No, the only requirement is to be an instructor to actually TEACH IRC. There were a handful of non-instructors in my class in June (including me), and one Nav. However, all of us were ID'd for IP and most would be attending IPUG within a few months of finishing AIS. Also, shack to what JS added above. Big fan of that Embassy Suites and the Manager's Social each night...

were these taken before or after the tornados wreaked havok and the birds had to be sent back to Sikorsky to be repaired? Either way, looking great, and it appears that the TFU is at least a couple more inches from terra firma now...

when you're an F-22 trying to cross the international date line?

(besides zoomies) And for that one E-9 who does know the Third Verse, does he know that it is sung to a different tune?

I helped host their event at Moody in 05 I think it was, and I'm on the e-mail list. Too bad I'll be in the midst of formal training when this year's event occurs with the Navy.

this trick works for PEX, so it may work for GDSS: Hold down CTRL while you are clicking the link with the popup. Once the popup has popped up, then release CTRL.

Dan Zerbe was the other PJ onboard. Dan was a great dude, I was stationed with him at Moody. A Toast... https://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/08/york_county_soldier_among_thos.html

To jump on that bandwagon, TOML provides scholarships for the children of Rescue personnel killed in combat/training.

I got word that 2 PJs and one CCT were among those killed. Here's a toast... TSgt John Brown and his family are in my thoughts and prayers tonight.

it's already in that thread. About 4 weeks ago... edit: added link...

nice Office Space reference...

and Afghanistan has a red desert...

is that John Travolta's house?

NA on the SA there, Rainman. It's right in front of your face.

maybe they think the sage green boots are all that!

right outside the Eubank gate it's not bad, just know that the Eubank gate has specific hrs that it's open (06-18 or something like that), weekdays only. The only 24 hr gates are the Truman and Wyoming gates.

A year later, and the crew of PEDRO 66 weighs heavy in our hearts. For those at DM, there will be a memorial dedication tomorrow, 9 Jun, at 0900L in front of the 48 RQS. For those at Nellis, there will be a memorial tomorrow, 9 Jun, and 0900L in front of the 66 RQS. To Capt David Wizniewski, Staff Sgt. Michael P. Flores, 1Lt Joel Gentz, SSgt David Smith, and SrA Benjamin White, a toast: "These Things We Do...That Others May Live." Thoughts and prayers to the copilot, Tony Simone, and the gunner, Christopher Aguilera as they continue to recover from their injuries.

FP = First Pilot in my community. Basically when we allow mission copilots (who are also FPs) to take the A-code for non-tactical missions, like ferry flights or cross countries.

FO is short for NFO (he's a Navy Flight Officer, aka WSO)

my favorite quote:

This is a great telling of the story from Rescue's point of view, and reads much better than I'm sure the citation will. https://www.bagram.afcent.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123254042

seriously, he bears a striking resemblance to Hitler...

Why did you break out Falconview from PFPS? Falconview + CFPS = PFPS
