As for the TVFreeload account it takes a couple seconds to register and you can watch almost any tv show that you want to. Just trying to help! Don't shoot the messenger!

True, but they will be saying it in either Russian, Chinese or Spanish...

Dude seriously. Every news media outlet out there is biased because no one reports the news anymore. CNN, FOX, NBC...

Here is another link if torrents aren't your thing! http://tvfreeload.com/forum/index.php/topic,40838.0.html

Freaks.

As long as you have logged them in your book.

No when you log onto the PCSM site it blocks out the other catagories of hours that you have already achieved. (i.e. if you have 6 hours you won't be able to see the 1-5 hour catagory)

But... but... he IS the Messiah!

Now is this a direct quote of what the Retiree said or the cashier. I think its funny how 90% of the time the first person to pull out the race card is usually the most racist person in the room. This $hit just makes me want to throw up. Grow the fvck up, make your own sign and stick it in your yard. Oh what? You don't have a yard? Oh because you are still waiting for the Messiah to buy you a house? Well then tape it to your cardboard box.

Thats what she said...

Do you think they will do that for me? I got the GWOT Service medal for fighting terrorism at ASBC... That's the same as deploying... right?

Next time you think you have had a bad day... think of this dude. The Messiah's eloquent words sawed his face in half and then he healed him, but left his F'd up face as a rememberance of all who doubt the Messiah. No wonder why none of the ninja's posted above made any kills... the legendary "BLACK/WHITE NINJA" was also in attendance, thus binding their top secret government ninja moves.

OH MY GOD! IT'S A THREE EYED LADY... or is she morphing? If you were thinking the whole inauguration was a circle jerk... here are two dudes who apparently took that to heart. So what could be so interesting that both of these guys are staring at the dude in the tan jacket's schlong while The Messiah is speaking?

So when will the first UPT studs get selected to fly it? 2010, 2011? Any takers?

Thanks~

From my experience, not trying to generalize two career fields, the Marine MPs took their job more seriously, and took their authoritile religiously, especially over officers. Maybe Jarheadboom can shed some light on this. Maybe they are both the same though.

The MPs in the Marine Corps are just as bad if not worse than the SF of the Air Force. Imagine an 18 year old with a badge, a car, an M-16 and a sense of authority. All in all, it worked out. I doubt anyone wanted to get into a tussle with a dude pointing an M-16 at their head. You aren't going to physically restrain him. He did order him to leave them alone and to bring it up with his commander. Besides that, what would you have done?

I have Nav friend at Randolph right now and he is EXTREMELY excited about the U-28 mission and his role as a Nav. I think everyone has already said it, but talk to some people who are doing the job, not some bitter O-6 Detachment Commander.

Late reply to this, but my Dad as a Marine Colonel, harrier pilot and SQ/CC, had a harrier crash in his squadron and the pilot didn't get out. He opened the access gate on HIS SQUADRON's property so that they could do recovery and some other stuff. Some Lance Corporal MP tries to arrest my Dad and his Capt for opening the gate. So my Dad told him that they had a casualty and he can pound sand. The Marine persists so my Dad says "Do you see who's name is on that building? That is my name, which means you can do whatever you want, but you aren't arresting me or my Marines. If you want to shoot me, go ahead, I just hope you have a damn good explanation to the Group Commander as to why you shot one of his SQ/CC." The MP sent in a formal complaint to his boss and my Dad's boss. The difference between the AF and the Marines: The leadership backed my Dad for his actions and didn't monday morning quarterback what he did. The MP was told to STFU and do his job.

Something like this happened with me for SABC. I clicked through the slides, but when I got to the test, I was going to get the questions wrong and then get the right answer and redo. Unfortunately, it just said I failed the test and didn't give me any of the right answers. I went out of the test and it said 100%... so I printed my certificate and moved on to more important things... like... MY JOB!!!

New article about the 35. Luke pilots selected for F-35 Joint Strike Force initial cadre by Senior Airman TONG DUONG 56th Fighter Wing Public Affairs 1/23/2009 - LUKE AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz. -- Two Airmen of Luke Air Force Base's F-16 Fighting Falcon family were selected Jan. 9 to become part of the initial training cadre for the F-35 Lightning II. Lt. Col. Stephen Pieper, 310th Fighter Squadron director of operations, was selected to be a squadron commander and Maj. Chad Lewis, 56th Operations Support Squadron assistant director of operations in weapons and tactics, was selected to be one of the first instructor pilots for the Air Force's newest fighter aircraft. Since only a handful of test pilots currently fly the F-35, the Falcon duo will need to learn to fly the aircraft from them, Major Lewis said. "This initial qualification training ... will take approximately two to three months," he said. "Once we're qualified, we'll be responsible for training the next pilot in line. The United States Air Force plans to buy more than 1,700 of these aircraft, so we have a lot of pilots to train." The two aviators will be part of the 10 initial instructors in the F-35 training program and will be responsible for training all the subsequent instructors. Along with FTU instructor responsibilities, the initial cadre will develop tactics and assist with systems development in future F-35 variants. They will also be developing methods of force application that will revolutionize warfare, the major said. To find suitable applicants to become initial cadre, the Air Force sought pilots with A-10 Thunderbolt II, F-16, F-22 Raptor and F-15E Strike Eagle experience. Colonel Pieper and Major Lewis submitted applications through their chain of command to be assigned a rank order number. Once the applications left the base, they were reviewed by a selection board chaired by Maj. Gen. Anthony Przybyslawski, Air Education and Training Command vice commander. The selection board evaluated multiple criteria including flying hours and fighter experience. Major Lewis believes these areas gave him an advantage above other applicants. "I am a weapons instructor course graduate with more than 1,500 F-16 Fighting Falcon and 500 instructor pilot hours," he said. "I also have combat experience in Operations Northern Watch and Iraqi Freedom. I think these are some of the biggest things that helped me get selected." Along with Major Lewis' background, Colonel Pieper and the others bring similar combat experiences to benefit future Lightning II pilots they take under their wing. "The combat experience that a number of us have will prove valuable as we attempt to marry the additional capabilities the aircraft bring and the tasking the Air Force has for us to fill and uphold," Colonel Pieper said. Though Colonel Pieper will be filling a different position than his current job, he is confident his experience will transition well as an F-35 squadron commander. "As a director of operations, I know how scheduling meshes with aircraft and airspace availability," he said. "The leadership skills that I also possess will come in handy down the road." For Major Lewis, the opportunity the new assignment provides is two-fold. "One is to be among the first pilots to fly the F-35," he said. "Number two is to be involved in the development of a program that will have a long lasting impact on future airpower application." There are challenges associated with any new weapon system, he said, along with opportunities. "This aircraft and weapons system is drastically different than any other in the Air Force," Major Lewis said.

The Civil Air Patrol is not the military. Sorry man, I couldn't resist. I appreciate your service.

CAVEMAN, you are leaving your mark all over this forum! First the Obama thread then here!

Want to know how to fight this kind of war? Read "Devils Guard". Unfortunately, policy won't let us fight like this.

Doing R&D after the war starts is how the Army manages things (no dissing there, learned it during Army History back in college, taught by an Infantry Officer). They are always playing catch up. They get the job done, but it costs a lot of lives and money that way.
