...and "AMX" is still shown twice without the box down. Just sayin'. Little thing looks fun to fly though.

Wow man. A rediculously long description of the AMX was written on the same damn page.

Daytona Beach, North Pole, Daytona Beach, North Pole.....right.

Sounds like there were unconscious. All bets off when unpressurized above the Armstrong line.

Ditto. Lots of great reasons to come here, some not so great reasons (price being #1). I went to fly, and I'd argue the Aeronautical Science program can't be beat. The professors are outstanding, and their emphasis on safe flight operations and crew resource management were excellent. However, would I still be flying in the Air Force if I had gone somewhere cheaper and majored in poli sci, without $80,000 in debt? Probably. So its your call.

You're assuming it doesn't happen very often. Not everyone wants to get caught doing it...

I wore BDU's in the field, because I went in November and the temps were something like 14 at night. I'd recommend it. "2" on the headlamp. Get something powerful, it will be a big help.

You're kidding, right?

Because clearly, getting rid of parachutes take priority over getting rid of Smart boards and plasma screens.

That's not a well-informed decision either. A C-130 nav who hates his job has personal issues he/she needs to get over. I'm a C-130 nav, and I absolutely love what I'm doing. Yes, I put in for a pilot slot in ROTC, but didn't get one. Yes, I tried to go special ops from Randolph, but didn't get it. Oh well...this job kicks ass, the crews are great, the locations "can" be great too, and people who say otherwise are just bitter at life. And you're a cadet still, so I would highly recommend keeping your pie hole shut about real world things you know absolutely dick about.

One more vote for Crossfit. I just started doing it not too long ago, looks like a great program.

I'm glad this thread keeps popping up from time to time. Makes ripping on BC pretty easy.

Give me a f'ing break. Way to go, AFA. The more I learn about the academy, the more of a joke I think it is.

I'm a fan of our heritage patch.

:beer:

I was in the DFW USO this morning...my second time stopping by, always great! They've always got a movie going with comfortable chairs, sleeping area, lots of computers and wireless, a guitar you can play, tons of free food/drinks, and grade A service.

I don't think there's any way that the second half of the SERE acronym can possibly be taught effectively (or securely!) through a damned CBT. If you want to call it survival and evasion training, sure call it that, but don't do mis-justice to the SERE career fields and everyone of us that went through the real deal.

I'll be back at Randolph in a couple weeks with my bike, I'll definitely be looking for a breakfast run!

First off, its queer that they're making you have them for an orientation ride. But, it actually goes: Last name First name, middle initial SSN and service Blood type Religion I'm a fresh Herk nav- they harp on the dog tags thing at Randolph and not quite as much at the Rock.

Sweet, it'd be a cool tool to have around the house. Not sure if I'd want the 8gig of memory space needed for all the satellite imagery though.

One car doesn't even stop...what an asshole.

I don't think any story has topped Rainman's post in this thread (Put a direct link in for ya! Cheers! M2)

What are you guys talking about? You should be cheering him on! He's trying to make the point hit home that way too many of us are flying airframes from the pre-Vietnam era. Its unfortunate that flyers will have to start dying to get any real attention paid to this issue.

Looks like a great program. We won't be able to get eye-witness accounts for much longer.

My sock ends a full 4 inches below the top of the boot, how the f*** do you check something like that? "Sir, please remove your boots. I have to check the color of your socks before you can eat a meal." Jesus Christ...I REALLY don't see why the answer can't be a simple "No, Sergeant," end of story. WTF is next? Mandating a type of underwear? And why doesn't the senior leadership have the brass to stop the nonsense?
