  1. Took about 69 seconds to find the following: From Promo boards from 1989 to 2012 (not exactly ancient history): O-6: Male 44%/Female 50% promoted. O-5: Male 67%/Female 71% promoted. I didn't bother trying to crunch the ethnicity numbers, but whether you buy into the virtues of gender diversity or not, sure looks like Big Blue has been making a concerted effort over many years to promote females at higher rates than their male peers. Take it for what it's worth; all data came from the AFPC Static Reports website.

    How many of each gender were up for promotion? I suspect that the number of females eligible was significantly lower so those percentages aren't really that telling. Also the difference is only 6% and 4% for the respective boards which isn't all that compelling either.

  2. Masshole, you are getting a lot of advice from the other guys and I’m going to add on to what has already been said.

    STOP TALKING IMMEDIATELY

    Most people on this site are more than willing to help a young guy/girl with questions about AD or pilot training, but when you attempt to go toe to toe with someone who has been around, you will lose credibility/respect. This conversation will come back to bite you in the ass later so just stop baiting the mod, trust me on this one.

    NEVER PASS UP THE OPEPORTUNITY TO SHUT THE F*** UP!

    Fixed that for ya... the fact the he is a pilot is irrelevant here. She never challenged him on flying skills. However, the advice is spot on!

  3. Notice there hasn't been any posts by Tracer since the first one?

    My guess is Tracer Tong wore his blues pants, which got him hooked up with a Playboy caliber, bisexual woman who is addicted to sex and has kept him in bed the past few days. She's probably already invited over her best friends to have a threesome with him and to keep him occupied while making him a sandwich.

    Just a theory...

    If so then our intrepid Tracer had the last laugh!

  4. For those that have gone through the actual training already, would a pc sim have any value as far as practicing procedures and running checklists go? I would think that it would have an advantage over sitting in front of a poster when chair flying.

  5. Guess I outta put down the Stella... Anyone like Pilsner Urquell? I wasn't much of a fan but a good friend of mine swore by it and Grolsch.

    Oh and Terrapin sucks! I don't think anyone listed it but damn they have some nasty brews.

  6. I've completed the obligatory 0.69s search through the forum and could not find any threads related to stories of how you all got your call signs. If I simply didn't read the memo regarding the restriction on asking this question, I'll go back to filing my TPS reports.

    I don't have a call sign yet as I am a casual APT and have not yet been to the show, but some in the squadron have taken to calling me E Lo because I share a last name with that terrible actress/singer with a big @$$. How about the rest of you?
