National Air Cargo 747 Crash at Bagram
That one with the cockpit audio still haunts me

And you have your answer. No one gives a squirt of piss about this reg. Not because we're all secret racists, but because we all see it for what it is: a giant CYA OPR bullet for writing down something that shouldn't have to be codified in a reg.

Bought a PPK for the wife, and .380 ammo was going for about the same as 9mm pre-crisis (.20-40¢/rd -ish) Oddly enough, .380 is easier to find now than it was before, since every buddy spike on earth is buying 2000rds of 9mm, .45, .223, and 22lr like its going extinct.

Saw a prior army helo dude show up at UPT not long before I PCSd. Bubba rolled in the door with 2Lt rank & senior pilot wings, the guy was a walking aneurysm generator everywhere he went.

Not going to UPT...will I get kicked out?
Far be it from me to perpetuate a stereotype :: sarcasm ::, but most of the studs I saw wash out for academics were ex-football players, international students & guard dudes. The standing policy from the wing king at CBM (which I imagine had backing from 19AF) was: "If you can't hack UPT academics, either through un/underdeveloped study skills or a lack of motivation, you have no business being a technical leader at any level in the Air Force." Basically, AC washouts were automatically non-recommended for retention. If you just didn't have the hands, that's another story entirely, and I rarely saw those types be non-retained

Irony: calling someone a careerist for focusing on the mission instead of "shit floats to the top" queep regs.

Are you ######ing kidding me? So by that logic, sitting unarmed in the fetal position in the bathtub is the correct response? I know a California congresswoman who would love to shake your hand right now. If the cops illegally kick in a door in the middle of the night and startle a law-abiding, armed citizen, then the resulting firefight is 100% the police's fault. Using the argument of tension and darkness is bullshit too, it just leads to an easy excuse to bypass search & seizure.- Navigator/CSO future

KBAD BX has PMAGs for $13 (limit 2)- Motion/Airsickness (Barany Chair)
Honestly bro, it doesn't sound good. However, I have had plenty of students in UPT get over pretty extreme airsickness & go on to be good pilots. Your issue is that you're resigning yourself to sit sideways (or backwards) in the dark while someone else does the flying... Never a good recipe for someone prone to puking. If you're going to give it a shot, I highly recommend giving yourself a window & access to the controls. You'd be amazed how much airsickness goes away when you're the one driving the jet. Edit: stoopid autocorrect- Viper crash in Afghanistan....
