Drop Night Booze Question
I figured that was a long shot. I had just had some Avery beers the other weekend and I was thinking I wanted more!

Jalapeno Popcorn
I'm gonna second the Frank's Red Hot method! I was making popcorn a few days ago and spotted a bottle sitting on the bar so I added a generous amount to the cup of jalapeños out of curiosity; it turned out awesome so how we're doing it for every batch. Bacon is definitely next on the to do list.

If you're on Facebook check out the 71 STURON Spouses page for a start. Otherwise try to get together with the other spouses/girlfriends of the guys in your dude's class. We have a bunch of married guys in my class and all the wives hang out together. Then again some classes have very few married dudes and their wives have no one to hang out with... So they hang out with our class spouses as well Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

Two Planes Collide Over Wi. Everybody made it out.
Wow! That is nuts. The dude hanging on the wing strut was lucky not to get squished between the two airplanes! Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

What was your biggest mistake in UPT or IFS?
Immel-spin. You'll know it if you ever do it. That sounds even worse than a baileron roll

AF Light Air Support Aircraft
Dudes are spending 10+ years building that thing and spending way more than they originally intended all over the world already. Sounds like a no brainer!

"Prisoners" was not bad. Pretty decent mystery plot that had me wondering until near the end.

It's still that way; they don't charge me any extra even though my phone says 'roaming' all the time. I just lose service periodically throughout the day as my phone constantly tries to find a Verizon tower to talk to. I think it makes my battery run out faster than normal too. It's not that big of a deal so I will just put up with it while I'm here but if I was a brand new customer I'd probably look at other providers!

Enid is in a tiny black hole if you have Verizon. You can drive 20 minutes in any direction and get great service but in town it sucks! I would go AT&T everything else being equal.

Fighter Aircrew Conditioning Test (FACT) info
Yeah I think so. The test here was designed by the aero phys flight commander from what I heard.

Fighter Aircrew Conditioning Test (FACT) info
Here's what they do at Vance now: You get one minute for each exercise, and theoretically one minute of rest between each. The exercises (and min reps): 40 crunches with your feet up on a couch 40 air squats 40 lunges (20 per leg and you can switch legs each rep or do 20 and 20, however you want) 40 side crunches (lay down and put your right ankle on your left knee, then put your hands behind your head and bring your left elbow to your right knee, and vice versa) (20 per side) 10 burpees 5 pullups (with your palms away from you) Also, it's pretty unclear what the requirements really are. In T-6's you do not have to pass; if you fail any component they just give you a workout plan. They said if you track T-38's you just have to improve on your previous score. So I'm not really sure when or if you ever really have to actually pass. It's pretty easy anyway though... The only area anyone really had trouble with was pullups cause some dudes just don't do pullups I guess.

Mess Dress Party Shirt
You could try Lydia's right up Van Buren. I was in there a few weeks ago and they had all kinds of uniforms getting worked on. I'm not sure about party shirts specifically but it might be worth a shot.
