Gina? Seriously? Good lord...

Not dumb. Not unguided.

Kind of hard to hide, now, if the Chief is actually considering it a card to be played at some point. Cat's out of the bag. And if it really isn't on the table, as the article implies, it seems that Everhart wanted to win the scare tactics game by going straight to the nuclear option, to prove that he and his friends mean business. Or at the very least, to test the waters to see if outright bullying actually works. And on another note, comments like these are appearing in almost every article about pilot retention I've read thus far: "As part of its effort to improve quality of service, the Air Force is also reducing additional duties and non-mission essential training required for pilots, and outsourcing routine administrative jobs in squadrons to allow them to fly more." Yeah, I've seen the SECAF memos, and the jobs/duties that are being cut, but I hadn't heard of nearly half of the them. And none of them seem to equate to flying more or less. We still fly the same amount of hours as we did before. Squadron Website Manager? That's a thing? I had no idea until my buddy told me he actually was the squadron's website manager. Had been for over a year. When I asked him about it, he smiled, and said "we don't have a website."

Unfortunately, no, because I agree with you. There will be no forum. That's been made abundantly clear now with the threat of stop-loss. The fact that they've even whispered the idea shows how little they care about us, and that they still refuse to address the underlying problems. We're just objects, and you can't pull opinions or ideas from objects.

Apparently.

Probably not before the meeting, but he may force us to stick around so that he can tell us all about it... Stop-Loss an Option for Air Force to Stem Pilots' Departure to Airlines "Everhart said he has already told airline executives that stop-loss is an option. 'I said to the industry... if we can't meet the requirements, the chief could drop in a stop-loss -- and you need to understand that,' he said." Lol, is he threatening the airlines?!

Mythbusters calls busted to this myth

That's much more believable. At any rate, I've been waiting to use this for awhile, so here goes:

Nope. Best thing to do is get tested soon. If you're positive, take a handful of azithromycin, try not to scratch and scream when you pee, and for the love of god, don't be a fool: wrap your tool.

Good on him. It's nice to see that, even though he went to the Zoo, he still had enough non-awkward social skills to pull that.

And if they say no, we're already assuming you found a GREAT one. So at least give us a linky!

Debauchery and bafoonery at their finest. Plus Death Metal Pizza. It's hard to stay civilizied with a combination like that.

Beer: Bud Diesel Rum: Either Sailor Jerry or Appleton. Had a reeeeaaaal bad night with the Captain in college and can't even stand the smell of it anymore. Vodka: Goose all the way Bourbon: Jimmy Whisky: Jacky (Canada can go fvck themselves) Dip: Skoal Mint long cut, but only after having a few losing years with Kodiak Wintergreen. And I have to agree with Discus. I spent way too many years working construction to spit. If you can't gut it, you should give up. Misc.: Weed (of course), and as just a side note: had more than one vodka Redbull for the first time in my life last weekend in Austin. Over and over again. Gallons of it. Got 5 hours of sleep the entire weekend, smashed my Blackberry (against the Hilton, on purpose, because it back-talked me), fell asleep in a river, ordered $40 of pizza of which I didn't have a bite, told a girl with braces that she had "shit" in her teeth, and woke up with next to what I thought was a mermaid, but turned out to be a manatee. Never... EVER... again.

I just think it would be better served if the hand belonged to another hot chick. Then they could switch!

Dude, there's a dude in your avatar. Unacceptable.

Does anyone else disagree with the warning printed at the bottom of this picture?

Maybe take a breather? And wash your hands.

I want in on the fun! And my personal favorite:

It just depends on timing. As of right now, dorms are not full up capacity, so if you are single, be prepared to live in the dorms. They're even threatening to move single guys out of their base houses into the dorms to fill them up. But, once they're full, you'll have the option to either live on base (if a duplex is available), or move to off-base housing. If you do get the dorms, you'll be staying there for the remainder of your training (unless something unusual happens).

That one's good to go.

When you inprocess Day 1, you'll visit with the MSgt that's in charge of all medical issues at IFS. Spin him up on all of this and he should be able to take care of you and advise you on what you'll need to do. He's a pretty cool dude, so I doubt he'll tell you you can't fly or anything like that. You may even be able to delay taking your PFA until later in the course (like they do with the studs that don't pass their first one). At any rate, this probably won't be that big of a deal.
