  1. DNIF for at least 6 months, but thank god the sq wasn't having a memorial for me. List of injuries is extensive, just thankful that my AF family has stepped up in this time of need for me. Couldn't be any happier with my CC and fellow aviators. Thanks everyone for checking up on me. See you back at work in about a month or so.

    Raw deal -- happy to see you made it out alive though. :rock:

  2. There is actually a list of units authorized to wear the TFDU and MultiCam 2-piece, which is currently under revision. Bottom line: if your unit is not on the list, then IEU won't hook you up. I'll try to e-mail some folks and see if anything has changed.

  3. Big crock of shit. Billions lost and a couple lives waste. Tell that to the birds.

    A newly designed C-46 would have cost less, achieved desired payload/speed and gotten to the troops faster. USMC's fantasy with futuristic ideas beat me. The Navy did something similar to the F/A-18 and had a brand new and highly capable aircraft in no time.

    Lives:* Clearly you haven't been in a Phrog. Read the reports and check the crash stats since 2000.

    Money: see lives...what's yours worth?

    * I assume you meant CH.

  4. Im an avid shooter and plan on taking my two handguns and Mosin Nagant rifle with me to Columbus. I plan on living on base and Im not really sure how to store the weapons and so forth. Im also interested if there are any rifle/handgun ranges in or near Columbus. Does anyone here have any advice or can point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!!

    Starkville Gun Club -- yearly membership, private access and you get your own key to the gate. I would mainly go there to shoot skeet/trap. Anything else, I would just take Barton Ferry road until you see the bridge and flightline access gate. Great spot to shoot weapons or fireworks.

  5. What makes me qualified? How about our regs that say we need to be familiar with the approach to BACKUP the pilots up. Please refer to our MDS Vol 3, if you want to get educated on my job responsibilities.

    6.41. Descent.

    Before descent into unfamiliar areas, pilots will review appropriate terrain charts to increase aircrew situational awareness of obstructions. Primary crewmembers will not be involved in duties other than aircraft operations, descent and approach monitoring, and required checklist items from the initial descent point to landing.

    Unless I'm looking at the wrong pub, I'd say you are wrong. Putting that aside, seems like you are on track for IP upgrade.

    Have fun flying UAV's someday oh great one.

    You say that like it's an insult which makes you a ######ing twat.

    And hard landings happen idiot, check my medical records.

    I did -- all I could find was a prescription for Vagisil. You said you weren't married...

    Please find another forum and tell them how big your dick is. Maybe someone else will be impressed, because this old sarge isn't.

    :rainbow:

  6. Sort of a douche comment. No pilot wings here. Just a few less fillings from all your hard landings.

    Not a douche comment, honestly wondering what makes you qualified to comment on instrument approaches. I won't argue that a crew save is a good save, because it's true. The next time you want to comment on hard landings feel free to fly an AMP-4 on a 0 illum night. If not, then shut the ###### up.

  7. I just told a pilot what he was doing wrong on an approach today (the IP asked me what I was seeing) and he corrected it and made some great approaches. I'm sure that experience would never cross over to being a pilot though. The T.E.D. will leave you with this.

    My all time favorite shirt said this on it "Pilots, looking down on people since 1903"

    Just wondering: how many approaches have you flown and what sort of pilot cert / pilot wings do you have?

  8. All you need are names and last known addresses. The investigators are pretty good about tracking down your references.

    I had an investigator call me trying to schedule an interview for a bro getting his TS. Long story short, we arranged a meeting at the base library. After waiting for 45 minutes I called to ask WTF she was, to which she replied "I'm at the library." Turns out she was the base library from my old duty station...awesome.
