Not to derail, hoping Dave1 isn't exiled (cause it was getting entertaining), but do you have a link? Sounds good.

IFF (Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals) info
IFF "Squadrons" have been a waste of money for years. 12 IP's for 4 students (DLF example, and thats being generous), SUPT T-38 flights have WAY (17) more students than that and it's run by a Captain (with less IP's). I guess they are doing something better by closing some of the squadrons, it's still a waste, make them flights in a UPT squadron and end it. IFF is a haze, what can you learn with 4 flights in a phase, next to nothing. I guess its a good deal though, lots of CT/direct support, 8-3 hours, no nights, and I wonder why they defend themselves. I hope the generals are watching.

Mock fights
What CH said, but the truth is no one has been that close before.

Mock fights
Money was tight, lost the edge, had to fight Mig-28's on my first DACT (Dissimilar Air Combat Training). I was at a special school for DACT and had to fight a replica of the Mig-28, the small little bastards had a great turn radius and were hard to see, but I knew we would get the best of them. As we merged, I went up, he went down (sts) and now I had a vertical fight on my hands. I did a split S at the top of the fight, switched to guns (too close for missiles), and tried to hit him with some 20 mike mike (20 MM), and dammit, missed. Uncaged a AIM-9X on his ass and fired, that thing does not miss. Best part of the story was when he pooped himself when I called my FOX-2 (no really, he soiled his flight suit), he couldn't believe it!! Thanks for asking, please mods, let him respond before anyone else, I think this is the best story ever!

RPA Crossflow Results
Sorry bro, I think there is some MPF people that don't know their job and some pilots that need to study the reg's a bit more, know the reg's, know your options. I'm not saying that is the way it should be, but that is the way it is. Good luck to the people with complaints at the IG, hopefully they can pin it on the MPF.

RPA Crossflow Results
Easy grasshopper, who told them they could not 7-day opt? Their commander? You can 7-day opt ANYTHING that takes you after your UPT commitment, trust me on this one. If a commander tells you that you cannot 7-day opt, do it on the RIP, then go to AF portal and do it through the separations module, that second part is the key, CC can do nothing about it. I just saw a dude 7-day opt a Whiteman UAS with 2.5 years left on his commitment, it can be done, don't believe CC's that tell you no.

Officer Separations
Took my separation survey today, they asked a lot of pretty good questions compared to some other AF surveys (climate assessment), but me and some of my bro's who are separating ended with this: "www.baseops.net check the forums." Maybe big blue will be watching and learning.

Bin Laden dead!
What LJDRVR said, was wondering why we went FPCON BRAVO at 1100 today (TX time). Scared of the retribution, a smart man would realize they expected this and had a plan.

Air Force Reinstate Captain Selection Boards
"Takes him 2 hours to watch 60 minutes." Now that is funny...maybe I'm easily entertained.

Fighter Assignments page
Thats actually a good point and the old porch page proved that, maybe I'm getting too grumpy.

Fighter Assignments page
Doesn't matter dude, your ADP is a bit of a pipe dream. Are you a patch/wing exec/school select? If not, welcome to Korea (at best) or RPA (at worst), maybe a T-6 at Laughlin on the in between, state we live in these days.

Air Force: Pilot yields wings after low flyover
I agree with the above, but the dude knowingly broke the rules, I have no sympathy for that. If it was a mistake, then I'd be a bit more hesitant about wielding the hammer.

Air Force: Pilot yields wings after low flyover
Not close to retirement, 1999 or 2000 commissioner. Not the most XXXXXXXXXXXX in the squadron, it's a fact jack.

Air Force: Pilot yields wings after low flyover
The T-38C MDP told on em as well. And where did that damn thread go of all the videos? Some mod deleted that Enron style.
