  1. Women, cars, and booze.

    And then waste the rest.

    I just can't make this "deal" compute in my mind. $225,000 minus taxes in exchange for 10 more years... Your wife could get a job waiting tables part time and make more money than that. I guess it's a good deal if you were staying in anyway. If this was the reason you decided to stay, I suggest you rethink your objectives.

  2. I've heard a few O-6's say that the time is starting where we have to do less with less now, and it's a challenge.

    Being lazy is easy when there's no work to do. It's not some magical O-6 revelation that we'll have to do less work when there's less money, less jets, less people, and less deployments. I bet some of those profits make General with foresight like that.

  3. Holy shit, they just showed a picture a passenger took. There were fuckers carrying their bags. If I am getting out of an aircraft that just crashed and you grab your bag, you are getting throat punched.

    This is actually a very common response after a crash. Under new, and extremely high stress situations, people tend to revert to something they know - i.e. get your bags and get off the plane. It's also why every professional interviewed after an incident says they "just fell back on their training." That type of irrational behavior has been documented at nearly every major crash with survivors. It's interesting if you care anything about psychology.

  4. B...b...b...but he's got a DFC! He has air medals! How can you dare speak ill of him when he's such a bastion of freedom and warrior ethos?!?!?

    Is it this guy? http://projects.militarytimes.com/citations-medals-awards/recipient.php?recipientid=43254 Caveat: I do not know PYB or the guy listed in this DFC citation. Information was found by a simple Google search. I don't know if they are the same person.
