Good thing your not in the Navy. They would be giving you training on how to breathe water.

This is one that pisses me off. I am former Air Force, my daughter is an Army medic and I raise and donate money to send supplies care packages to troops; this guy needs to spend some time in some front line desert $hithole. Between the crap at Penn State and guys like this, what 7uck is happening in this country! https://boston.barstoolsports.com/featured/does-this-look-like-the-face-of-a-suffolk-law-professor-who-hates-our-troops-and-thinks-soldiers-are-murderers-who-are-unworthy-of-our-support/

This Penn State thing is getting worse. I was listening to the local sports-talk station this morning on my way to work and they were interviewing Mark Madden, who wrote a story about this 7 months ago that was also ignored, and he had this to say: https://www.weei.com/sports/boston/this-just-in/21153916/madden-sandusky-may-have-pimped-out-kids

Nukes. No one could tell if did or not. It already looks like "Mad Max" over there.- Combat Controller Poser exposed
I think the picture of him in "uniform" sucking his thumb might be a give-away.- Multiplying By Zero
Excellent article. Thanks.- WTF? (**NSFW**)
- RIP Maj Winters
A great man, warrior and leader. RIP. I like these quotes from the article:- Anywhere Maps GPS?
If your are just looking for a backup get one of the Garmin units. I have a Garmin Aera 500 that works great. You can buy nav databases for anywhere in the world. Plus when you are on the ground it has automotive mode.- Bad day on a A380

- Forgotten heroes from Vietnam - USS Kirk
During the fall of Saigon, one Vietnamese family in a helicopter, low on fuel, gets rescued by a US Navy ship, the USS Kirk. The Kirk goes on to rescue 20,000-30,000 (estimated) refugees. All of this was forgotten until recently. I can't imagine being so desperate that I would drop my children out of a flying helicopter. https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129554870- F-15 RAPTOR being sold to Saudi!
Not a pilot story but still a good one. Back when I was at Chanute (this will give you an idea of how long ago this is.) A friend of mine was a Master Sgt and was cross training to missiles at Chanute. The AF was also training Israelis, Saudis and Iraqis at Chanute. They had to be kept separate to keep them from killing each other. Good times. Separate dorms, classrooms, and meal times. Well the AF felt it was ok to mix theses guys in with US guys in the dorms. My buddy had an Iraqi dude as a roommate. My buddy was always complaining about the lack of showers and abundance of cologne his Iraqi roommate used. My friend complained directly to the guy about the smell and the reply was "that this is a good, manly smell." Anyway, my buddy decided that it would be good to take his roommate out on the town one night. We were planning on going over to Champagne and hit some college bars over there. The Iraqi dude jumps in the front seat and off we go. My buddy turns on his CB radio and starts asking about speed traps on the way. Iraqi dude starts looking nervous. So I ask him if he is ok? The guy replies "In my country only secret police have radios in private cars." My buddy with missing a beat and completely straight faced "Yeah its the same here too." I thought the Iraqi dude was going to mess himself right then and there. Next day, Iraqi dude moves out. Word was no other FN would move in with him. - Afghanistan...how would you fix it?
