  1. 2 on this, but I would also venture to guess that when shots started ringing out that weren't coming from his gun, he'd probably sh*t his pants (reference the "everyone's a hero, till bullets fly" comment above, minus the hero part for this bastard). Also it obviously wasn't a suicide mission either, not that it really matters during the event, but still as a friend eloquently put it "what this freak needed is for someone to rain a hellstorm of hate and discontent right back at him as soon as he opened up", would definitely have shifted the dynamics of him freely shooting at will.
  2. Clears it up perfectly thanks! In honesty, I was waiting for a comment like this, still a good laugh. This is what I was looking for specifically.
  3. I know this a little bit on the sensitive side as far as all this info, but what's the difference between the U-28 and MC-12 then?
  4. Can someone clarify the difference between the PC-12 at Cannon and the U-28 at HRT?
  5. "The Defense Department on Thursday announced it is allowing service members to march in uniform in a gay pride parade for the first time in U.S. history." http://news.yahoo.com/members-march-gay-pride-parade-215510972.html

    I would stay away from Anacostia or that region in general. Are you looking to live in D.C. or the immediate area, otherwise the Metro goes a fair way into northern VA (will soon reach to Tyson's Corner, although that's still a little bit away), and it's not a horrible commute if you take the Metro (drive and you may want to kill yourself if you aren't used to D.C. traffic). 2 on the silver spring commute.
  7. http://www.foxnews.com/travel/2012/07/13/rising-demand-for-airline-pilots-raises-safety-concerns/?intcmp=features "An industry forecast that nearly half a million new airline pilots will be needed worldwide over the next 20 years as airlines expand their fleets...The forecast includes 69,000 new pilots in the North America, mostly in the U.S. The greatest growth will be in the Asia-Pacific region, where an estimated 185,600 new pilots will be needed."
  8. My dogs don't (yet, god knows what breed they'll add next) fall on the list, but I was saying Spaceman's paperwork says boxer, period dot end of discussion, they can speculate if the dog is part pitbull but that's where it ends.
  9. VN 12-12 T38s: F16 F15C F15E A-10 T-6 FAIP MC-12s x 2
  10. Well she is the resident feminist on the forum, I'm waiting for some "this is sexist!" comment that somehow tangents off into blackholes and if gravity is a law or theory.
  11. http://www.thelocal.de/society/20120707-43617.html German Mayor designates parking spaces for men: “But men are, as a rule, a little better at such challenges,” he told the paper. Que Masshole rant in 3..2..1

    That's ok, trying to get my CCW in Oklahoma, by law they have 60-90 days to issue you your license, I'm 2 weeks past the 90 days so I contacted the OK SBI, and they said it would be another 4 weeks. When I cited the law stating I should already have my answer; they just said yeah we know.
  13. All but one cadet in my class of 13 was on scholarship by the time we graduated. If not, then if you want it bad enough you'll figure out a way.
  14. Yeah, me and about a dozen other people I know have had LASIK and all passed their FC1.
  15. Yeah, it has been almost two years since I had to take the test on the computer (actually last time was at Brooks, but that was like herding cattle, I just went wherever they told me to go and did whatever I was instructed, I tried to forget most of my time there, especially the extra day of tests because I had Lasic). I'm not sure exactly what the deal was with him passing, he said he didn't understand the test (I'm not making excuses for him, one way or the other). Regardless of it he passed it a second time, but the AF is being difficult about accepting the new results as part of his waiver process. Also the dude isn't completely color blind, just "partially" green deficient. Edit: spelling
  16. Posting this for a buddy, trying to see if I can get any help from the Docs or others that may have gone through this: He went to Wright-Pat for his FC1, passed all the tests except for the new color vision test on the computer monitor. He said he didn't understand how the test worked, and I guess, "saw" letters when there weren't any because he didn't know there were blank screens or something. So he is diagnosed as color blind and DQ'd. He wouldn't accept it and made an appointment at Langley to have the test done again. He went to Langley, had the test and this time passed, and appealed the original finding. The AF is saying that it doesn't count, wasn't the same test, and he is still DQ'd. Does anyone have any experience with this willing to give some advice?
  17. If you suck that bad, why even have an air force?
  18. Find a way to get rid of the page reloading every time a drop-down menu is selected. It takes long enough to load each page in the first place. 2 on the progress bar or hour glass.
  19. Yeah I was selected to go to the USAFA summer jump program, and I kid you not, I would have showed to the school at 364 days post-op, and they wouldn't send me because I couldn't get the required flight physical until 1 year after the surgery. I told my surgeon and he laughed saying my eyes were completely healed by 3 months.
  20. Get a rubik's cube or bounce a tennis ball off the wall while saying them, the problem remembering BF/OL isn't when you are sitting in your room going over it, it is when you are standing at attention in front of 28 people you met 4 days ago, trying to think through an emergency scenario about an airplane you barely know about in detail. Same goes for pretty much everything else (ground ops, checklists, maneuvers ect.)
  21. If it isn't documented they can't say anything, if all the paperwork says boxer, than the dog is a boxer. I don't care what the dog "looks" like, I have two mixed dogs that I rescued and I can, at best, speculate what the breeds are in each.
  22. Wow, there are few things that can really piss me off and kicking a baby falls into the category. I'd love to return the favor for the baby, although I'd probably end up in jail for murder.
  23. So just who exactly is involved in the safety day? Finance, MPF, the med group? Because we all know they need it the most out of anyone Glad to here the pilot is ok.
