Kingsman was a lot of fun. Well-made action movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. It was directed by the guy who made the first Kick-Ass, so the fight scenes are similar. The best scene is where Colin Firth straight up murders a church full of Westboro Baptist types.

An RPA guy can fill a 6 month, nonflying deployment just as well as the next guy. Just sayin.

"MIF+1" is a dirty word at AETC HQ. This used to be the standard starting point for checkride grades, but was done away with some time ago, at least at CBM, because it violates the syllabus and CTS. As others have said, it doesn't matter at all how a stud at another base is graded, you are only ranked against your class, at your base, in your track. Work hard, study your ass off, and don't be a douchebag.

I can vouch for Dredd. Solid and entertaining B movie.

If you show your cards by refusing to sign the ADSC for IP school, your CC might decide it would make more sense to send someone else who is more likely to stay in instead.

The shoes would never let it happen.

Sorry, this was in reference to the suggestion that I should drive to a brick and mortar school on the weekends.

Or in AMC? Good luck trying to have any predictability on when you'll be home from week to week, including weekends.

Columbus. Central Oklahoma blows hard, and Laughlin might as well be Mexico.

Question from an outsider: do all H model guys, including gunships, go through the same FTU?

Good movie. The raid goes down almost exactly as described in "No Easy Day"

To each his own, I suppose. Like some others have said, it's not a bad place to go out for an afternoon to get to wear civilian clothes and eat some real food, but i'd never want to live there. The novelty of riding a camel and visiting a tacky, highly flamable mall would wear off quickly and be replaced with loathing for the homicidal drivers, endless dirty strip malls, and general filth. The airport is particularly disgusting. Even with an impoverished Pakistani cleaning the bathroom full time, you still manage to end up with a literal pool of shit on the floor. Definitely not saying the Deid is a worse place to deploy than Kandahar, Bagram, etc, but the city itself is one of the last places on earth i'd want to PCS.

We must not have been to the same Doha. That place is an absolute shithole.

CHS' aux field for assaults/touch and goes is uncontrolled. Also had to divert once to Stephenville Canada's old uncontrolled SAC strip when the whole east coast was socked in. Folks should be generally familiar with how to do it in case they ever have to

There's the problem
