Let's bitch about the BX here!
Twice a month? I just go until I get called out by someone of higher rank twice and then I cut it to a #2 length. I usually get a good 4 weeks out of a haircut.

Classic Thread - Security Forces (SFS) Tales
Another reason to spend as little time on-base as possible. It's not worth the risk doing whatever it is you want to do if it's possible in a civilian setting.

CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) info
If you don't have a single engine instructor Form 8, you'll get ONLY and MEI. You will be able to instruct in a Cessna 410, but not a 172 as moronic as that sounds.

CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) info
For the CFII, the FSDO wanted to see my test score sheet, a Form 8 that says I was an instructor in something That was pretty easy. For the type rating, they wanted a Form 8 and an ARMS printout showing PIC time. We don't log PIC time so I have to convince him that Primary time was the 'same'. Every FSDO is different though. The process isn't spelled out anywhere and they don't do this often. Just print off every document you can find with your name on it saying you are a pilot. I had FEFs, 1522s, the forms you get when you graduate IQT, ARMS printouts, etc. The more, the better.

WTF? (**NSFW**)
No, but I bet a guy looking through smudged safety glasses with sawdust and the mid-day sun in his eyes probably does. Honestly are you debating if the tattoo looks like a real gun or not? What psychological depth perception cue tells you the difference between a 2D image and a 3D object that's only about an inch thick from 20 yards away? Answer, none. I'm not saying the guy was doing anything outside his rights or that the cops reaction was necessary. I'm saying a stupid decision was made and he got a stupid consequence.

WTF? (**NSFW**)
If a Muslim man walks into an airport with 8" long PVC pipes painted orange and duct taped to a back pack, shouldn't he expect similar results? Seriously though, tattoo a gun tucked into the waist of your pants and walk outside without a shirt on while angry. What's the best possible outcome of this?

Information on PCS/moves/moving (DITY, TMO, DLA, storage)
Question about Enroute TDYs with Dependents... - What kind of mileage will I get reimbursed? The TDY rate or PCS rate? What about my wife's second car? - How do I work my 5000 pound PCS PDITY in with my 600 pound allowance for the TDY? It's all going to be in the same trailer. How many weight tickets will I need? - The stuff I'm not using for my TDY, I'm leaving in my trailer for 3 months. Can I put the trailer and everything in a storage yard, call it Storage In Transit (SIT) and be reimbursed for it?

hmm, after seeing that list, I can't wait for my next anthrax vaccine.- Return of Friday shirts / patches
It's been a month, and we're still waiting on approval to wear a t-shirt with...OMG...color on it. How is it seriously this big of deal that the CSAF says, "go for it" and the Wg/King still won't let the squadrons do it. - Knock it off with them negative waves Moriarty.
