New Base Ops Malware issue?
Not sure what's going on, but I'm getting it as well. I'll get in touch with the techies.

Badass of the Week

I can't decide what makes me more angry, the fact that they remade this classic and will most likely fuck it up. Or the fact that I kinda want to see it.

MV-22 "hard landing" near Creech
Other than calling somebody up from another service, I don't believe so.

That's exactly how the Navy does their FITREPs (OPRs). Seems to work pretty well for them.

EFMP (Exceptional Family Member Program)
From personal experience, I concur with what TMFan said regarding Ramstein. You have the right mentality with EFMP - I had to do the same thing leaving Ramstein when I was notified less than months prior to PCS that a family member had been put on EFMP about a year prior without them actually notifying me of that. As big of a fuckalolly as the Ramstein MPF was, EFMP was the boat anchor that almost caused me to push back my departure date. I had to call direct to O-5s in the MDG to get things rolling for what should have been relatively simple actions.

Weird...it used to always be so clear. Nothing new here, folks. I've heard of lots of great ideas, but don't bank on anything that seems too good to be true because in a few years when there's a new CSAF, it will all swing back in the other direction. All of a sudden those things we didn't need to do will be required once again, and folks are going to scramble to get them done.

Picture of deployed asset and responses removed. Here's a perfect summary of why: and another good point: One last note - if something is questionable, use the "Report" button at the bottom of each post and it immediately sends a direct notification to the moderators with a link to the post. We don't read through all the threads, so it's very easy for this to get overlooked.

Question about the Coast Guard
Wait...what?

More SARC briefings soon.
Don't joke about it. Not even if you're a comedian performing on base. This is probably similar to the performance he put on. Whether or not you think it's offensive, it's just mind numbingly unfunny.

Totally legal. The JFTR does not restrict shared lodging for officers (it does specifically address reimbursements for this), this is traditionally a lodging policy.- Base gyms to be open 24/7
Holy crap...as far as I can tell, this is actually a pretty damn good idea. Base gyms to be open 24/7 Summary: On commander approval, gyms will stay open 24/7, with access via CAC and security cameras in place. Surely, something or somebody will f*** this up.- Latest Movies
Looks horrible.- T-38 lands gear-up: crew ok
Not sure what you're basing that on, but they're in the top 3 of our IFEs. If none of the gear come down after alternate extension, you land gear up. If one of the mains won't come down, you land gear up or punch.- ENJJPT information

Ought to be the other way around. I'd go buy MB a case of scotch if I was one of these two.- SPS Lt beats cancer, gets Raptor
Split from Track Select thread so as to not have it be buried, with update on the article. Best part of the night was the student who got cancer....pulled from training for 15 months...beat cancer...came back, kicked ass, got a Raptor. Fucking awesome.- US KC-135 Down - Kyrgyzstan
If you have access to AFSAS, it shows withdrawn, but the report is still there. Very eye opening, and tragic.- Super Hornet question.
