Here's a gentle quote from one of my Vietnam Hunter-Killer unit's Scout Pilots regarding the issue: "I think that it is horrible that those Marines pissed on those dead towelheads. They should have shit in their mouths while they were still alive" The VN generation is still slightly detached from the "politically correctness BS". We were lucky that the photo technology was limited in those days!

Just got it from Amazon Kindle. Looking forward to reading it!

Hey Masshole, go to the fidge and pop me a Bud.....and STFU while the game is on!

You should sew it into the seat of the flight suit, perfect for the student that has the tendency to put his head up his ass....

"Putin has one overriding objective: the creation of a third, post-tsarist, post-Soviet Russian empire". The way this administration has us headed, we don't have to worry about it....we'll be part of it!

Are you sure that it wasn't the TIB's number she gave you?

42 Years with USAA-Everything, Houses, Cars, Boats, AIrplane, LOC. Only CC except AE for business. Never an issue. Great kids programs. Trust explicitly. Great service responses etc and I hate betting against myself (Insurance) but one should have the comfort of knowing that they will be there if some douche bag tries to cramp your style! They also monitor your CC expendatures, will give you a call if your on a OCONUS trip, spending like a drunken sailor without first letting them know! I'd also recommend that if you have issues, go up the chain, stay civil and they'll do their best to satisfy. Sure there are some better loan percentages out there occasionally, but unless you are a cheap ass airline pilot, a .03-1% higher rate shouldn't be cause to bail....

He will and perhaps politics....

Wasn't that a 60 minutes interview at Creech?

Rolex GMT Master has always worked well for me.....but remember, when you go to the club (Dating myself; I know that that doesn't happen anymore: "Where have all the Fighter Pilots gone?") or while out trolling while on RON: The infamous "Big watch....little Richard" axiom!

Vicar went to hospital with potato stuck in bottom A vicar attended hospital with a potato stuck up his bottom - and claimed it got there after he fell on to the vegetable while naked. 2:55PM GMT 31 Oct 2008 The clergyman, in his 50s, told nurses he had been hanging curtains when he fell backwards on to his kitchen table. He happened to be nude at the time of the mishap, said the vicar, who insisted he had not been playing a sex game. The vicar had to undergo a delicate operation to extract the vegetable, one of a range of odd items medics in Sheffield have had to remove from people's backsides or genitals. Others include a can of deodorant, a cucumber, a Russian doll – and a carnation. Speaking of the vicar, A & E nurse Trudi Watson, of Sheffield's Northern General Hospital, said: "He explained to me, quite sincerely, he had been hanging curtains naked in the kitchen when he fell backwards on to the kitchen table and on to a potato. "But it's not for me to question his story. He had to undergo surgery to have it removed." She advised anyone tempted to use such objects in sex games to think again. "It can be very dangerous and potentially life-threatening," she said. "Surgery can lead to infection, nasty scarring, and it could possibly end up with the person having to use a colostomy bag as a result." A hospital trust spokeswoman in Sheffield said: "Like all busy hospitals we do see some unusual accidents. "But our staff deal with them in a discreet, professional and kind way."

I was there with an AH-1 Cobra for static display in the Heritage/Warbird section and would like to pass along a first-hand discription from Tim Brill, a long time aerobatics instructor at RTS: Tims email to me: Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who was involved. I hope the Air Races will continue in the future. We were sitting in our box seat (B-20) and witnessed the entire event when Jimmy Leeward's P-51 Mustang hit the ground at about box seat B-34, about 100 feet away. His airplane was running in third position during that part of the race. The airplanes came abound pylon # 8 (on the west end of the airport, just above runway 08) and were flying about 500+ mph down the runway going from west to east. We watched as the first 2 aircraft passed then noticed Jimmy's airplane make an abrupt climbing right turn towards the crowd and bleacher, climb very steep, "flutter" violently, then appear to roll knife-edge and come straight down into the box seat area. When we determined that the trajectory of the airplane was not going to impact on us, we then "hit the ground" fearing the debris would cause injury. As it turned out the debris went east, away from us. As of now there are 9 confirmed dead (including the pilot) and over 50 injured (15 critical). I'm sure the dead were directly in the impact area and the injured in debris field. In my opinion, the crash was the result of a catastrophic control failure. Some individual still pictures I saw seemed to show parts of the elevator control surface coming apart from the airframe prior to the accident. I think Jimmy tried all he could do to fly the airplane away from the crowd. In my opinion the "heros" were the ordinary civilian spectators who immediately took charge and began to stabilize the crash site. Many of them were medical professionals. The initial reaction from the local law authorities was one of being overwhelmed and "barking orders" in some random, confused fashion. Lots of sirens, flashing lights and vehicles moving chaotic directions, but not much coordinated control. The on-site professional first responders were overwhelmed. They had minimal equipment and 4 or 5 "quad" vehicles. Once the remote medical teams came on-site (within minutes), they continued with the initial triage already began by the civilians, and the response was then outstanding. Of course, that's not what the governor and mayor and officials said. They were all slapping each other on the back and saying what a great job each other did. No one has mentioned the job the public did. Just after the impact Nicole and two friends ran into the impact area as first responders. I wanted to account for our kids and all our friends, a few of whom were wandering in the box seat area. After I was able to account for my group, I returned to the crash site. I saw the impact "crater," and began to walk people out of the area to a safer location. A call went out over the loud spiked for anyone with a medical background to meet at a staging area and help with the scene. Our two friends, Randy and Tye began crowd control at one of the entries into the crash scene and were telling potential volunteers where to go for additional instructions. There were no police doing this job in this area (western entry into the box seats). Nicole was already "on-scene" and a bit frustrated that there were no first-aid bio hazard gloves available until after the remote medical teams arrived. And also there were no cervical spine collars available (again until the remote teams arrived) and she had to move the victims to the different triage staging areas without first stabilizing the patients. There was one man standing taking pictures of the injured and deceased and Nicole kicked him out of the area. Nevertheless she stayed there and tended to the victims until they were all evacuated to three different hospitals and she also helped clean up the area disposing everything in the biohazard bags (again, brought by the remote medical teams). The place was a big mess, there were bit and pieces of human remains and blood everywhere and the plane was in thousand pieces scattered everywhere. As soon as we got home, Nicole was able to wash all her clothes and shower. Just wanted to let everyone know that there were more first responders than medics during the first 30 minutes of chaos. The event announcer did an outstanding job. His instructions were calm, clear and concise. He was a true professional. Those who think "the gov't" will save them are idiots, as it was ordinary citizens who stepped up when things were really bad and not the so-called rent-a-cops and -medics who gave the impression of being in charge but who couldn't cope when it mattered most (until the real professionals arrived to help the helping citizens).

Here's one who is now sleeping with the "Tuna" after a "Rockin" Cross Country!!....

Is your name Erick? Have your wife represent you! PAY the man and quit quibbling...... An American woman claims she became pregant after watching a 3D porno. US military man Erick Jhonson came home from a stint in Iraq to find that his wife was pregnant, while he was trying to get ot of a radar enforced speeding ticket. Clearly he assumed she had an affair, but his wife Jennifer claims the “other man” was actually someone a little less physical. It seems he actually buys her story, however. “I see it as suspicious. The films in 3D are very real. With today’s technology, anything is possible,” he said. What's even more interesting is that both Jennifer and Erick are white, but the child is black. Jeniffer claims the kid looks like the black pornstar she had been ogling. She also claims this was one of the first times she's watched porn and only went with friends for the 3D effect. TechEye did a survey of one person and found 100 percent would say the same thing in a similar situation. “Even though my husband believed in me, my marriage could be at risk,” Jennifer said. “But he knows I’m faithful.” It just shows you what joining the military does to your head. Jennifer explained that “a month after watching the movie, I started feeling dizzy and the results were positive.” That must have been one good porno. 3D movies have gained renewed popularity since Avatar, but there have been some concerns raised over how bad they may be for your eyes. Now you'll have to worry about conceiving in the cinema. You may have jumped when an object in film was thrown at the camera, but now you'll have to be careful of other, far more uncouth things flying at you. TechEye recommends contraception for your next trip to the cinema. You never know.

Recommedations: 1st. See a civilian or preferably a former AF flight surgeon/Ophthalmologist and get a complete battery of tests and his opinion. It may be worth the expense. 2nd Occlusive patching or optical penalization should be considered as the clinical situation warrants. The amount of occlusive patching is dependent upon many factors, including age, density of amblyopia, and underlying etiology. In cases of mild amblyopia secondary to anisometropia, part-time occlusion may be all that is needed. The prognosis for alignment and maintenance of subnormal binocularity is excellent. 3rd Keep up the firght until they throw you out the door. 4th There is always the Marine Corps...:) Good luck with it....
