  1. I too, disagree with the latter point, it was meant as sarcasm. [humor]Only a douchebag could have missed it. [/humor] However, I do believe active duty is coming for ARC iron, I see the push every day. The “operational reserves” is the new norm, and it comes at the expense of the strategic reserve. TFI units are the future and the ARC assets will be used up at an active duty pace. The Air Force needs new toys, and the ARC has them. I hope we can recap the active force without destroying our strategic reserve.
  2. It will probably happen. I guess there's no more need for a strategic reserve.
  3. We all make our career choices.
  4. Gay. (I couldn't resist.)
  5. I had to knock the rust off my Bender-decoder-ring.
  6. If I was a ninja commander, I would fire any one of my silent assassins that even joked around about topless female ninjas. That is a total douchebag remark.

    It's only going to get worse. The deep cuts are coming.
  8. Do Buffs often carry passengers and have a requirement to carry concealed?

    I won't say that that stuff is junk, but I've had better luck with Remington Gold or Remington Thunderbolts. The boxes of loose ammo or the buckets seem to have more feeding problems, I've had them bend on me too. Got to love .22's. As far a the range problems, luckily my buddy has a farm with some plinking targets, so when I take the kid, there are no other morons around to try and kill us. Great way to spend a few hours.
  10. So is the AC-130J going to be a stretch or a stubby? 15 ft more fuselage means more guns.
  11. slacker replied to VL-16's topic in Squadron Bar
    What kind of ammo were you shooting?
  12. I didn't know my jokes required a rainman sign off to make them actual humor. Should I start running all attempts at humor through you first? How 'bout all future jokes/ sarcastic remarks from me on this board will come with the implied disclaimer that it hasn't been pre-approved by rainman and he may/may not find it funny? Here's some news for you: Joking about checkrides on an internet forum and administering one in real life are a little different. Maybe they were one and the same back in "your day." But nowadays, folks actually kid around sometimes on the internets. If you think that I'd actually Q2 someone for a vintage Playboy, you're a little dense. I'm not sure how you've made me into the SEFE we all know and hate. I haven't / don't hold the hook joke over evaluee's heads during before/during/after an evaluation. I'm sure you'll call "Bullshit," and that's fine. Your approval is nothing I need or seek. I still think that the Playboy remark is sage advice, if you're going to bring reading material on a checkride, make sure it's current and not back from "rainman's day." If your next reply is going to be something like - "Bullshit douchebag," do me a favor and save the bandwidth.
  13. NO SENSE OF HUMOR ALERT Humor, look into it.
  14. so what did you buy?
  15. Hey, M2 is kinda old, cut him some slack. Sometime he forgets in mid sentence what he typed at the begining.
  16. slacker replied to a post in a topic in Squadron Bar
    Why? Will the internet cops come?
  17. slacker replied to a post in a topic in Squadron Bar
    Internet polls, not worth the bandwidth.
  18. Standard baseops rule- a claim of hotness must be substantiated immediately with a picture, preferable in bikini. So in this contest, smaller is better?
  19. slacker replied to a post in a topic in General Discussion
    They have the internet in Canada now? Who knew?
  20. You can't bring her up without posting a pic. Some mod please increase zrooster's warn.

    First let me say, thanks for all you guys do to keep this a great site. Now for the bitching- Can we lock the polls on threads after 30 days or some appropriate time so they don't get bumped to the top everytime someone votes?
  22. I have a similar story to rainman’s where I dropped the f-bomb in a heated situation. I sent a LT to Sam’s to stock the snackbar. When I came in from flying, I went to check his work. He bought fruit cups! The very same fruit cups that no one eats from the box lunches. There are enough discarded fruit cups in the mission planning room to feed a small nation and this moron buys more. People won’t eat them when they’re free and now he’s charging $.50 a piece. What a fucking douche. Debrief was harsh and ladened with F-bombs. I think he cried.
  23. RON at St Johns and enjoy.
  24. slacker replied to skinny's topic in Squadron Bar
    That's a real gem. Think what that thing would be worth today. To stop a runaway Prius- choke the hamster.
  25. slacker replied to skinny's topic in Squadron Bar
    My first thought is Sikes is lying. He was either mad because Toyota told him his Prius was fine or he planned it all along. It's just a little over the top that Ponch for CHiPs would have to help bring his car to a stop. Not buying it. 2 to everything M2 said earlier. edit to add- Yes, I know Ponch was a Motorcycle cop. But I didn't think anyone would get the reference if I said "Officer Bonnie Clark."
