New OPR Forms and Standards
Different is not always better. I wish people would see that.

Required
Save it for later. Using the Go-Pro to make videos of you mowing the lawn or pouring drinks for people in your dorm room would be about as exciting as what you'd be getting on film in the cockpit. Just get through UPT. Just get through UPT, broceidon.

Last Beer You Drank and Rate It
Left Hand Wake Up Dead Imperial Stout. Long name for a good beer. Thick, strong, dark as coffee.

Minot Huey Emergency Landing
They're helicopters, so yes. Seriously.

AF Light Air Support Aircraft
I'd fly it

Pilot watches
One of the guys in my element had one of those in the field at SERE. It was pretty swanky. Got a fix fast, kept a charge all week, and it was pretty tough.

FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
Leaner force...I've heard that since I was a freshman in 07. There is point where leaner turns into anorexic. Seems we are approaching it.

Academy informant program
Soooo glad I didn't go to the Academy. Though ERAU had it's own little eccentricities. About the article: I can't believe this crap happens... Its just illustrates the caliber of individual allowed in positions these days I suppose, though I don't have much experience in the CAF yet

North Korea at it again
Oops. My selective article skimming didn't come across that nugget. pip pip

North Korea at it again
Yup. I'm pretty sure that the family and the news inadvertently screwed to pooch on that one. It's always the media. And Vice has a lot of awesome documentaries like that. The DPRK one is probably one of the best.

North Korea at it again
First thing, why would you ever want to go to North Korea? It's not some quaint midcentury communist amusement park. Second thing, that poor guy is probably going through hell on Earth, made even worse by surviving that hellish war only to be captured by them some 60 years later.

I picked a peach of a time to get into this community. On a not so sarcastic note no where else to go from here but up...right?

Last Beer You Drank and Rate It
Had a Third Shift Amber Lager. Its made by Coors, but it was not bad. The Class 6 on post here had it. It's around the same price as Shiner. It was not bad for a macro lager.

Radio etiquette
The Army, using A/A freqs around RTs and at refuel like a CB radio. Armybro1:"###, taking off 240, right closed" Armybro2:"Oh hey ###! Its YYY, glad to hear youre flying again, hows the old lady?" Armybro1: "oh just fine, fine. Say, hows the (insert what the fvck ever)?" All the while we are turning base to final at the RT and by the time they're done yacking long enough to key the mic I'm already on the ground behind them.

Gun Talk
I haven't been following the market as close as a lot of people. It stuck out as a less crappy deal that what's been the norm. I have almost that same PSA upper but with a 1:8 twist barrel on a Delaware Machine and Tool lower. It was a budget build at the time, but it's never let me down. I probably don't shoot well enough or far enough to tell the difference between it and a Colt so anything nicer and you may as well be casting pearls before swine. edit:spellings

Boston Marathon Bombing
Possible suspect in custody and a Saudi national is being held in a local hospital while being treated for shrapnel wounds. Not sure if its the same person. One device was under the grand stands, but failed to detonate. Possibly one device at the Mandarin Hotel.
