  1. Rainman, got your pm and gotta decline your invite to that "adult party" tonight....I'm all tied up
  2. Did somebody get hit by a moose while walking to the class six?
  3. Most will include an engine reserve fee that they charge themelves per hr. $10 per hr is an easy number for a 20k overhaul after 2000 hrs. Usaa partners with falcon for aviation insurance and pilot bank does loans if you're interested.
  4. I heard there is a Tweetapalooza going down at DM tomorrow night and UPT will resume NLT Tues 20 Sept via T-37's. Any truth to that?
  5. I'm AMC as well so also curious. Thanks guys.
  6. Since knowing your audience is so important when communicating, can you help answer that question WRT the ADP comments section? Who has eyes on, other than the sq/cc? Just seems like listing quals could be viewed as arrogant if read by a 20 yr senior leader.
  7. Any suggestions for the comments section? I've heard advice from an AFSOC O-6 that said to keep it "short, humble, and needs of the AF based". Does that check in other commands?
  8. Normal ops in the past was 24/7....now they're closed for training as BFM pointed out.
  9. Almost spit my coffee out on the HWS line--that is funny! And what's so significant about 1937 WRT USAF? Way to set the example for your troops Chief. How can I expect you to lead if you don't know the history of my Air Force or just plain suck at math?
  10. Great read in the Small Wars Journal on his experiences in Haiti. It was pretty incredible hearing how they mastered the chaos and saved countless lives. Haiti: Boots on the Ground Perspective by Col Buck Elton 355-elton.pdf
  11. Use your .mil email and sign up for promotive. It unlocks huge discounts to over 140 brands including Suunto, NB, SOG, Costa, and others. For example, Suunto watches are only 12% above wholesale. http://www.promotive.com/usairforce
  12. Things are improving at the Deid, as evidenced by the 4 month gap in posts here. As soon as the new AUAB supp comes out, reflective belts will no longer be required in PT's as long as the shorts and shirt have reflective material and you are not running on a public road. Should we make facebook groups for every idiotic policy they try to enforce here or AF wide? The antenna destruction was pure BS. That's no way to treat another airman. If those punks were going to sabotage anyone, why not spend their time disrupting the WoW mafia who sucks down the bandwidth? Leave the everyday Joe, who is skyping home to his wife, alone.
  13. Ya, how about a little respect for the retirees who have paved the way for us. Not sure what the hang up is, but the commissary is a great deal. The BX....not so much.
  14. Are you serious right now? Arthritic old farts?
  15. Right on brother. We're officers for a reason. "Challenge assumptions, improve processes, identify gaps, fix problems"
  16. Can't go wrong with a bonanza! Does it need to be 6 seats? I know of a real nice 4 seater V tail, F-35 with 225hp motor that will be for sale shortly. I think he's looking for $50K or less.
  17. Truly incredible. Thanks for sharing and cheers to everyone who helped save our guys and crush the enemy. "When a Chinook carrying the special operators arrived, the firefight flared again. An AC-130 soon arrived. The ground troops placed infrared strobes, and the Spooky pounded the northern ridgeline with its 105mm cannons." "That's when we felt the tides were turning," McCaffrey said. "It was like, holy crap, we're going to make it through this."
  18. How much are you looking to sell for and can you do aerobatics in your plane? What are you looking at buying next?
  19. She's hot because you can't have her
  20. I'm glad they got a chance to do this and think it's something they'll never forget. I just wish the media wouldn't sensationalize these "All Female XXX" stories. I get more satisfaction out of my accomplishments from within than on the front page of some news story.
  21. It's almost like you have experience with this or something.
  22. Nice looking plane Evil. I'm jealous of your commute!
