Epic Collapse

    in Squadron Bar

    Posted

    I'm probably going to punch from USAA, but torn between Navy Fed, Pen Fed, and Chase for banking and no clue where I'll go for insurance. I have accounts with all 3, and Chase seems like the most stable technology-wise. I find Navy Fed's website to be less advanced than a geocities website. Pen Fed's site seems to be "okay." I also wish I could have insurance and banking under one company, but USAA has gotten completely out of control for insurance rates. I have Progressive for our travel trailer insurance, and I'm neither amazed nor unhappy with their service/website.

     

    Any recommendations?

    USS Gettysburg downs Navy Hornet

    The meme's about this are epic, but only because the bros are okay. There are first hand accounts being shared for the 5 wet Hornet driver (the dude and his trunk monkey that punched) and the next dude in trail getting shot at too (didn't punch). 

    I think the hornets should start calling Magnum on the radio with destroyer bullseyes, just to f' with em. 

     

    Side note - preliminary reports indicate all personnel involved were complete with Cyber Awareness and SAPR training. Stand by for new anti-frat CBT.

    I’ll be honest, hadn’t realized it wasn’t being kept up. Functional until this.

    Tapatalk going forward then?

    Yeah, that's the move!

    Are you on the Tapatalk app or the super old outdated "Baseops Forum" app? Unfortunately, I wasn't able to keep up with the Baseops app and pulled it from the app store (or so I thought).

    Our OG/CCs dad was in the Triple Nickel during Vietnam.  He’s still with us although he’s not doing well and is confined to a wheel chair.  He’s a proud member of the 555th club.  His son, our OG/CC carries his dad’s green polka dotted scarf with him on every flight.  Has for his entire 33 year flying career.   
     

     Cheers!

    Those folks were/are amazing human beings. I remember at a reunion years ago one of the guys telling his Vietnam story of shooting down a MiG for the first time publicly.

    Was told by a couple of buddies that the 10 had a way bigger slot (or envelop if you prefer) for receivers so it was much easier to refuel behind than the 135.

    That checks. Also the jet exhaust was less turbulent for refueling in a viper. Also the boom was more powerful, so it was way easier to be stable. The Air Force has yet again gotten rid of the wrong aircraft. And replaced it with something with countless deficiencies (the -46).

    Help with GuardReserveJobs.com

    Friends - I'm trying to rebuild GuardReserveJobs.com

    If you would be willing to help me by setting up a "company" (your Guard or Reserve unit, or an actual contractor company) to post a job, I would appreciate it! DM me for details. 

    Terrible advertising

    in AFTO-781

    Posted

    Sorry folks. Google Ads had gone full self-aware Terminator on me again. I've gotten it back under control. As a part of the move to the new server I was able to cut some costs (although it'll be more hands-on upkeep). So, I think one small ad at the top of the main page should be enough to cover costs. And hopefully I've fully locked down the Google Ads monster so it doesn't go nuclear again.

    Server transfer/upgrade

    in AFTO-781

    Posted

    Those "few weeks" finally happened over the last 3 days.... Just in time for the 3 October deadline.

    The new server is running a way more current OS and associated software. 

    If you posted anything in the last ~24 hours-ish, and it went away, that's my bad... part of the upgrade thrash I just went through.

    Hey folks, over the next few weeks, I'll be migrating to a newer server. There may be some random down time and/or a few lost posts when I "flip the switch". I'll alert everybody with a sticky post and it'll be in the middle of the night sometime in the next few weeks.
