?s on logging flight time
thread bump. Wondering if anyone uses LogTen Pro, and if it's worth the $99 purchase price? Or should I just go with an excel logbook? If the latter is the recommendation, please point me to a good excel product so I don't have to reinvent the wheel. Thanks!

did you check vMPF to see if you have a DOS of 31 Jul 14?

FY 14 Force Management Program (RIF, VSP, TERA)
there's a rumor floating around on FB that the SNCO TERA first batch may be done, and to check to see if you have a Date of Separation loaded in vMPF as that may be an early indicator.

I miss the camo paint scheme. And what are those things above the center windscreen?

Jalapeno Popcorn
I was in Anaheim last week for Heli-Expo, and made sure to find a Coco Ichibanya for a meal. The entire experience was just as I remember in Japan. Too bad they don't sell curry packets, though I was able to score some of the delicious sesame dressing.

Army vs Air Force flying
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?

Non-Availibility lodging/letter
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.

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.

TMO DITY/PPM Problems
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.

What was your biggest mistake in UPT or IFS?
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.

- Military Rotator...
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. - Military Rotator...
