You, sir, may be retarded. Recommend getting yourself tested. (And I use the term sir very loosely)

Pitch perfect was very surprisingly not awful. If you are drug kicking and screaming to a chick flick, aim for that one. Great hook in the first 2 minutes and not just 2 hours of glee.

You've got to keep up old man. It was very well done with several good subtleties, especially towards the end. One of the better movies I've seen this summer.

Electronic flight bags could boost operational safety, effectiveness
I've had an unprotected iPad survive a 7 and 5 year old and wife for almost a year and still going strong ... with an otter box it should be nearly indestructible. /edut for spellin

High year tenure changes for enlisted...
Yup, but they don't pay him 24/7/365. They don't pay bah, bas, fsp, hdp, idp, tricare, sgli, retirement, disability, death gratuity, per diem, etc. Contractors can make sense and can save money when they don't have to be 'expeditionary' (edited for GD autocorrect)

Information on PCS/moves/moving (DITY, TMO, DLA, storage)
And unless something has changed, you don't have to use that move until you want to. So if you're sticking around your last base ... That move can be used anytime in the future.

How's it compare to a 3" 1911 (other than holding fewer rounds)? Looks to be about 4" barrel?

Pilot watches
Be advised that the 'tactical' all black model turns into the shiny silver around the edges model after about 2 years of rough use. Not a bad thing, but the finish comes off eventually.

Pilot watches
I've got a Suunto Core (all black) that has the negative face. It's been a good watch for the last 2.5 years and has held up well despite the fact that I beat the shit out of watches. Friends with the normal light face/dark numeral versions have also had positive things to say. Mine doesn't keep great time and looses about 6-9 seconds per week. Also, the "automatic" setting of the alti-baro mode is tough on the battery and the compass just eats the battery up. On the plus side, the battery is easy to change and it uses a commonly available CR2032. Overall I'd recommend the CORE series. Suunto has other series available as well. I've been impressed with their dive computers, but don't have any firsthand experience with other wristwatch series. I also would NOT pay full retail for a Suunto as they are a bit marked up in my opinion. I got my CORE all-black, back when it was the newest greatest thing in the CORE series, new in box on eBay for less than $200. YMMV. Cheers!

Fighter Aircrew Conditioning Test (FACT) info
There is not. Because there IS a reason doesn't make it a good reason. Has the air force taught you nothing? Mindless wastes of time and resources are the hardest AF policies to kill.

False. You must be in 2-way radio contact but you don't have to accept shit. Not saying it's a good idea ... but you don't have to play once they've replied by callsign.
