She can't take The governing reg is AFI 36-3003 and it specifically states you cannot use PTDY to pick up a car: Now, that being said, I can't see any commander worth a shit making somebody take leave to pick up a vehicle. I would suggest she ask her commander/supervisor for a special pass to accomplish this. From the very first sentence in 36-3003: There is more detailed info under 8.3, but she should be good to go with this.

Well done, sir. And... Kudos to her as well.

Steve, The release of AIB is not directly related to disciplinary actions taken. AIBs are public record (whereas SIBs are not) and may be used to determine punitive actions, but its release is not tied to those actions.

The latter You may see reporting, but you won't see a report. It's an LOA (slap on the wrist), not an accident investigation.

Brady's retirement and has been delayed for several months. Related?

Wow. I remember reading this speech ten years ago and still have a copy of it. It's a long read, but absolutely fantastic. kenb (or anybody else who may have been there), where was the speech given and do you remember his rank? My version said it was change of command speech for Commandant of Cadets at USAFA, that the date was 26 Aug 99, and that he was a Brig Gen. But according to his biography, he didn't pin on BG until 1 Aug 00 and he was Commandant from Jun 99 to Sep 01.

Do NOT fuck with your sinuses. A bud of mine thought he had some minor sinus problems and tried to fly. No problem until he ruptured a sinus cavity on decent. Three months and some surgery later, he was back flying, but admits it was definitely not worth it.

Ditto all. We had a situation where some of our folks were getting a screw job and I contacted FG offline. The information he was able to find gave us the silver bullet that our folks needed. Thanks for all your help, FG.

The latest from the AF Enquirer - it's not her fault Graf inherited a bad wardroom

Just to clarify - you had 75 days before starting a 12 month course and used none during that period? If so, you are SOL. No, it's the end of the fiscal year (October 2011). Whatever leave you have above 60 will be lost after 30 Sep 2011.

Shut <> up. You're retarded. Sarcasm fail. Irony win.

Ditto above with a few additions. Furniture - The BX has furniture, but it’s a pretty limited selection compared to your average US selection. You can always choose from the catalog and have them order it. I would say if you find something nice in the states, don't pass it up. What to bring - In general, if it's 110V with a motor and/or costs less than about $50, don't bring it. I've updated the previous arrival gouge info and attached it. It has a lot of great information on how to get yourself ready and what to expect once you're here. Ramstein Welcome Guide.pdf

At any time you can leave base lodging and get your own place, but you will only be paid the amount you mentioned. The difference between this and being given a non-A slip to begin with is that with a non-A slip you will receive lodging costs at the (higher) local rate and full per diem. If your RA/Finance has half a brain, that won't fly. Your non-A should be dated for before your off-base lodging began. They won't give you the full lodging and per diem costs for only the latter portion when you were off base the entire time.

Reminds me of a call I got while I was sitting at the Ops Desk at Lakenheath. I answered a phone and one the other end was what seemed to be a very pissed off Scot who was yelling at the top of his lungs, "WHO FLEW OVER MAH HEWSE?" I don't know how the guy got our direct number, but apparently it wasn't the first time he called. After finally figuring out that he was trying to figure out who had flown over his house a couple minutes earlier, I asked for his name and address so we could pass it to the Wing Airspace bubbas and try to prevent it from happening again. His response was, "NO! I WANT 'EM TO COME BACK AGAIN!" Per his request, we added his house coordinates to our low fly NOTAM map as - "This is the house of Seamus the Scot - fly over as often, and as loud as possible" Rainman - do you have the original audio from when you started this thread? The links are dead.

I don't know the answer, but here's contact info for AAFES New Car Sales and Auto Exchange in the Ramstein area. There's an email for the AAFES site and a link to the Auto Exchange main page, which has a contact section. If you have trouble getting in touch with either of them, PM me and I can call them for you.

It's true. Metzger returns to active duty Highlights Interesting.

...because it makes us look like Spanish Hookers. My address is 1060 West Addison. Thanks.

Yeah, I give up.

Ditto Brick. We rely heavily on Guard/Reserve augmentation and are in a manning crush right now because the mandays we expected never came through. We're told that what few mandays we can expect for FY11 (which still haven't dropped) will be even less in the following years.

This fucknozzle has decided to try to spam the site and wasted our time and effort in reporting, and dealing with the problem, to include banning his address and email. In the process, we've retrieved his email account smiths.jax@gmail.com If anybody happens to know good lists of where to sign folks up for spam and junk mail, please add our friend jaxsmiths to the list. I hear he really likes gay porn and scat sites.

Agreed...moved.

I tried to go through my SE shop to get this (which unfortunately is the NAF at a non-flying location) and was given the "Why do you want to see this?" followed by silence. If anybody can get steer me in the right direction, please PM.

When I think chow hall, I think food. When I think DFAC, I think shoes and douchebaggery. It seemed appropriate.
