*ahem* technically pure H models didn't exist until the '74 productions. Thank you Lance Johnson.

Academy (USAFA) Flying Assignment
Hey all, looking for any updated information that might be out there. A possibility in the near future and not deploying for a while and living in CO is very appealing right now. Thanks.

Saddle up for Syria? Or Op Deny Christmas '13
I thought this video summed up the situation well: https://video.foxnews.com/v/2657047627001/judge-jeanine-another-false-narrative-from-the-white-house/ I will say I didn't care for her tone, conservatives haven't gotten everything right either, but the content is good, IMO.

Pandora / VPN problems for anyone else?
GrooveIP works the same way with Google Voice. It can even integrate with Sprint so when you call through Wifi it pops up as your number. Pretty dang cool. People thought I had cell coverage in my undisclosed sandy location.

Wow...ballsy...and dumb for those military folks to do that. Improper use of the uniform.

DoD "ready" for DADT repeal
I think it was pretty well said after your post, but to reiterate, he didn't come out and say he was against the policy or her endorsement. He was enforcing the lawful regs as far as I can tell, but he (and I) are entitled to our opinions. I don't have to agree with the new DOD policy of same-sex marriage benefits but it is the law and if I'm in a position to affect it, I will make sure that the law is followed. But that's not enough, I have to conform not just outwardly, but inwardly. My thoughts can no longer be my own, only what have been approved and endorsed by the reigning authority or popular public opion. That crosses the line. And it's downright scary.

Disheartening...preach tolerance and acceptance, except for those that disagree. The American dream lives on.

Seriously?

C-5 ICBM drop
Exactly. Less power is needed to maintain drop airspeed as the load lightens so keeping the same power setting will result in increased airspeed.

C-5 ICBM drop
Depends on what's going out. A single training CDS: not much. A full load of Army dudes going out? A loooooot....power back and trim down. Don't recall that CBT anywhere, had to figure it out on my own first time I dropped personnel lol.

Dude....if I had some spare cash...I bought my M&P 15 when the market was higher. Should have held out.

Leadership at the 'Deid
Hopefully chopped chicken returns soon...It is really nice though, to not have to worry about the dumb reflective belt. Maybe 10% of folks I see wear one and *gasp* accidents have not gone up. Have we been lied to??

Radio etiquette
^That does annoy the crap out of me. We're going to read it back anyway and then you'll see "how (we) copy." On a sidenote, flying around Iraq two years ago, ground guy takes our next leg info: "Herc xx, what's the name of the city next to that base?" I attempt to pronounce and proceed to butcher it. Ground: "That's a mouthful" Me: "That's what she said" Silence...
