Jethro Tull's pretty cool. How many albums has he released?

Oh..well. network security demands that I get rid of that for you. 1. Big Lebowski 2. O Brother Where art Thou 3. Matrix (all hail our one god Neo)

Interstellar - awesome hard sci-fi flick. Very 2001-ish.

This one? https://www.af.mil/AboutUs/Biographies/Display/tabid/225/Article/108119/general-lori-j-robinson.aspx

Other articles say this was at the club in front of enlisted folks, unrelated to a debrief. Do you guys do that?

I'm not up for a board. Just noticed it. Where do I find those instructions?

Still on the rack and stack excel sheet I just got from the boss. So.. not really solving anything.

This board has helped me orient myself to what the USAF should be about - mission. Not my stupid rules saying who can connect what/when. Not saying we're closed at 1600L to someone before figuring out the back story. This board has helped me become a better Airman and Officer. I can't really say that about anywhere else on the internet. Sure, I got a ban for making a poor joke in a thread. I don't think I deserved it, but I believe that's called arguing in the debrief or quibbling. I blocked USAFPilots posts long ago. It's made this thread in particular so much more enjoyable (and short).

Well, I was there in '99

I miss the tents from 1999

Sucker for hot blondes, what can I say. Plus, this one's nice to me.

So first.. I need to cancel my cell phone insurance. Stupid me. I got it when phones cost more and I was in the middle of a divorce and couldn't afford to drop the $ on another smart phone. Hell.. probably shouldn't have gotten it in the first place. Second, I did get AppleCare. Cost... $300+. I've had work done costing over a $1k. I walk into an apple store, say what's wrong, they look up to see if it's under warranty and take it away to fix it. I might have signed one form. Comes back working and clean. I drop my laptops. However, it was the wireless card that died with another issues I can't remember. Perhaps related to the dropping. So, it is the one gadget insurance purchase I do and encourage others to do. As always YMMV. I will be getting it again if I get another MacBook. If I get something else, probably not since it won't be as expensive/expected to last as long. My wife also kills her laptops. I don't know how, they just stop working at some point. I'm comm and she's the worst customer I have...

This dumb shit is on here too? He's a civilian. The salutes didn't start until Reagan did it. I don't care for the man, but this is some dumb shit to be getting worked up over. How about this instead - Air Force Installation & Mission Support Center https://www.afmc.af.mil/library/featuredtopicarchive/airforceinstallation&missionsupportcenter.asp Now the wing king ain't.

No. SCCM is broken and needs to get fixed. There was a patch released to do this recently because it was an issue ID'd with the OS image HHQ pushed for machines.

I know a guy who knew the guy. So, with that chain of custody - The CC directed ADAPT complete ex-Capt decided he was still good to imbibe in a foreign land, with E's in their dorm day room... which had cameras. My bud just shook his head when I brought it up and said the dude got off light for what could have happened and the now ex-capt was surprised this happened at all. All my friend would say is this dude was a problem for a long time and didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Ah yes.. this dude. Somehow it fails to mention the head-slamming victim was female.

It's funny till it happens to you. Who's excited for the Virtual ESD??!?!?!?!

This was also my preferred method. Parallels just didn't work well for me when trying to do AF/Windows stuff. You can attempt to do it free with WINE (https://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX) if you feel like spending more time trying to get it to work. Note - I couldn't.

It seemed to start working until about three days ago, but now I'm not getting updates to "View New Content" again. I'll get one or 2 threads, but nothing I've commented in before.

I've got a galaxy tab 2. It's a nice little toy, but that's about it. I hate reading on it for extended periods of time and it's just a bit to heavy/sized to hold like a book. I thought I was going to use it for class, but I can't look up references and write on it at the same time. If you get one of the newer ones you can split the screen.. but that's it. There's no windows to move and all that. I play games on it, and use it for church lessons. My kindle paperwhite gets a lot of usage though. That thing rules for reading.

I run windows, mac and linux at home. You know.. because. Win7 is a great OS. It's everything Vista should have been. Win8 is awful, don't get it. Though, if it's on a laptop with a multi-touch pad your experience should be better. I'm rocking a 08 Macbook Pro still and as much as I want to get away from the brand, the build quality and care is unparalleled. I can't tell you have many times it's been dropped and not had an issue. AppleCare is a must, so factor that into the price. IF you want to do work at home get something with Windows. There are sometimes formatting issues between the different versions of Office. Rare, but highly annoying. Last I read getting the CAC reader to work with OSX was still a dirty hack. Also, someone else mentioned max out your ram. Yes.. do this. Also, here's a link to loading a SSD into your system for faster HD access - https://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_15_unibody_hd_h/ Don't get a tablet for anything official. I'm a nerd and I've tried to work it into official use, and it just doesn't work. Takes too long to write stuff, hard to balance and use a keyboard with, etc.

I've looked at my Cyber SURF. No offense taken! However, the best Cyber person I've met was a geology major. I just met a kick ass cyber O5, his degree? Resort Management. Cyber isn't some place just for the programmers or STEM folks. It's an attitude and disposition to learning that will show who a true nerd is. The kids who take things apart, spend hours researching small things about a system. The guys who argue about protocol implementations. Those are the qualities we need in the key mashers, and something the AF should be testing for, just like they do for pilot aptitude. It shouldn't be limited to a particular degree. But then.. which AFSC? They're now doing 2 AFSC's - 17D and 17S. I guess I'm a support bro now, that's fine. I put metal in the air. But we have the exact same training program, and I can get assigned to the NOSC... same as the 17S bros. That CFETP thing I was talking about? Clearly slanted towards the 17S's, but I get lumped in as well. Of course there's already douche 17DA's out there. That didn't take long. Good news! The AF is now paying for E8/9's to get their certifications. Nothing for us operational leaders yet, m'fers. I am currently a scrum master. I'd have to look again, but I believe we've got a very large bathtub moving up after the RIFs. Also, a ton of Cyber O6's just punched because they're tired of the nonsense. I'll get numbers so this isn't so vague tomorrow. The enlisted project management career field was just.. dissolved. They now have any 3D AFSC move into it, because project management is just something you pick up as an additional duty according to big blue. Boss is currently at a ACC Cyber CC's conference. Hope to get some good info, but we don't communicate in the career field about what's going on.

No, we just got rid of the whole career field 4 years ago. RIF'd a ton of cyber officers and then offered all the positions to civilians for "continuity" and have a GO for oversight.. who leaves after a couple years. There are professional organizations with legitimate certifications for Proj. Mgmt with emphasis on IT. Their certs are well respected and not easy to earn. Are these part of the hiring requirements? My (legit) masters is in this exact thing. Do you think it's even tracked somewhere to move me to that? Even if it was, all the Trident U grads show about the same thing.

Cyber and Intel have WIC now. I think Intel's been around for awhile now. Space has a WIC.. need I say more?
