Herc pilots go to Pensacola for water survival now. I don't know what it used to be but it is now parachute or non-parachute, so if you MWS can carry a parachute you go to FL.

From the content of the article it was most likely a refresher course, when I was there about a month of ago we had several older guys going back through the course with the first time students. A couple guys were active duty recalls and the likes. Looks like an outstanding officer, prayers go out to his family.

I had to turn the video off about 45 seconds into the little "closing word" segment at the end, couldn't listen to his attempt at "operator jargon" and special operations crap. Kudos to him, I'm sure he is a professional at his job, but seriously talking and walking like an actual military operator doesn't make you one. +1 on the gun, looks awesome.

I'm heading to Altus and one of the apts. there has $600 pet fee for the duration of my stay (17 PIQ), is there a way to get that incorporated into my rent in such a way that my $39/night will cover it or do I just show finance the bill and they pay it. Not sure how finance reimburses this stuff, so any insight is appreciated.

I can't find anything in the JFTR about pets except for Quarantine on OCONUS PCS's. Just to check the AF will not pay to kennel my pets while I'm at a TDY enroute location?

You have too much time on your hands but well done.

I have no idea how being retired means you don't have the SA to call bullshit on this situation, but then again much of what you post doesn't make sense.

We can only hope you aren't in command of anything either. Good god man how naive/low SA do you have to have to call Rainman a retired guy that knows nothing? I may be just a dumb LT but even I'm smart enough to know just cause he isn't in anymore doesn't mean he forgot everything and from what I gather he has many friends who are still AD.

FIFY

From what I remember this applies only to those currently in UPT not casual LTs.

+1 for crossbreed holsters, had mine for almost a year now and the quality and comfort is beyond superb.

FIFY I'm more thankful everyday I never had to attend that AD extension of ROTC.

You should think this through better, when you get your RIP for IFS if you don't have your PPL you go to Doss. See the post above yours to answer this question, 4 weeks at a washout course or free pass on one hurdle of the UPT process. People who have more experience and get paid more to make those decisions. Again if you can bypass IFS and go straight to UPT the process to get eliminated from UPT is more extensive than IFS. You haven't been to IFS so stop talking about how much it does or doesn't suck; I'll tell you it sucks, its stressful, and you most likely won't enjoy your time there (except maybe getting plastered on the weekend). As mentioned before its Initial Flight Screening not training, the small bit of Air Force flying which from what I remember what just a simplified version Air Force traffic pattern doesn't exactly give you a head start. IFS has its merits for the Air Force not exactly for you as the student.

2 on this and it is probably not (however easy the targets) a great idea in the political realm of that position to Day 1 undo the some of the most memorable policies of the previous commander.

Ran across a bunch of CRO, combat controllers and Special Tact. Candidates here at Fairchild. These are 2nd Lt. And They are still going through the pipeline to even earn their beret and guess what they were talking about? Where they were getting their masters degree from.

Really? that's funny because I have more friends than I can count on two hands (myself included) who got Lasic/PRK at 19-21 years old. Most Surgeons require your vision to be stable for 1-2 years at that age before they will operate. Edit: typing on iPad

A tenured California college professor was the focus of a four-month investigation after he wrote a letter to the local newspaper critical of the school’s plans for a new degree in homosexual studies. http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/professor-who-questioned-lgbt-class-faced-probe.html And we wonder why the U.S. education system is in the state it is today.

Holy crap, I started reading it and then just scrolled to see how long it went on.

So you are just speculating then?

I think it falls into the category of widely practiced.

Got chiefed the other day (well it was SMSgt'd, but who cares), walking through a parking lot to my car. The SMSgt was parking his motorcycle, he shut it off and called out "excuse me sir". I walked over to him, knew it was about me having my sleeves pushed up since it was 105 degrees outside. He got off his motorcycle, snapped to the position of attention and saluted, he then very courteously asked me to pull down my sleeves. I pulled them down, he thanked me and told me to have a good day and we parted ways. That is the way NCOs should act not yelling across a chow hall.

New guy on the block, what is the point of surrendering your ID and how does that work with the requirement to have you ID with you at all times?

- Dyess (500 hrs): Traveled to Randolph; toured promo board room & reviewed/corrected records So 500 hrs of checking over their records in vMPF is noteworthy?
