So then explain everything to Mexican kids in "beans and rice". Oh wait, that'd be racist too. We better just not talk about food at all.

Just glossing over the fact that he didn't even land at the closest incorrect airport, he made approximately 68 errors in his description and read backs. I hope the CVR tapes get released. This is an excellent case study of CRM and loss of SA.

Students usually forget about the back seat G-meter.

This whole discussion is going to lead to rape. I just know it.

Yes, on the same sortie, she also attempted a turning rejoin with about 69 kts of excess closure and when directed to overshoot (twice), her response was to start a 1 ft/sec climb into lead. After those two events, several IP called KIOs, and severe quibbling, I cleared my wingman off and we flew home solo (the only time I've ever done that). I didn't want to be near another airplane with her any more. The flying bought her a hook, the quibbling bought her Mil Cap. She's now flying KC-135s so think about that next time you're in formation taking gas... edit: the PTSD makes me a poor speller

Before I learned about "defensive posturing" as a FAIP, I saw some things that make you re-evaluate life. The primary of which being when my student had #2 in fingertip, gave the pitch out signal and then abruptly turned into her wingman. I'm just glad that #2 was sloppy and held a consistently aft position... From that moment on, my hand was always on the side of the stick that presented danger.

If you have kids, just put them in a stroller. You qualify to go through the wheelchair/stroller line which usually only has a handful of people. Plus, the stroller can be gate checked for free regardless of number of carryon items.

I wish I knew about these places earlier into my 8-week stay. Uncle Micks Cajun Market Filet and Vine

I see this devolving into dead baby jokes.

First Rule: Don't hit lead. Everything else is debriefable.

A card table with a 8.5" x 11" piece of paper on it. "Pride Month 2014" with a rainbow printed on the paper. Set it up at the entrance to the BX. Boom, done...

That's not just a great OPR bullet... it's a fabulous OPR bullet.

I stopped wearing my wedding ring when I welded my hand between a car's battery terminal and frame. So many adventures while working a college job at Jiffy Lube...

Some times you can just tell 'who' a person is by their picture. He looks like a douche.

Probably wore black socks to a PT test. edit: Sarcastic response typed too fast with too little critical thought...

I'm not flying, but I still get to sit 2-3 SOF tours a week. That's F'd up.

At the rate America is going, I may have to join Texas as well.

I'm sure Trident will offer grants to everyone because they care about education and not the bottom line.

The prior time guys usually are pretty good, but it's true, some do suck. I know a few that (former reg. jet pilot) that scared me every time I flew with her. Another that was a CFII and was as sharp as a bowling ball. I will say though that in general, previous instrument flying skills obviously gave an advantage during the instrument portion, it also helped make a smoother lead platform during the formation phase. However, I wouldn't suggest going and shelling out the thousands of dollars to get your Instrument endorsment. Credentials: FAIP, (cue hate the FAIP song)

Has anyone done the 2&2 deal? How does one go about doing that?

This is my big problem with the SARC program. I'm not saying we should blame the victims, but maybe a little education about risk vs. reward of specific situations may help. All we do now is wait for it to happen and then swoop in and give hugs... Example: One single female goes out to drink with a man she doesn't know all alone. She leaves her drink unattended and consumes enough to make her stumbling drunk. Legal? Sure Should she have the right to not be raped? Absolutely Is this a setup to a compromising situation? You know it We can't say this though because someone might take it as victim blaming. It's not. It's similar to why I wear a seatbelt. I should be able to assume that I won't get t-boned by some texting teenager, but I know the possibility is out there and high enough for me to warrant a safety restraint.
