Squadron Bar

from our RAF brothers, but still a face palm for me https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/female-raf-recruits-win-100000-2848546

Does anyone out there pay for the long term care insurance (nursing home, in-home care, etc.) that is offered to us through the AF? Do you know of anyone who has ever benefitted from it? Thanks

Did a quick search and haven't seen this posted here. If so, delete thread and I'll shack myself. This was linked on another board of mine. Some pretty cool pics of present-day Ho Chi Minh trail. The locals obviously haven't taken heed to the warnings in their UXO CBTs. https://www.laosgpsmap.com/ho-chi-minh-trail-laos/

My squadron gives tail flashes to departing members and I've inherited the job of building these. The inherited process is slow, expensive, and results in a shitty product. I want to improve this. I know there are one-stop-shop companies that do tail flashes but they all work in plastic or wood. At one point ours were built using real aircraft sheet metal from the maintenance shops. Those days are long gone, but I have still been restricted to using metal for the tails. Does anyone have experience with companies that make metal tail flashes? Is there a contact for salvage or Boneyard employees who could supply me with aircraft sheet metal? Any and all advice is …

Anyone tried checking a hard-sided golf clubs case as luggage when travelling TDY on commercial flight? Going to Hawaii and am curious.

Does anyone know if the military reimburses you for the cost of weight stations? The only place open this weekend on the approved list is $10.50 per weight. It's a little ridiculous.

This is a shameless plug for a team I am a part of called US Military Endurance sports. I fly with a lot of guys who I later find out are sports enthusiasts and have never heard of our group. One of the immediate benefits of being part of the team are the discounts such as: -52.5% off Rudy Project -50% off Honey Stinger -40% of Schwalbe tubes and tires -50% off Orange Seal (better than Stans) -50% off Black Diamond (winter is coming!) -20% off Scott bikes Im just highlighting the title sponsors but we have over 30 that offer amazing deals to members. Also there are focus events around the country the team pays for such as the H…

Will be selling the house located in the Northwest portion of Fort Worth in about 6 months and looking a good realtor. Any thoughts or recommendations on selling a house? Thanks.

I know it's still a few days away, but I want to wish everyone a very happy Christmas, and all the best in 2019! Cheers! M2

For you Contracting experts: 1. What's the max you can put on a GPC? It was $2500, but I heard it went up to $5000. True? 2. If the AF wants to go sole-source on a contract without competing it, what's the most they can spend? I"m assuming it's the same as the GPC card limit ($2500 or $5000).

What can we do with CAE Simulator time for our hours? How does it translate for the airlines?

A few random and/or cool things happened this week that I couldn't find where to post appropriately, so my intent on this thread is for those items that aren't "WTF," as that, to me, has a negative to shocking connotation and the items here are not that. It would be great if they were all uplifting, but one of mine is not going to be, unfortunately. Mods, apologies if these have places to be sorted and I missed it. 1. NASA flew a freakin' helicopter on Mars twice over the last week. 2. NASA via SpaceX flew a previously-owned rocket and ship to the ISS taking a four-man crew including the wife of the commander of the first SpaceX launch. 3. An…

I knew it was coming but it doesn't make it any easier and I don't have any words. Rest easy, no more pain. Thanks for teaching me a love of flying and service to our nation. 257 combat missions in Vietnam totaling 754 combat hours. 5 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 23 Air Medals, first pilot to achieve 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 hours in the F-4.

and I'm her crew chief. She does most of the weed eating/mowing around our house. The thing is I have to string the weed eater, mix the fuel, crank it up, tune it up, then hand it to her so she can start weed eating. I should give her a silk scarf to wear.

When I went through UPT 100 years ago there was a T-38 wing mounted to the wall int he O-Club as a table. Is it still there? Anyone mind sending me a few pictures if it is? Trying to upgrade my mancave/hangar.

Looked at 36-3003 and didn’t find a reference supporting what Finance told me so I’ll ask the forum Can you take leave on an order less than 30 days? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

hello, im in AFE trying to be a fighter pilot for my unit, and im looking to get the pilots upstairs some alcohol for the Hollidays. I thought it would be a good way of getting my name out there more to the pilots I haven't met yet and just to be a team player. this question is more towards fighter pilots, but if you drink a lot and know the goodies, what kind of drinks, ie. whiskey, vodka, Jeremiah weed, etc. was the best you've had? I want to buy something that they would enjoy, but not spend too much mula. I appreciate your guys' help. happy Hollidays!

Anyone have contact info (or website) for the aviation art concession in the BX at Mildenhall. The last time I was there they had some awesome paintings, but IIRC were pretty spendy. I need something for my new den. Humps

Was wasting some time on Ebay and found some old SAC cufflinks, thought one of the older guys might be interested. P.S I am in no way affiliated with this sale, just thought somebody would would like 'em. https://cgi.ebay.com/VTG-14-KT-Gold-Olay-Am...id=p3286.c0.m14

How common is it for squadrons to have Friday patches? Is this a thing of the past, or is the "tradition" carried on still today? Our sq currently does not have anything of the sort, but I'd like to get something started. I know it's not supposed to be "official", so how does one go about "unofficially" getting the ball rolling on such a visible issue? Anyone ever faced the same issues? Does your sq have a friday patch? If so, is it recognized by leadership? Do you wear it out of the sq, off base, etc.? Many thanks!

Anyone got a good place to buy cheap custom stickers? I am going through T-6 PIT and want to buy like 100 or so stickers with the ADI attitude fail image on them. I know someone made it a class patch back in '04 but I want to just make a small say 3" by 3" sticker with the image so i can hand it out to studs when I think their attitude sucks. thanks bb

OK, don't over-analyze this video, just watch it and smile...

Thought I would share this. I found it the other day and had to listen more than once. Let the great general school you on our current situation.

Im looking for the saying that fighter pilots use when someone says the word head. Goes something like this: head who said head. ill take some of that. She gave me head and then we f*cked...

If this is half as good as "Band of Brothers", it should be kick ass. https://www.pacificfans.com/trailer.mov I always kind of hoped they would do an aviation type mini-series based on "The Wild Blue" or something like that, but shedding some light on the campaign in the pacific will be cool.
