Dafuq is a civilian Airman?

I do believe I've seen that one before. Great words.

Sorry brother, show me a picture of Robin Olds with a scarf and I maybe (won't) pull one out of the container of other crap I don't wear. Steve Ritchie? Fail - I've met him in person and he's an a-hole.

Does anybody have a T-38 Dash 1 from prior to 2008? I'm looking for the before takeoff portion of the checklist to compare against the current checklist. If you have a copy and can scan that portion, please PM me.

Look at your SURF. It lists your gate months.

HATRs are not privileged like most mishaps, so the information can be released. Having read the safety report, I will say that they got most of the facts right, but there's a couple goofy points of emphasis.

Whatever it is, the AF Times will let us know 6-9 minutes after it happens.

Just make sure they're not hot.

In and of themselves, Q3 or speeding tickets do not lead to a referral OPR. That being said, who wants a CC who gets a Q3? And who can't pass our pathetic PT test? Gimme a fucking break. Weren't we talking about blues?

I think that may have been a secret FU to the inspectors. Win.

The results are in. 32,000 inappropriate items uncovered. As expected, nose art was one of the items. As was a cover of the AF Times. And somebody's copy of 50 shades of grey. For once in my life, I actually with the folks posting in the comment section of the article. Seems like a lot of folks need to get a grip. Edit: Typing at the same time as magnetfreezer

Pretty tough to do a sock check in a pressure suit.

It's not a new reg, it's the revision to AFI 36-2406. It doesn't deal with PRFs at all, and most of the changes are transparent for folks on this board.

Cars was the first movie I took my son to. He approves....I'm in.

Ensuring that those with flight suits conform to uniform AFIs, specifically with regards to proper sock color. Not done by pulling the legs of the flight suit up.

This won't affect us. I saw a couple of news stories on this, and it sounds like the whole thing is being driven by the actions of idiots (no real surprise), including one woman who took an Ambien in the morning, then crashed her car less than an hour later - she didn't remember any of it. The reports were full of, "Well, no shit" type of information like, "Don't take Ambien if you can't get at least 8 hours of sleep" and "Don't take an Ambien and drive a car."

Got this today: Extension of Leave Carryover of 75 days: Section 521 of the FY 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (signed by the President on 02 Jan) includes a provision to extend the maximum leave carryover of 75 days through September 30, 2015. This new guidance replaces the FY 2010 NDAA guidance for leave carryover that was to expire this fiscal year. Members who carried forward a balance of 75 days at the start of FY 2013 will now have to use only 30 days of leave this year to prevent losing leave.

Student or IP? I can't offer anything on specifics to base housing (I live off-base and don't know anybody who lives on base), but I would recommend on base if you're a student, and off base if you're an IP.

Damn right.

Where can you even drink at 0100 in the KMCC?

The link is broken. I'll dig around for one at work and see if I can find one.

Apparently we went to different courses. Just so it's not lost - always ask for privilege, and lawyer up when in doubt.

Not true. The AF Safety Center trains safety personnel and they most certainly do train folks to offer privilege for personnel directly involved with the mishap. Whether your MAJCOM practices this is another thing. Privileged statements lose their promise of confidentiality if the the witness lied, or if criminal acts were carried out. Other than that, no. AFI 91-204 3.3.2. The Air Force does not use privileged safety information as evidence for punitive, disciplinary, or adverse administrative actions, for determining the misconduct or line-of duty status of any person, in flying evaluation board hearings or reviews, to determine liability or liability in claims for or against the United States, or in any other manner in any action by or against the United States. You're mixing apples and oranges here. Safety isn't going to say a thing about council because they don't have anything to do with legal proceedings. And as to the secret menu, that's BS as well - not what's taught to safety folks, but - again - it may be a MAJCOM specific thing.
