Fogledick is set to speak at the 15-05 grad ceremony at Columbus. The best part is that the entire class is aware of his exploits and what I'm assuming is a combination of Asberger's and narcissism.

My girlfriend and I are both going to be going to UPT (6 months staggered) and we're also planning on getting married.. I've heard plenty of advice against it, but it's going to happen. That being said, has anyone even heard of a successful pilot-pilot marriage? What are the factors that would affect us (air frame selection, deployments, etc)? Any info at all would be greatly appreciated.

Any info on the new AFI regarding motorcycles? I've only heard rumors.
-
Apparently there was a typo in the email and the deadline is not a month from now. So does anyone have any experience with this?

3rd year of AFROTC, admin staff decided to surprise all FA13 commissionees with the news that medical waivers need to be in by Dec. 31 for the rated board. I realize it's unrealistic to expect a waiver by that time, so what are my options? I've already asked the SSgt in admin who's supposed to be knowledgeable about medical issues a year ago and she didn't give me any useful information. If I have to push my commissioning date back, I might be able to.

I have no control over where we go, we can only suggest things to our escort officer on the days that are free. That was not a free day, end of story.
And yeah, that is f*cked up. Don't get me wrong, I would be tempted to take the ride, but there's no way I would. I didn't do anything to earn an incentive ride over the people who did.
-
Trust me, I would have much preferred to pay my respects at the memorial, but the guys at Creech went out of their way to have us today so I doubt that would have went over well. Apparently the PDT group before ours got viper rides, in front of all the other people in line here at Nellis.
-
Unfortunately we're leaving for Creech at 7:30, otherwise I would be honored to attend that.
"Stuck" was bad wording. Having the time of my short life on base.
-
Good stuff dudes, any advice/ideas for who to visit on base? We're stuck on base during the week. Thunderbirds, petting zoo, and Creech are already lined up but we're looking for ideas.

Staying at Nellis for two weeks on an Ops AF PDT and I was wondering if anyone had advice on what to do while here. We hung out with the Red Horse guys for the first day; they were really cool and lots of info was digested by all. For anyone at Nellis, we're the obnoxious ROTC cadets walking around, feel free to glare.
Also, didn't know whether this belonged in the ROTC thread or not?

Hey all, just a quick question. I am going to get my private pilots license and have chosen a school that has a Super Decathlon (tail-wheel acrobatic aircraft). I'm choosing it because I am somewhat of an aviation purist and I view the Decathlon as a way to recapture that old flying experience. My question is, for a beginner pilot who is considering joining the military to fly, would this be an appropriate (or an ok) aircraft to learn on? Or should I just stick to the more modern Cessna's, Pipers, or Diamonds? I figured I could learn to fly tail-wheel and then just check flight on other aircraft when I want to fly them. Thanks.
Well it's not exactly a very tame aircraft to learn on and it doesn't have any VOR equipment, but I love them. As far as military flying goes, I'm sure any of the pilot's on this forum will tell you that civilian flight training will not help you pass UPT. Flight hours will help your pilot selection score.
Personally, I think the Decathlon is a bit too responsive for a beginner, but take a couple flights in it first to see if you can handle it.

Hey anyone got a working link to this?

I believe that could be classified as a mercy killing. He definitely let her have it, but in a polite way.
5/5 Stars for destroying her pitiful argument.

Just bought a gorgeous auto ordnance 1911. Picked it up once and fell in love. You will NOT regret the purchase of a quality made 1911 (auto ordnance, colt, springfield, etc.), there's a reason they've been around for so long.

Mr. Rotor, I salute you sir
Well done.

"...inappropriate relationship,” the official said, who also would not say what genders were involved.
Of course they didn't mention what genders were involved, GO NAVY!

And considering your size you might want to look into some sooper dooper milspec turn signals.

At least I got chicken

Well I will be going running again today, and I will post the new times. Does anyone know of a way that I could make a blog? That would be much better than me getting flamed every post I make.
You might consider learning from the opsec mistakes of a certain foxtrot alfa golf operative that shall go unmentioned.
I recommend the stainless steel reinforced hand knitted combat socks and the phalanx mk15 CIWS running cleats (to keep the babes away).

just leave two obviously suicidal people virtually unrestrained by the side of a busy highway AFTER they've already tried to play in traffic. GOOD PLAN!
