  1. This and add in the Squadron toast, if you have one.
  2. Why not...the tweet could do it! Which is probably why you need full aileron to pull a straight loop.
  3. Haha, we used to have to suffer through that video every year, back in my enlisted days, when we knocked out all our annual requirement! I figured it would go well with all the people nerding out about the obogs/LOX/Nitrous.
  4. Block 50/52 Vipers.
  5. It's a good thing Congress doesn't have any other pressing issues to deal with...
  6. Seems odd to be speaking so late on a Sunday night!
  7. Yet another reason these guys should never pay for a beer!
  8. WOW...my bad. Too much
  9. Speaking of WTF...WTF happened to the posts of Lt I have to much time on my hands, so I became a NFL cheerleader. I'm pretty sure it was on this thread!
  10. Then said Airman cries (no shit, actually cries), goes to the shirt and complains that so and so, was mean to them. First shirt goes to his commander, who talks to your commander, your commander forces you to apologize to the airman. Not shit, a Major forced to apologize to a SrA, for giving the airman a counseling session (in private). It started out as a "talking to," to the airman about not doing their job, when the airman got respectful, it was time to talk in private! Our Marine exchange officer about shit his pants when he saw this! Saw it happen...
  11. 10%...awesome!
  12. Are we talking an active A1C, or a guard A1C? Had an buddy (A1C) making just under 100k and numerous SrA - SSgt friends making well over 100k, in their civilian jobs!
  13. This has been a big question lately. I would go into the base retention people or whoever run the GI Bill at your base. They should have nailed down, what you can and can't use. I haven't looked into it in a while, but I'm pretty sure they are getting it changed so you can count your title 32 time as well. From what I understand, you can only use a total of 48 months worth of GI-Bill from any of the various benefits (AD, Reserve, Post 9-11). I used the Reserve GI-Bill for college, so I only have 9 months left on mine...but it's still a years worth for the kiddo!
  14. I hope they have been hitting up the BSA range! Ok, so...tight base, IAA, high wire, thing on the thing...$hit there went min release!
  15. Wow, I'm surprised it took this long for this story to end up here. I love the description of his profile pic in the second link. FAIL!
  16. Valid! Never heard of him before today. Ya, must have missed that one... Copy... Because it costs about two to three times as much to send a kid through the academy. Not to mention the yearly operating costs of running the academy. We already have ROTC dets all over the country...seems like it would be cheaper. I don't know, maybe the dynamic of having guys from all three commissioning sources is good a good thing. But as nsplayr pointed out, this apparently has been discussed before, maybe this should be moved to that thread.
  17. Also, if we're talking saving money, how much money would we save if we shut down the academies? Increase the number of ROTC/OTS students per year to make up the numbers. This would be what, one maybe two students per ROTC det? Paying a full ride scholarship at most colleges would be way cheaper than running the Academy! What do we really gain from the academies...especially with the students that punch at the end of their commitment?
  18. While they're at it, kill ASBC and SOS...Talk about a joke, and waste of $$$$$!
  19. Even in the desert. 0,1,1,1.
  20. *Note - I have never read this book and can't vouch for how good it is.
  21. I don't have the reg to back it, but I know a UPT classmate of mine (guard guy), that lived in the dorms and received BAH for his house back home (the wifey lived there). Goodluck! UPT is a PCS.
  22. Whoever said, "if you're not 5 minutes early, you're late," is a fu%king moron!
  23. More importantly...I was born in the wrong era. I've heard great things about that bar!
  24. Same here. Valid! Ya, I fully agree with your challenge. I just thought this was a great time to insert a plane as bada$$ as the Skyraider! It scares me that people (ie...leadership/politicians) think the 35 is going to take over the mission of the A-10! That thing won't take anywhere near the BD that the Hog can...
