  1. every plane should have an affordable new cock.
  2. the next time I hear "sausage" or "convoy" I'm going to break something. Why is it the USAF seems to be the only service that uses Joint Brevity?
  3. Sounds like he was drunk, out after curfew, got in a fight... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. yes. Another tough read.
  5. you are only required to check once, so the originial non-a is valid. You technically don't even need an actual non-a slip, an MFR will suffice, according to the JFTR. I don't have the para handy, but it's definitely quoted elsewhere in this thread.
  6. Gen Welsh's FB page has this and a bunch of photos in the same vein posted. I'm sure Tony got it from there.
  7. black socks or white?
  8. clear your cache?
  9. I've not had any of these issues. I accessed webmail as recently as last night with no issues. My base is on the Andrews server if that makes a difference.
  10. nope, doesn't get lost, because Finance Guy is awesome and answers in a timely manner, like he just did on someone else's post. There's a rule about not starting new threads if there's already one in existance.
  11. please move this to the thread already created for this purpose...
  12. Yes, we got the Pkard reader, it's not Bluetooth, it plugs into the 30-pin port Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. yes. DM's is in April.
  14. T-34: Was on a navigation ride (clock-map-ground), and left my map up in the WX shop before stepping, and realized it as we were about to taxi out for takeoff. Somehow I was able to BS my way through the ride and not hook... UH-1: performing first auto in a couple months (first ride after instruments leading into remotes), and I definitely touched down on the tail stinger, 30 degrees off lane heading, and somehow pivoted to the lane before coming down on the skids. After we came to a stop and rolled the throttle back up, the IP (the DO) turned to me and said, "Well...let's try that again." Not sure how I didn't hook, but the write-up said something to the effect of "minor deviations during first straight-ahead auto, corrected by the end of the sortie." HH-60: C-3 or C-4, whichever was the "auto ride" during IQT, I was flying with the SQ/CC, got slow on the descent of an auto and got the "Go Around" call. What did I do? Pulled an armpit of collective and drooped the SHIT out of the rotor. I somehow remember having the time to turn and look at the FE as we were falling out of the sky with the rotor horn blaring, and his mouth was a big O, and eventually the engines caught up and we flew out of it. The SQ/CC was sitting there calmly the entire time and didn't touch the controls, and once we got back to the downwind he chuckled and asked me what I learned. 1: Don't get slow in an auto 2: don't pull in an armpit of collective on a go around, the engines need time to respond 3: Underfreq protection works. I'm not sure how the main gens didn't kick offline, that's how much I drooped the rotor.
  15. umm, my office just recently turned in the crackberries for iPhone 4Ss. The 8 GB version was free.
  16. big negatory on wearing DFDU on commercial planes. Pretty sure you can wear civies on the rotator tho. You can change into them upon getting to the pax terminal. Or change when you landing at your next gas stop.
  17. yes, working well for me.
  18. read the AFI closely. As quoted above, "when wearing the ABU coat..." and Chapter 5 is all about the ABU anyway. Nowhere is this stipulated when wearing Friday shirts with the FDU (Chapter 8). "8.7. Undergarments. Undergarments are required with the FDU and DFDU. During flight operations all undergarments, to include cold weather undergarments, must be cotton or fire retardant material and must be on the safe to fly list maintained by Aircrew Flight Equipment (AFE). Undershirts will be crewneck style and tan in color. Exception: Wing Commanders may authorize Airmen to wear a designated unit standardized color undershirt on Fridays, or during special events."
  19. no, that stipulation only applies to the ABUs.
  20. yes, S/MIME is Miscrosoft propietary and only works on 32-bit versions of IE. So S/MIME will never work on a Mac, since Microsoft ended support for the OS X version of IE many many years ago.
  21. if the question is about accomplishing a curtailment, I don't think those are that cosmic. It doesn't mean a position is being cut, it means someone is asking to be released from an assignment/location early. I've seen others do this from OCONUS locations. It's just a request to curtail the length of the current assignment. So in his case, since that ADSC exceeded his UPT ADSC, he needs to curtail to be released. ETA: the correct term in AFI 36-2110 is a "stabilized tour." Para 1.4 talks about waivers, suggest you start there.
  22. have you met with him to ask the status of your application? Make him tell you to your face that he's slow-rolling it, or conversely you calling him out may actually get him to act in a timely manner.
  23. that will be the last status update until you either get word that it's approved or denied (at least, that was my experience 2 months ago with my request for separation process)
