    I must just be a complete retard because I've read all the instructions 6-9 times, and read every single post in the discussion multiple times. Still not getting it. If you honestly want to tell me that this stuff is clearly explained, then I just need get out right this second because if I can't figure this crap out, I don't belong at the controls of a multi-million dollar aircraft, or teaching young guys, or in combat...

    Yeah, the Joint ILA's are killing me. Anyone that knows what abstract thing their looking for in them please share. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  3. You're making those of us who chimed in regret our decision. Just. Stop. Typing. Whoever it was that said unteachable might just have been right. This may actually be a troll messing with everyone. Edited for stupidity Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  4. Okay, I lied. That was worth posting one more time. Well played! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  5. I feel pretty lucky in that case because while that definitely exists in Rescue, I feel like it has been minimal. For the most part, at least as of two years ago when last operational, it was known who we're the workers and who were the ones who avoided it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  6. It's his last statement about judging what it takes to make it in the Air Force. He k ows what it takes for him, and in a very general sense, but judging whether someone will be able to hack it or not based off a few stupid Internet posts is beyond his depth. He's still a little wet behind the ears for that. Heck, I've BTDT and judging someone's capacity for being a pilot in the AF is beyond me. His other posts on this forum are often posted with an attitude of being beyond reproach. He's a political genius apparently, but there are about 69 other political masterminds on here as well. I don't blame him, I blame the anonymity that apparently doesn't exist on this board like the rest of the Internet. Contrary to the tough guys that spout out the constant rhetoric of "this is the exact way I would talk to you in person" BS most people would not treat others in real life with the blatant disrespect that is shown on here every 6.9 seconds. I apologize for engaging in this online schlong measuring contest though. I should have known better. Feel free to flame away, I'll refrain from attempting to inject anymore common sense, and whoever wants can feel like the tough guy that chased me off. Where's the next kid we can belittle to make ourselves bigger? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  7. It's funny because you have 2 seconds worth of experience and sacrifice under your belt, yet you try to pile on with the grey beards. Grey beard on an Internet forum does not make you an experience pilot. You're still in the stfu category, but keep on acting like you know it all. I think it's rich. As for Art, he's an idiot, but he's gotta learn somehow. Most of you are so butt hurt that he dared stand up to you it's laughable. Gimme a break. He's an ignorant kid looking for answers. I'll echo Zach braff's comments. Good advice with some ribbing, is good. Most of you have such hard-ons for your own "awesomeness" you can't actually see that you're being just as SNAPish. You're looking for offense and insults where none was seriously given. If this kid shows up to UPT with this attitude, game on. Tear him up, until then he's just a kid. But hey, I'm going against the grain, so I must be ridiculed as well. Go ahead, my ego can take it. I enjoy reading some of the idiotic things posted here, and the people that take themselves way too seriously. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  8. Ignore scoobs. He's a troll, and always has been. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  9. I did the uhaul truck with my bike in the back. It was worth the money, and an easy way to move the bike.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  10. Wasn't the surgery that did it. She was gross before the problems. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  11. I was following until this point. Maybe I'm just really tired, but I don't get why he is so angry if he got back in the jet. School select too. What gives? You as well, you are flying, apparently doing well (evaluator, IP, etc) yet you are still hating it. I'm not poking a finger, I am honestly confused. I'm in a pretty isolated position right now, and before that I was in helos, so I haven't seen most of what you guys are talking about in regards to TAMI and UAVs. I'm with you 100% on the suck factor of most of what is happening in the AF, but I thought getting back into the jet was the dream for everyone in UAVs. Especially your bud who is back in F-16s. Seriously, genuine question, no spears. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

  13. I go through the consulate closest to me. It's not an APO, but it's close enough. It's an hour away, so I don't check it often. I'm 11 hours from the nearest base, and the consulate route takes a month or so, but that's all I've been able to work. Check with them. There is an DPO in the states that ships to the Embassy. The Embassy then ships it via van to the consulate (6 hours), and I pick it up when I can. You can't have over sized items shipped, but oh well. DPO not FPO. Sorry, didn't see that DPO was already coverd.
  14. Anybody used these guys for buying a rental property? Just curious.

    Yep. Try it with French crews in the helo speaking to Italian C-130's speaking English. EMCON 1 has never been so painful. They're supposed to know English, but I never understand it... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  16. So, you've never really flown a -60 then? ;)
  17. slackline replied to a post in a topic in General Discussion
    Good point. Probably why I haven't done anything like that in these awesome ACSC discussions... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Get over yourself. Once again Internet BS. He came in saying why it was important to go along with all the crap that is killing the AF. I explained why those reasons weren't good enough. If all you saw was me trying to say how tough I am on the Internet, then go back and read it again. It's been said on here before, but I'll say it again. Most of you guys simply want to complain about the AF and wouldn't dare stepping out of line. My bad, I thought I was talking with some people who were like-minded about ACSC. If you secretly love it, that's cool. Everyone talks a big game, but when push comes to shove, you guys are right there next to the people you call shoeclerks participating wholeheartedly in the crap that is making our lives miserable.

    I'm already a select, and I already got my push. I am literally doing this to keep my boss off my back. I hate playing the game, and I'm sorry, but "just playing the game makes the game continue. I didn't come in here to debate the merits of a program that everyone thinks is stupid, wasteful, and taking up what little free time we have. I'll refrain from offending everyone in my ice breakers, but I won't be some pandering retard. This isn't cooperate to graduate UPT. You should read the crap, and awful English these people are using. You can tell there are a few others min-running the course too, and I give them rave reviews and feedback. I made up some ridiculous motto for space command joking around, and now the other tools and the instructor are convinced it should be the real motto... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Well, you're allowed to bomb once right? I think I'm going to see just how little effort I can get away with. Some of the forum discussions are way, way too in depth for this garbage. One dude made a bibliography for a discussion answer... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  22. slackline replied to a post in a topic in General Discussion
    Ugh, I'm doing one of the applied courses for ACSC right now. It is covering crap I read over two months ago. Am I really required to retain all that garbage for two months in order to put it into BS forum responses and a typed paper? I'm having to re-scan everything because that stuff was brain dumped long, long ago. You should see the amount of people that are "excited" about the course and its "amazing learning opportunities". Are they just trying to kiss up to the online instructor, or are they really excited? I can't wait to be done with this noise... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
  23. While generally a pretty sweet homage to the tanker and the important mission it accomplishes, I've never worked with one. Cheers to the crew though! I have a lot of good friends in the tanker community, and it sucks to lose your guys in any way. Thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends.
  24. I personally know most of the guys in the 129th, and I say BS. Great group of people, unless they have just somehow managed to hide it all.

    No idea on statistics, but for me it's all about timing, location and luck. Zero AAD (even told my boss I won't do a master's unless sent by AF), exec exp, and no flt cc, and somehow they fell asleep at the board and selected me for school last year. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
