Well it's the 20th where I am. ברוך אתה ה' א‑לוהינו מלך העולם, אשר קדשנו במצותיו וצונו להדליק נר שלחנוכה.‏

I have a cousin there and she said text, email, and Facebook alerts were sent out to students about shots being fired on campus. It started outside of one of the dining halls and a police officer was shot dead. One suspect has been apprehended but another is at large. More gunshots are being reported near a drillfield near the center of the campus as another person has been pronounced dead. Supposedly it was just a routine traffic stop that started this.

He gets kicked of an American Airlines flight and turns it into a rant about the flight crew... https://simply-showbiz.com/blog/archives/14322 Apparently Mr Prima Donna was asked to turn off his phone and he did not comply...according to Baldwin's camp he simply took a little too long to turn off the phone and was subsequently kicked off the plane which led to him tweeting the following: "Flight attendant on American reamed me out 4 playing WORDS W FRIENDS while we sat at the gate, not moving." "Last flight w American. Where retired Catholic school gym teachers from the 1950's find jobs as flight attendants." The real story is a bit more revealing..."…

Thought I'd pass along a new book to the baseops.net masses, Two days of Rolling Thunder by Robert Deas. A fantastic read with a new twist on the "Thud pilot in Vietnam" theme. Like many of you, I've read several very good books on flying F-105s in Vietnam: When Thunder Rolled, Thud Ridge, Pack Six, and others. To be honest, when I first heard about Two days of Rolling Thunder I wasn't really all that enthusiastic about reading it -- after all, what could this book cover that hasn't all ready been done (and very well) by those other books? Well, I'll be frank -- this one knocked my socks off. What's different is that this is a "there I was" story of a different c…

I need help thinking of my retaliation against the guys in my class next week. I received the "tool" award this week during my fourth week at UPT. Basically, the class presented a case for me because of comments I made about the tuna fish I ate and talked about. When I referred to my "tuna" and the way it "smelled," you can just IMAGINE what that did for me. Yes I am a female. Yeah, never living that comment down. Even though I rocked my solo and there were other guys who did some really stupid things on their solos, I still get the "tool" award for my comment. Soooo- I have to carry around a big metal wrench with a chain on it all next week and they have to steal i…

Almost put this in the WTF thread, but I think it deserves its own. Prophetic words from the Liberal Anti-War Law Professor and an enlightening view of his opinion of U.S. service members..."I think it is shameful that it is perceived as legitimate to solicit in an academic institution for support for men and women who have gone overseas to kill other human beings." https://abovethelaw.com/2011/11/law-professor-objects-to-solicitations-to-help-our-troops-in-afghanistan/

Surprised no one else posted this gem..!

Yeah I know its not airplanes, politics, or bashing the Air Force, but do me a favor and watch it anyway. This a great reminder of why America is such a great country. For all our financial troubles, our political disagreements, and other conflicts that seem to divide us more and more...when it really counts, Americans take care of each other. We are FAR from perfect, but we still are a great country.

All, Was wondering if there were any intel Os here that I could ask some questions. Would prefer to PM. I have a general question, though. Does anyone know what/where the AF version of the Navy JP 2-0 CLICK ME is? I would like to read it before my interview to brush up on some AF lingo etc. Thanks.

Interesting read on why SSgt Robert Guiterrez deserves the Medal of Honor: https://www.defensemedianetwork.com/stories/why-staff-sgt-robert-gutierrez-should-receive-the-medal-of-honor/

I usually read, listen and learn on this board but I wanted to post in this case. I just heard that we lost a Fighter Pilot last night, Johnny Alison passed away at the age of 99. I was lucky enough to have talked to him a number of times when I worked for the Air Force Assoc. Listened to him speak at last September's convention and I was always impressed by his memory and sharp as a tack demeanor. He was a pilot, and I mean that in the big sense of the word. One of those guys who understood flying and seemed to be able to just crawl in a cockpit and fly just about anything with wings ... and do it well. He was one of those guys that walked into a room and you just kne…

Looking for a little n00b help from those who have the interweb skillz.... Yesterday I found out that I was the victim of debit card fraud after noticing some unauthorized charges in my checking account. After calling the merchant where the fraud was generated, I was able to convince him to give me the IP address from the fraud source: 173.234.216.236. Other than having it included in a police report, what else can this be used for? -9-

This guy is a hero...no doubt so not taking anything away from him. I've just never seen the MOH worn without the neck ribbon, anyone have any idea why his is displayed this way?

My squadron just moved to a new building with no provisions for a bar. Currently, we might have enough room to construct a bar table with a couple of taps, but a room dedicated to a squadron bar would have to wait until we went to J's. Since I'm starting with a blank canvas, I'd like to hear what you guys have seen in your squadron bars.
