Huh, I actually would have said the opposite. To me, it seemed like a pretty-well run operation at the time (2011). As long as you can plan it out ahead of time and the schedule makes a decent amount of sense, I'd say go for it. Buena suerte.

Where is it, man? I haven't heard a thing about this.

I did this trip three years ago. Took a bus down to Tarifa and then the ferry to Tangier, spent a couple nights, and then wound up flying up to Madrid. Very easy, I didn't have any issues at all. PM me if you need more info.

For those that watched the Vice documentary, remember this guy? The spokesman? Looks like he fell just short of his goal. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/isis-spokesperson-reported-as-dead-9682738.html

Thank God we're not losing anyone out of the Band.

I remember seeing at least one in Altus last year too.

Note: this advice also applies to after UPT as well.

I love their products personally, but IPOs are too wild a ride for me. I've always tended to agree with Buffett's suggestion that "it's almost a mathematical impossibility to imagine that, out of the thousands of things for sale on a given day, the most attractively priced is the one being sold by a knowledgeable seller (company insiders) to a less-knowledgeable buyer (investors)." Just out of curiosity, any particular reason you're looking for a specific share price?

I don't know, man... the yield is sweet, but ARR's actual share price is down more than 54% during its five year existence, while the S&P is up 108% over the same period. Obviously some of that is due to the nature of the real estate market over the past few years, and there's something to be said for buying low and selling high, but a dollar thrown into the broad market five years ago would be worth four times more today than a dollar invested in ARR. Obvious disclaimer for the rest of the thread: Take anything you read here at your own peril.

More of a mutual fund kind of guy, but the one individual stock I own is actually Ford, which I picked up a few years ago and don't plan on getting rid of anytime soon. And while I've got a pretty good position built up in VTSAX, my favorite fund will always be PRWCX.

Exfil portion runs from 3:50-12:00 to save you some jibberjabber.

How does a squadron commander (of a maintenance squadron, no less, with probably hundreds of guys to look after) have time to write this trite garbage? And who is he writing it for? Does he really think the few knuckleheads who have always been out of regs will read this and suddenly see the error of their ways?

The war is "formally ending" later this year. We're just leaving some folks behind to take care of "two narrow missions: to continue supporting Afghan forces... and continuing to support counter terrorism operations against the remnants of al Qaeda." Don't worry though, that totally doesn't count as a war. I hope someone remembers to tell the bad guys to go home soon.

Can't speak for McChord, but KCHS is apparently not losing a squadron now, per last Friday's OG call. The four AD squadrons will be shrinking quite a bit though.

Glad we clarified that for all the E-1s and E-2s on these boards.

Yes, of all the things I've ever done, the time of my life was definitely sitting at a TIB show at the zoo. Also: Get your shit straight, TIB.

Just got out of Non-stop, featuring Liam Neeson as an air marshal. A couple points on the flying side will have you raising your eyebrows, but I thought it was pretty good. Less predictable than I would have expected... I wasn't able to figure it out, anyway. Any gouge on the new 300 flick?

He's dead, you know.

Don't worry guys, they're working aggressively.

As a young pup co-pilot, this isn't the kind of thing I want to worry about right now, but wouldn't you agree that I'd be stupid not to take the written this year and knock out the practical within the next two? The opportunity cost of missing out is insane.

Isn't it amazing that this is what the AF has come to?
