  1. I got the same notification from them yesterday as well...which seems to correspond to when my AD CAC expiration date is (Oct 2015). Either that or it's highly coincidental, considering I've been out for a while now. All good things must come to an end, I guess. Now I need to decide if I really need to keep this card (AMEX Hilton HHonors Surpass) or not. Or find a better value for the $95 annual fee in another card.
  2. we're testing APX-119s
  3. pretty sure he's in the Army. What's your point?
  4. KIKR hasn't existed for several years as an identifier. It's KABQ. If you are on base, avoid being lodged in Bldg 1911. If you are off base, stay north of Central and East of I-25 to avoid the most shady parts of town (South Valley). Even better to be north of I-40, but Nob Hill is a decent enough place.
  5. I know a Former Army Guy who came to 60s for a tour (as an O-4), and now he's flying Preds at Holloman. So if your bud is looking to get OUT of helos, RPAs might be a viable option...
  6. the full-up syllabus at Kirtland (no Little Rock) is starting 1 Oct - I confirmed today with my colleagues, for both MC-J and HC-J. They've already been sending CSOs straight here from UNT, apparently, and the rest of the crew positions will begin 1 Oct.
  7. full-up Kirtland will be happening, I think I the near future. Lockheed is hiring like mad all the brownsuiters they can get their hands on, and they're slowly taking all the cubicles in our building... I survived Valdumpster for 4 years, so you can, too. Tucson is awesome. ABQ is also a nice place to live (in the right part of town). Sorry I can't fill in any other gaps for the HC bubbas.
  8. quick update on Rucker drops, since no one there has been posting them recently - this is from a convo I had last week with a Rucker IP. Drops favor 60s over Hueys (last class had something like 5 60s and 3 Hueys) these days. Expect 5 ish FAIP drops in a year (which typically go to those who ask for them), and CV-22s will be starting to drop again at Rucker (unknown amount, but my guess would be near the same number of FAIP drops, give or take, from historical averages when they were dropping before).

    works like a champ now! Thanks!
  10. stract replied to HuggyU2's topic in Squadron Bar
    he was a history teacher at the Zoo when I was a dink...small world.
  11. if you love any and all things flying, try helos!
  12. stract replied to HuggyU2's topic in AFTO-781
    still same behavior here. FF 40.0.3 on OS X 10.10.4
  13. Reading the source data (the actual AIB), instead of a PA-butchered interpretation will probably clarify.
  14. nerd. Only First Shirts shout that shit at all-calls.
  15. thanks for the clarification!
  16. your sig block is MIA
  17. stract replied to HuggyU2's topic in AFTO-781
    so does the beginning of thread arrow (just tried it on the Major Board Upgrade thread)
  18. Then you agree it's silly for another country to send their helo pilots through a year of fixed wing first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. ok, so then why don't they train their helo pilots like the USAF trains? AKA fixed wing then Rucker?
  20. why did their countries send them through T-1s? Seems a little odd.
  21. the roof, the roof, the roof is on fire...
  22. stract replied to stract's topic in AFTO-781
    I thought at first it was because the thread title had the word "login" in it, but same behavior on other threads as well in the AFTO 781 subforum. I didn't want to try other subforums and accidentally spam the board like what happened last time ;)

    that's what I was trying to do. When I hit the "Submit Reply" button is when I got the YOUR INTERNET USAGE IS BEING LOGGED message...
