http://www.crazyaunt...e_ermey_lea.php WTF is up with R. Lee Ermey? I'm guessing he's only doing this to restrain himself from gouging out some commie's eyes and skull-fuking them.

http://abcnews.go.co...led-up-sleeves/ It's not just the AF that decides to kill morale on a whim. As of 24 Oct, the USMC is no longer allowed to roll their utility jacket sleeves. The given reason is that deployed Marines aren't rolling their sleeves and the Commandant wanted one uniform policy. So much for having a distinctive uniform. I always question the parentage of my buds who are Jarheads, but I've always respected their choice to be the Navy's bullet blocker. They've only been fighting a war against terrorists (sorry, overseas contingency operation against man-made disaster perpetrators) for a decade now. Let them wear their sleeves how they want at home!

I guess this qualifies for the mile-high club. Do you have to finish above 6000A to count? Post the link if you can find the uncensored version, my google-fu is weak... http://www.geekosystem.com/sex-skydiving-faa/

In before the lock! Try this It should answer most of your questions.

The Voice It's from the company rag, but 'ol girl is getting a chance to shine. Hopefully it'll be good PA and TIB funding gets diverted to something we'd actually attend.

Boyd's bio was pretty good about covering his contribution to fighter design. It's not an in-depth, scientific study if that's what you want, but I found it interesting being a non-Aero major. Hope this helps.

How long before PA 'shops out the tab patch? Over/under: 2 weeks

I could get to the forums from my last base (an east coast AMC hub) but couldn't from an ACC base in the desert. Guess out depends on local CS policy.

Quote “Allowing flying units to keep their patches while eliminating them from all other units only further perpetuates the stigma that in our Air Force, there are fliers, and then there’s everybody else,” wrote 1st Lt. Benjamin Moritz, a maintenance officer with the 55th Wing at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb. “Why should fliers be the only ones allowed to show pride in their units and their jobs?” Quoted for posterity. I know Ben, this will make excellent FTU/Naming fodder. Perfect example of "RAINMAN's Guide to Life Rule #1: Never talk to the media."

So it has a "C" prefix, does that mean you track T-1s to fly it? I'm surprised PA is even aware that we fly.

Most FGOs "maintain" theirs at the BX.

Syphilis

Looks like it isn't all 30k at once. Here is a link saying its 10k over the summer and another 10k next year. Still, a 10k reduction will tie up the airlift community for a while.

THE poster boy for the Stolen Valor Act. Punishment should be a swift kick to the nuts.

Llyas Kashmiri He was a heavy hitter in S Waziristan. He seems to be the facilitator between UBL and field jihadis. There was no love lost between him and Pakistan either. Whatever, props to those who bagged him and tagged him. Hopefully there will be someone left for me to kill. EDIT: linky

That statement applies across the board, not just 11F's

What, no more reflective belts?

Whoever it was will have a one-line PRF for the rest of his career.."Killed UBL, Terrorist #1"

He's been dead a week? Wow, I'm surprised the secret was kept that long.

Geraldo on Fox reporting UBL is dead. Wonder who got him if true? Damn I'm on leave and not on the SIPR..

Couldn't agree more. To clarify my earlier point, I'd let in the top 12 ranked teams into the post season. That would let in a darkhorse, like Boise St, who lost one game to still compete for a title.

Really, you'd let the conf. champ from the Sun Belt in the dance? Potentially that could be Middle Tenn State or U of Arkansas Little Rock (both of which could be beaten by a quality Div II school). And what about ND? Would they get an automatic bid due to their independence or would they have to be seeded high enough by the AP/Coaches Poll? I'm more a fan of a 12 team format. The top 4 seeds get a bye-week in the first round. It allows for all the conf champs, if desired, and the bottom four get a game a little closer to their competition level.

I think if you squint you can see Rainman getting his plug. No in all seriousness this had to be between '72 and '78 based on the first and last flights of the jets involved. Thought it was worth a look.

London protests Looks like an interesting day in London. Riots turned violent over gov't budget cuts. Hope no one from EGUN or EGUL got caught up in it.

I was in the bunk. My boots were off. "Freeze" means the water had dropped below 0 C and was no longer in its liquid form. Anything else?
