...and at least neither of the two are AWACS (just kidding to all my Sentry friends...)

Back to the whole "Herk guys are last in their class" bs, VN 09-13 drop went: #1 guy: 44 #2 guy: 38 #3 guy: 38 #4 guy: 44 #5 guy: 44 So it's fairly absurd to say (at least nowadays) that 130 pilots are the sh!tbags of their class. ...not that I'm biased or anything

VN 09-13 Drop: 2 T-38s 4 T-44s (me!) 3 UH-1s 9 T-1s As far as navy/marines go, 2 T-44s, 3 helos And one Italian T-38

As far as getting your nursing degree, I would do whatever makes you happy. Big Blue wanted me to be a computer science major. I hate math, so I picked criminal justice. I was told it would hurt my pilot chances, but it ended up not mattering (mainly because it's bs). Do what will make you happy. If you take the AF out of the equation, ask yourself if you would still be happy working with your history degree. If so, then do it. But if you really want to get your nursing degree, then by all means, do it.

I guess it would sound more like BS to people if LM posted their name all over it. Although the way they describe it leaves little doubt about who created it.

I saw that too. I wish you could see who is running the website.

I actually live right up against the tracks. It's not too bad. Mainly because there aren't any railroad crossings near base housing where the train has to blow it's horn (sts). We bought a fan for our bedroom to have on during the night to provide some "white noise", and we don't even notice when they pass at night. Not to mention, even if you live away from the tracks, you will end up right underneath a loudspeaker and will get to hear reveille, retreat, and taps every day.

I was spotter in the RSU one day. We had only 1 aircraft in the pattern, an initial solo Saudi student. We has making his way around the pattern for the first time and hits initial. SAUDI: "Small XX, Initial" 10 sec later SAUDI: "SMALL XX, INITIAL" obviously, no response, so another 10 sec later SAUDI: In a very angry voice "I SAID, SMALL XX, INITIAL!" RSU Controller: "ROGER SMALL 31, go ahead and make this a full stop." On departure from Memphis in a T-6: Departure: "Rattr XX, I'm going to need you to expedite your climb for traffic, continue current climb rate and accelerate to 250" Us: "Uh, unable to get 250" Departure: "How fast can you get at current climb rate?" Us: "160" Departure: "**Sigh**"

Whew, thanks for clearing that up, I couldn't tell if were were talking about 22s, or that shitty ILS I shot the other day.

Thanks for the help, it would figure that I have sprint though...

A friend asked me a good question today that I didn't know the answer to. If you PCS to another part of the country and your cell phone doesn't have service there, do cell phone companies let you out of your contract? I figured this has had to happen to someone before. I would think they wouldn't, but I thought I would ask.

Before I bought my truck, I went through a Jeep phase where I was looking to get one. I agree with just about everything everyone else has said. In the last couple of years, the hardtops have come a long way. I test drove one on the interstate and could tell a difference in how loud it got. Obviously, make sure you carfax it (especially because of possible water damage). Good luck with it. (BTW, I know a guy who just bought an 07 jeep, and it has power windows, and power locks, I couldn't believe it!)

At Det 172, Valdosta State, I'd say in the 4 years ive been here, about 90% of rated guys are Arnies. However, that has more to do with higher commanders rankings than being a member (which has no bearing whatsoever). On the other hand, being in AAS is just another activity that the PAS can look at when determining commanders rankings.

It really does depend on your det. At my det, we don't get BDUs till about March of our AS200 year, unless you go on a PDT the year before.

Don't worry about it goose. Just stay out of trouble and don't let your gpa slip. Hopefully we'll both get slots, and I'll see you at UPT in a couple years.
