Strike Eagles and BFM/ACM
I thought he said I "bone" for shows of force only. B-1? Smokin dude, the whole post was facetious. The jets are built to do different things, and if a thread is started with "all E model dudes are gay" or whatever the # 2 and 3 posts were trying to accomplish, do you think you're going to get a serious discussion?

Strike Eagles and BFM/ACM
Now lazlo, what you've done is fight a fighting falcon driver's fight. You've given him time to realize he's doing DACT and download his pods and externals. The trick to Strike Eagle vs. falcon is call them about a day before and force them to fight with a standardish combat loadout. Just as we've seen young brabus do, they're very hesitant to poke their nose into a fight without a more experienced lead. Just ask them about relative targeting JDAM's, PW3, or yo-yo ops as Crate mentioned. Or, if you're going to stoop to the level of talking about dropping a deuce in the jet, ask them who they know has done it on a combat sortie and still killed a few hadji that night. Not the highlight of their career, but roll calls have called out a few in the E model. But yes, they can pull 9 G's. And then they'll walk over as they're doing CAS spinups and ask you no shit how to employ.

Leadership at the 'Deid
With all due respect, I think you're comparing apples to oranges. When is it ok for an NCO to physically rip a tray out of a commissioned officer's hands? If you're familiar with the case, what was done to "correct the behavior" of the NCO?

Is everything a "Weapons System?"
And that synergism was a force multiplier of equitable benefit to all of us. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Heinous CGOC E-mails
I've got to hope it was an attempt at humor. Having said that, I think the LPA not flying on Friday needs to take this upon themselves (sts) to be there, as drunk as possible and heckle away.

Traditions when leaving a squadron
The only patches I've seen flipped were guys who have died. Everybody else just leaves a patch behind.

Lackland Buffoonery
Not a FT story but similar, and speaking of 341's, it's valid. While at OTS, one of the trainees leading a formation didn't salute a 3 star, and the MTI's reaction was priceless. "What the ###### were you thinking trainee, were you blinded by the stars on his hat?" Back to the thread.

Pirate Boomtown - thoughts?
25-30 yards according to the article. But yes, BMF's, no doubt.

Nice. STFU, stand up. Tell us about yourself.

Old Guy Rant
Damn it Toro, why not let the guy stand up and tell us about himself? He's obviously a warrior in the most modern Air Force sense of the word. You could learn something from him, he's in the shit RIGHT NOW.

Pensacola NAMI Screening (already have FC1/MFS)
That sounds about right. I left P'cola in 07, but I'm sure things haven't changed much if at all. The AF has pretty much signed off on you, you just need to get into the navy's system. As Monte said, expect to have a physical every year during your birth month with them just like the AF. I don't remember anyone having any trouble during the navy physicals if that helps any. Go to McGuire's, and enjoy the area.

Like the man said, the bottom line is Ctrl D. Which reminds me: Chuck Norris' keyboard doesn't have a Ctrl button. He's always in control.

SERE/Land survival info
Pretty sure this has been talked about before, so you might get shacked for not reading around... Having said that, we were briefed that if you wore contacts in the field, you'd be recycled/sent home. Trust me, you don't want to dick with contacts at SERE. I was glad I didn't wear mine and they even took the glasses off of my face before the "counseling" sessions. Contacts for academics were ok. Just have a glasses strap before you get there. All they had were the old-school style, and the croakies were much more comfortable. Have fun up there. Rent a car and get to Spokane when you're able, it's a good time.

Keep me in the loop too. Makers is some good stuff.

While I do think their bitch is utter bullshit, I don't want to ever hear a Yoko Ono song again after Fairchild.

Gun Talk
In Lousiana, it's perfectly legal to give a pistol as a gift as long as the individual can own one. Father in Law's got an FFL and we're originally from Monroe. There are some pretty good little gun shops in Shreveport if the MX doesn't work out

Who wants a T-38?
I agreed until that. Keep your comments to things you know about, I'm not too sure how much damage you think the Hogs and Strike Eagles are doing. Do you have a vault at Whiting?

Dogfights of The Future
WTFO? How does this work? If they "locked up" it would imply targeting based upon a certain RCS. But if you've got some majic way to explain not firing a missle expanding RCS I'd be willing to hear it.

Shaw pilot charged with battery/intent to kill for pushing someone at a bar!
Oh, you mean like: because yeah, the dude needed to at the very least be shoved, hit, or assaulted. If you feel differently, I must in all respect ask if you have said wife or daughter.

Info on OTS (Officer Training School)
I remember they told us we couldn't, but things might have changed. www.airforceots.com would be a better place to ask.

Marriage and AF entitlements
I'm a WSO, so I didn't do IFS. However, I did OTS, and hindsight being 20/20, I would put her in with the folks while you're at IFS and wait to start the married life thing/get everything worked out at the UPT base. We used the USAA Cadet loan or whatever, and got my wife a place to live for the 3 months and change I was at OTS. Huge waste of effort, stress, and money. In the long run, 6 weeks with the parents aren't going to hurt and the support/time spent right before you guys PCS will be nice. If you have movers come get your crap, she'll have someone there to help (the more the better, esp on the 1st one). Her time spent working whatever job could probably be better spent making connections for a more stable one wherever you're going to UPT. 2. Consolidation/deferment options can be your friend, but be smart. Bottom line man, don't stress out about it. Sounds easy for me to say, but running your ass off trying to get paid, her find a job, a house, etc. all a MONTH OR 2 away from a PCS is tough, and some would say dumb. Keep it as simple as you can right now; your professional life is about to get compicated and home is the last place you want strife.
