Agreed. As for the day it came out, that is what drove my 'entertaining' comment. Though I would have still enjoyed it any day of the year.

Just curious...how many times have you made these fantastic corrections (I'm recalling quite a few)? Does this mistake in particular really bother you that much or are you now BO's spell checker?

I'm no theologian (though I did stay in a Holiday-Inn Express last night), but 2 out of the 4 religions you mentioned are montheistic, and one of the other two does have only one 'Supreme God'. So when I hear a chaplain say 'God' does that mean they are automatically only referring to the God that Christians worship? Or is it just implied based off the faith of the Chaplain (which is usually Christian)? In all my years in the military, I don't specifically recall ever hearing the words 'Jesus' or 'Christ' in a military prayer (I'm sure it has happened, but if I can't remember it then it must not happen too often). To be fair though, I do hear Chaplains say 'Father' in their prayers, but Christians aren't the only ones worshipping a single God that use this term. So is your concern only with Christian Chaplains invoking a prayer before an official event...or is it with any Chaplain, regardless of religion, saying a prayer? I have already agreed that I don't think Chaplain duty should be used at these events, so I'm not disagreeing with the overall point people are making. Just to stir the pot even more, I think promoting 'X' heritage/history month also promotes inequality in the force, but I seriously doubt those are going away anytime soon. Edited because I can't properly count, and I'm just an overall idiot.

This is short, informative (not that I fact checked it), and entertaining...

I'm cool with one's personal religion/philosophy being discussed at personal events...like a promotion ceremony or a retirement. But that's about it. I agree on it being weird (and I'm a Christian) that people are invited to pray at an official ceremony that is inclusive (awards dinner, change of command). Didn't they also recently take out the 'So help me God' portion of the oath if the member chose not to say it? (I'm too lazy to look it up)...either way, I'm cool with that too. Here's a question for debate: Guest speaker at an awards ceremony, class graduation, etc--should the invited speaker be able to mention his/her personal faith? For example, if they say "Back when I was at X school and struggling, I was able to find that praying Y prayer helped me remain calm and focused..."

This was definitely worth my time and believe it will be worth their time as well. Well done, sir. Thank you!

AFPC

Article is almost 13 years old...just sayin'

I have a feeling that you struggle with your depth perception portion of your eye exam.

No. It's a tattoo.

I think you are trying to say that you have an ADSC that will be completed before most other pilots in your same year group. Everyone receives the same 10 year ADSC for UPT...yours wouldn't the shorter or longer.

No. All about personal preference. That being said, Oban 14yr, Macallan and Balvenie 15yr are excellent options IMHO. Raise your cap above $100 and the options become even more glorious.

All this time I had no clue that I could be potentially driving women to suicide from all the orgasms I give them. From now on I think I'll focus more on myself, just to be safe.

Agreed.

Agree to a certain extent. Here's why: Big Blue (which gives the final nod for the bonus, not AFPC in a bubble) might be willing to roll the dice and not offer a bonus this year to certain AFSC's to see how retention fares compared to years past...Big Blue can always decide next year to reverse course and give the bonus out again, and all they lost were the guys who separated this year, which they lose an X percent each year anyway with the bonus (besides, some guys have longer commitments due to GI Bill transfer, TA, new PCS, etc). It all comes down to the bottom line for the folks in DC, hence why the majority of Navs/CSO 's no longer receive a bonus, and likewise, the 11F's got a much better one last year. Is getting rid of the bonus worth losing, say, 3% more than usual? Perhaps. Is it worth losing 15%...probably not. I can argue positions for and against it, but nobody knows exactly what will happen until they actually suspend it. This all being said, I have a feeling the bonus won't change much from last year, and that's what I'm personally hoping to see.

UH-60M = no AR probe MH-60M = AR probe (just one example, which you're obviously aware of...not saying it will have the exact same probe or specifications) I think there will me some more similarities to the MH-60M vs just being similar to a slick UH-60M. I'm pretty sure I know you what meant though.

I know you put your asterisk comment, but just to reiterate, nothing has been awarded as of yet as the Milestone B Decision has to be officially made, which must be done prior to contract award. As for the actual aircraft, the 160th SOAR is already flying MH-60M models...my bet is that it will be similar to that design, just finely tailored for the Air Force and its PR mission. I think we'll know for sure here pretty soon!

...I'm almost sorry I asked. Actually, I am sorry I asked. I didn't think the term 'docs' would be misconstrued for nurses, pharmacists, PA's, etc. Next time, instead of repeating your original word of 'doc', I will specificy "How many M.D.'s and D.O.'s..." Glad we cleared that all up.

What percentage of the AF non-rated officers (to include flight docs) are docs? Besides, don't the docs already get a larger doc pay/bonus? Also, I'm assuming that docs don't even make up half of medical officers...could be wrong though. I'm pretty sure StoleIt was referring to CE's, MX O's, Comm O's, etc...you know, the entire pool of non-rated officers he was referring to. Just busting your balls a little, man. I have heard that from young acquisition O's that the AF does have a tough time in keeping them past their first assignment since they can make a lot more on the outside. Guess it's a good thing, since the young ones are getting ass raped on the force shaping/RIF.

Not exactly answering your question here...but why not just an AK-74, which is the original rifle for the 5.45? Classic Arms has quality Waffen Werks AK-74's for as cheap at $600, and for a little more you can get it with nicer furniture. Also, I've seen Bulgarian polymer mags as cheap as $13-15 for the 74 (they're not Circle 10 quality, but they'll definitely do the job most need them to do). I have a WW 74 and it's a great shooter. Whatever you get, don't forget to rinse out and then clean your rifle right away after shooting the corrosive ammo that you linked.

Thank God you are not a real operator...time is too precious to have to explain jokes and sarcasm.

...or just record the whole thing. Worst (or best?) case is that it keeps you out of jail...if that's never needed, then you get to watch the best porno ever made (well, if you're me anyway).

Forget it, he's rolling...
