  1. Past hour
  2. So you go there a lot?
  3. New rule to add to the motherhood: Egressers, defenders, and football players in the tunnel have the right of way.
  4. Today
  5. Right of way rules apply here. When players come out or in, it's their tunnel. Anyone in the way, either a cheerleader or banner, may get mowed over.
  6. 2 Sent from my iPad using Baseops Network mobile app
  7. It's late, I'm drunk. IAW the he man woman haters club handbook At 14:15 reminds me of taking my first wife 4 wheeling on the Eglin reservation back in the 80s. Good times Also at 21:36 there's a door in my barn just like that
  8. An interesting wrinkle here is that the B-21 is already flying.. with two pilots. So I don’t know at what point they’re planning to transition to single pilot ops or how global strike plans to train up some WSO monitors who could theoretically AR or land in a pinch. Just an all around wildly bad idea. Root cause here is they have no clue what to do with WSOs as airframes that have them gradually go away, while we simultaneously hemorrhage pilots. Get stoned, kill two birds I guess.
  9. On that being said "arg"...I declare DIBs Before "Biff_T"!
  10. I want to see her wearing those chaps with no jeans.
  11. Worked for some gunship guys in Viet Nam. In one case the entire crew bailed out. I think the call sign was Spectre 22
  12. Cross over with the college football thread. Trying to instigate with a college kid
  13. Yesterday
  14. 1. DHS spending $220M of taxpayer money for an ad campaign is bullshit. 2. Steering said funds to your organization is like ADM Burke steering contracts to his future employer. 3. I look forward to the investigation. https://www.propublica.org/article/kristi-noem-dhs-ad-campaign-strategy-group
  15. A chute is the illusion of a fighting chance. Just like when we carried 6 chutes in the back.
  16. Weed stench, incessant beggering, homeless that don't want help and just want to be assholes, $18 beers.* But hey, there's a Packers bar there with Pliny on tap. * I know, I probably described every mega city.
  17. Glad to see my airline/union assisting UPS/IPA in their time of mourning and assist bringing Captain Diamond home to rest.
  18. Not great if you live there (I have family there)…crime, cleanliness, safety. I’m sure it appears “great” if you’re in the right spots. Kind of like when we visited friends in South America and they said, “oh it’s great, totally safe and clean”…as we drove by 3rd world slums and into the affluent area that had security rivaling embassy compounds in Afghanistan. Yep, THEIR area was great, but everywhere else was not by a long shot.
  19. I was in SF a couple weeks ago and it was great.
  20. If it’s stable enough for you to climb down from the flight deck and walk to the door, it’s stable enough to land/ditch. If you can’t walk to the door, you’re proper fcuked whether you have a chute or not.
  21. Sadly, none of this surprises me. The more I learn, the more jaded I get toward our military/political leadership and what kept us in the never ending quagmires since 9/11. This is proof that no one is immune to the government trying to fuck you and make your life a living hell if you piss off the wrong person. It also puts a spotlight on the hypocrisy around the different spanks for different ranks. Never mind the unwillingness of people to do the right thing so as not to upset their careers. Here's hoping the current administration will fix this situation. Funny sidenote on the point they make about being "frozen" in the rank your retired/left the service. Our OG received a call from a FDX guy about a squadron mate who had the audacity to take MLOA during peak. The dude introduced himself as Maj Gen XXX and to our OG's credit, he made a point to let him know that his retired rank didn't mean shit, then prompted told him to go fuck himself, the MLOA was legit.
  22. To whom it may concern. Will the person at the O-club Friday night who drew dick pics in our flight caps please provide new hats. Sincerely, Col. Harry Balzac & Col. Hugh P. Ness
  23. I’ve heard lots of credible source negatives about Crenshaw for several years. Unfortunate, I had high hopes at the beginning.
  24. It’s a code instructors get that just identify them as having gone through an instructor upgrade course.
  25. Soooo…..what’s a k-code? 😅
  26. Yeah I don’t put on Capt until 27 so I’ll have enough time to get my K-code
  27. I started IPUG right before I went on a long tdy when I found out I made it. Got back from said tdy and was promptly removed from IPUG. I wish I could have gotten it just for the K code but I guess the DO didn't want to waste his time with me and my CC just backed up the the DO and said it was his decision. Looks good when you go up for Major but you should have enough time to get your K code when you eventually get to your new MWS if you're a Lt right now or even a young Captain.
  28. Same. Was saddened to hear that Crenshaw is in that bucket from their perspective. I was hoping he'd be one of the good guys. Perhaps he is, but the comment Ryan mentions about Crenshaw's "boys down at 6" was disheartening.
