Vertigo

AMCI 24-101 Vol 6; I believe.

You might be better off trying to Space A to Richmond in Sydney and then buying commercial tickets to Christchurch from there. Travis would be the best place to catch that hop, although I heard they're running DC8s rather than the C17s on that run, so Space A might not even be an option anymore to Australia.

The 8th has been working on this for awhile, but since it's a tenet unit (AMC) they have a hard time getting the funding and approval from the wing.

No I said it's quite the double standard that the people on here complain about the hip-hop apparel but get pissed off when they get called out for violating AFI 36-2903. There was no comparison between the two.

Funny how everyone here hates the "shoes" for enforcing standards in the AOR (see Dumbness at the Deid thread) but are more than happy to jump on someone showing their underwear in civies- nice double standard. Don't get me wrong- his total lack of respect is reprehensible and his punishment is justified. My complaint is everyone one here griping about the "thugs" and their style of clothing meanwhile b*tching because someone told you you weren't allowed to wear white socks in uniform (even though it's in the regs!).

I don't think they're closing the CC one down. There will still be some 4000+ people living in CC since BPC will only house 1500 people (MV is now BPC - name change already!) The new BX is very nice and has a large selection of items... looks like they'll also be opening a Popeye's soon as well as a chinese fast food joint. One thing I will say about the deid that has been nice- the outprocessing checklist is SO easy. No more running from unit to unit getting signed off. It's all electronic. Place a few phone calls and done. The only place I had to go was MDG to pick up by medical history folder. Oh- the pool closed in November for repairs; I think they said it should reopen in May.

I've heard of people having to fire up the laptop but never heard of customs going through the files. They will, however, go through your CD case and will look at files on CDs so make sure you don't have anything you aren't suppose to have in a CD/DVD. External HDD is the way to go...

Active military married to active military (no kids): Both persons receive the single rate BAH. Active military married to active military (with kids): One person receives the full dependent rate BAH and the other receives the single rate BAH. Overseas personnel who receive COLA will see their COLA increase based on the number of dependents they have. The more kids you produce the more COLA you receive (although it's not much of an increase...).

It's extremely over crowded at the moment. We've got more people coming in than are going out. There's a wait for EVERYTHING. Throw in the cold and the mud...

Individuals are in my squadron, yes it involved a female and two males (the female is married to one of the males). No one ended up in the hospital... a few scratches was the most damage. The argument originated that the BRA but the fight took place in the dorms and the smoke pit outside the dorms.

True enough... SF was doing "random ID checks" of EVERYONE at the BRA (how is it random if it involves everyone?) and giving breath tests to anyone who seemed under the influence. This was last weekend... FYI- we're back on 3 beers again. It was touch-n-go for a bit but the beer truck pulled through.

The two beer a rule is in effect because the distributor can't get the beer into the Deid. Add in the fact that there's an additional 2K+ people here because of the rotation; more people+low supply = cutting of rations. This cut is only temporary.

Had to join in on this one- been lurking for a few weeks now. Deployed for an AEF rotation to ORAT last year. Our CC decides she wants everyone to wear their DCUs on the commercial flights to Norfolk before we get on the rotator. We check our weapons and excess bags in, receive our boarding passes and head to the gate. Every single one of our 15 man team got pulled aside for the "special treatment". Umm hello? We're heading to Iraq! Joe Unabomber over there in his hoodie mumbling something about the apocalypse just breezed through the TSA checkpoint but the freedom fighters have to disrobe to our jockies to make sure we don't endanger the flight.
