Shooting womp rats for fun?

And then airmen started calling each other "sir"...

True

Well, at least there were midgets. When there are midgets, everything else evens out.

LEPs for all 121 ops?

14 checkrides (including several 141 stage checks) I have never had a DPE endorse my logbook, with the exception of documenting the stage checks, not license or certificate issuance. Handing me a temporary was the routine. Or, more to the point: WTF are you talking about?

$75 to American Flyers in 2002. Renewal #6 just completed.

That's assuming that the stop loss'd individuals are in ops squadrons. What if they are ALO's, white jet IPs, staff, drones? Even if in a flying billet, there's plenty of busy work that can be given to the seagulls, even if you don't want to deal with the hassle of administrative discipline when that work doesn't necessarily get done. I have been one of the most vocal nay-sayers of stop loss on this forum. I think it would take "full-retard" to a whole new level. But at some point, even I concede that it could be a blunt force tool used to make the numbers look better...and little else.

This. Senator, these are not the droids you are looking for.

FWIW, I've rolled over several of the Frau's 401k's, and it always took two to three months. They were all various state retirement systems, beurocratic BS nightmares (we need you to mail the paperwork so we can sign it and mail it up to the state HQ, NO you cannot be all 21st century and scan and email!) so the TSP experience sounds similar.

You still have a dog? Those are tasty.

Morpheus was right: he is the ONE.

Until his return, let's reflect on some of his flight planning wisdom. RE: the Tampa A/O

Yes, here was a bit of a dust up when the AM was introduced. . What I wonder, is if back then were the people actually in line for this award thinking "WTF?", like they are now.

It's ok. Like the West Wing, it's slanted to the left, but not as flamboyantly (those evil Republicans are still the villians). Other than that, well written and entertaining.

Searched AF Times. Nothin. Sounds sketchy.

So much potential. Hopefully, this project meets the expectations of this team's previous accomplishments. So much potential for fail. I still think that Red Tails was a cleverly disguised hate crime.

MWR used to operate a recreational range on Camp Foster when I was stationed on Okinawa. Had a ton of rentals from a MkII to a .44. Between that and the scuba diving, that assignment rocked.

Wow. That gentleman is a picture of restraint. Were I made the same deal in the same situation, my reply would be along the lines of an old Richard Pryor joke: "well, that's an ass whooping I gotta take".

This is almost non-news. Its been almost 10 years but... Most units I was in (it was left to the unit-level leadership, who often delegated it down to the shop) had a policy of service uniforms on Fridays. For us, it became the day when the shop would go to lunch out in town together, as the Corps was draconian on it's policy of any untility uniform worn off base.

Never go full retard...

11.7kfps roughly equivalent to 117kts in the vertical.

I've also heard said Amn referred to as the SA-21. (IE: about 21 years old with a disastrously high Pk)

I didn't see the amount option (haven't been there since they added the Roth option. Max check option: SHACK!
