It’s more of a high G lifestyle.... you can’t control your height. but you can control your muscle mass and resting blood pressure. Lots of ways to reach the goal. nicotine, bacon, whiskey, and coffee works really really well. Not the best for longevity. But can get you a 7g resting tolerance. 9+ from there is easy.

A nickel

Find your state’s veterans affairs department (either where you are now or where you’re going when you retire). reach out to them now, make contacts, and explain your situation. the state folks are usually pretty good (and pretty aggressive) working your issues with the federal VA. our base guy was good at getting the ball rolling ... but missed a lot and it required a lot of work/coord after I retired. ive got florida contacts if you want them.

Re: fighters touching down short of the captains bars/glideslope ... most fighter vol 3’s say to touch down 500-1000’ down the runway. In a 38 you can’t do that unless you’re starting your flare well short in the underrun. Runway length is almost always a factor, especially with EPs. When a few hundred feet might matter, it’s good to have the practiced ability to land on brick 1.

Where in the constitution does it say the federal government has a duty to protect the citizenry from financial ruin?

I don’t know if that’s a battle worth picking ....

I am of the other camp on pistol calibers....bigger holes are bigger. a lot of the “kick” has to do with the weight of the pistol. A super lightweight “lady” gun (lady smith revolver in 357 for example) has a sharp angry kick. An all metal 1911 does not .... and as an added bonus can be used as a blunt implement if you’re out of ammo

Troof

Airlines will look at your FEF

Yup. Another swing at bat. Just be aware that being a faip May close some doors further down the road. For example, Fighter WIC is/was much more of a challenge to get into as a former faip.

Drink a lot of hemlock, do ya?

The DPE was the only worthwhile part of accessible aviation ... and I don’t know if he’s still giving check rides. Avoid crazy Carl.

Once they get 12-15 years old, paper thin, and the threads turn a bit purple ... they’re super comfortable.

Midget isn’t a race...it’s hilarious

Like midgets!

California is so stupid

People usually fuck themselves by not knowing that they are the target. never pass up the opportunity to shut the fuck up.

Masters degree helps with your airline apps as well .... just sayin

It was the summer of Hoss. And it was glorious

When it went back down to 60, I had 45 days i had to burn that year. that was a good summer.

I / we’ve been calling it Kung flu since it started. Keep up!

And eggs.

So porny. Very nice. Stay strong!

The $3 question is ... if AA declares bankruptcy are those guys still getting their 50 hrs?

Faips progress a bit faster than their peers... slightly. But not really important. Your issue highlights why Adair T38s worked fairly well. Cheap, plentiful, and UPT newbies that went there got faip-like hours with added tactical experience. As an added bonus the Tyndall Adair kids got to fly to/from/in the same airspace and see the b-course missions and debriefs (from the other side of the table). I think it freed up a lot of brain cells later since they weren’t having to learn motherhood (to from airspace, shot Val litany, etc) fresh in the b-course. also was the way upt next was headed (at least last I heard). UPT to IFF to Adair to bourse.
