  1. Welcome to any large corporate entity....

    Russian fake accounts and hacking.
  3. Took a little skill to add min AB while on the boom rather than dropping off selecting min AB then getting back on the boom (F-4G w/ 3 tanks, 2 harms, 2 AIM-7Es, ECM pod, full fuel = about 63k lbs)

    Back to our regularly scheduled programming: https://nypost.com/2017/10/10/air-force-fitness-model-just-wants-to-serve-her-country/

    And so it begins... https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2017/10/daniel-zimmerman/diane-feinstein-introduces-bill-to-ban-bump-fire-stocks/ "Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a longtime advocate of stricter gun control measures, introduced a bill Wednesday that would ban the sale and possession of bump-stock equipment and other devices that essentially turn a semiautomatic weapon into an automatic one."

    I am not advocating that we change the 2A, my point that while as written it is not negotiable (unless the SCOTUS rules otherwise in the interest of public safety or some such...such as random stops for DUI checks) only that the Constitution and the amendments are amendable.
  7. Darth replied to slacker's topic in Squadron Bar
    While not negotiable, it is changeable. "For an amendment to be proposed or repealed, it requires two/thirds of both federal legislative bodies — House and Senate — to vote in the affirmative (two/thirds in the House, two/thirds in the Senate). It also requires two/thirds of the state legislatures of the 50 states to vote in the affirmative. The move to propose or repeal can begin with the American people, with a majority of the populations in two thirds of the 50 states voting for the amendment or its repeal. However, even if the people do this, the push to propose or repeal still has to garner two/thirds House, two/thirds Senate, and two/thirds of all 50 state legislatures."
  8. Did you know his staff finally took away his twitter account so he would stop arguing with/bashing individuals via that social media? I had sub-threshold noticed the lack of tweets but did not connect it. Here's to hoping as president, he develops a filter between his random thoughts and what comes out of his mouth. And I am curious to see how things go and if the GOP can hold the house and senate in 2 years. Obama's policies and Clinton's thuggery contributed to the Repubs controlling both. It is Trump's to screw up. I am sincerely glad this election is over. Hope it gets better from here.
  9. Tricare Prime, no major health issues with a minor shoulder surgery for a bone spur Oct 2015 (Subacromial Decompression - which was a well spent $25 copay.) I use the base pharmacy for prescriptions so they are free. I have found it to be a good deal overall. I guess this comment is the the military base clinic will not take retirees so I had to find an off-base PCM which has worked out fine.

  11. Hmmm... Crimea votes to leave and becomes annexed by Russia....Maybe Texas should ask Mexico for help to leave the Union. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annexation_of_Crimea_by_the_Russian_Federation Now back to our regularly scheduled BS (I mean debate.) What was this threat about?? Oh, yeah. Scottish independance. Wonder how it is turning out. "FREEDOM!!" Be careful what you ask for.

    Hmmm. What to do? Offer to help? Of course it all depends.... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-health/11063825/Half-of-young-women-cant-locate-their-vaginas.html
  13. More RPA CAPs. Dedicated to every unit who needs one. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-only-way-to-defeat-the-islamic-state/2014/09/05/4b2d7bd4-3459-11e4-a723-fa3895a25d02_story.html If only the USAF and USN would step up and do it.

  16. Mike Hostage is shit hot guy. And I mean it. Had the privilege of flying Vipers at Hill when he was the wing commander.

  18. https://www.armytimes.com/article/20140225/NEWS/302250023 Oops. Thought I had posted this in the WTF thread. Obviously not. Just the start of the way the rest of the day went at work as well. However, one more day of work then off to skiing for the weekend.
  19. Maybe you should focus on work dammit!!!! Or maybe not........

    I do believe there was some counseling involved after it went viral. I leave it for Toro to discuss or not. The Air Force has not changed as much as people think. It is just somewhat easier to get visibility world wide a bit faster these days. Maybe the level of counseling has changed as I remember standing in my Ops O's office with him telling me if I ever do that again he would kill me. His final words "get the out of my office." I would like to see if the former cadet has anything to say about it.
  21. Darth replied to B*D*A's topic in Squadron Bar
    My kind humor. Listen to the words at 2:10. Mila Kunis, Mila Kunis and watch the subtitle translation.
  22. 5 foot 7 inches tall and 190 pounds? Weebles wobble but they don't fall down. Unless they go AWOL. Late to the thread but I've been busy.
  23. Please don't associate special needs folks with navs.
  24. How do you know a date with a fighter pilot is half over? He says "Enough about me, let me tell you about my airplane."

    I did get the point. Your meter is broken.
