Chip is a known quantity to anyone that has spent some time at the Rock. With that, its most definitely a turn for the better, but that depends on the level of lobotomy performed over the last few years. He'll champion the Herk ways and that is a big positive change from the current regime. Now if he can solve problems instead of firing people, all will be good. Out

Outdoor Rec has a camper/RV/boat lot with a fence and locked gate. Out

In some of the HATRs I've read and had to check out, some RPAs (maybe all) do not receive RAs nor do they even know if they generate one. So its not really "sense and avoid," but more like "get the hell out of my way, I'm blind as a bat and can't see you." Out

It's a classic "oven" versus "microwave" debacle. Oh, and some general probably asked for portholes on the sides, you know, so the fellas can stick out their guns and shoot people. Not to mention the need for "sheep specs." This piece of satire is timeless, sad, and funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXQ2lO3ieBA Out

If so, then retired Gen Handy should sit in the front row of that ceremony and give him the "I'm watching you" look. Handy is like McDew kryptonite. Out

To your second point, which may not apply as you're asking about initial qual via pipeline, but there have been cross flow pilots from C-130s to CV-22s. Out

In today's posting, let's address waste, and more specifically, wasted time. Long time ago, I learned that time equals money, and that is very much true as we are all salaried employees. Every minute of our efforts costs money. With that out of the way, I'd like to bring up stuff have to do that doesn't really matter. There are plenty of AFI's etc. out there that make us do crap that doesn't matter. Take the example of getting a flight waiver for an MEL item. My vol 3 says MAJCOM/DO when I'm on the road. Couldn't we put that down to the level of say, sq/cc? See there, I just saved some general's time. Now I know they delegate that crap down, but nonetheless there is a process, powerpoint slides are made, and time is spent by many in order to allow me to fly without 2x ADFs. I could go on. Where do you all see time being wasted? Out

He has started a fad, oh... I shall call the "Wet RIley" where an idiot "assaults" a police officer's ears with saliva'd fingers while drunk from many alcoholic beverages. Video of said maneuver is required so that we can judge the severity of the ass kicking from the receiving officer. Idiot. Out

Horseshit???

You don't represent me. I love freedom so much that I want more than what they say I can have. I say what is on my mind and this forum is a great place for that kind of free thought. Don't like it? Don't read it! Just like I replaced your "words" with the common noise called "blah" because I didn't read it. And when people make asses of themselves, and they do, we usually do a good job of calling that crap out. If you want a non-public forum, post on af.mil. Vote with your comments and take them elsewhere. Go start your own site with the like minded and see how much fun you can have. Maybe it'll work out for you. Now get off my lawn. Out

Our family likes Mike Rowe and it'd be cool to share a beer with him some day. His push for folks to learn skilled jobs is commendable. I'm making my kids take a few classes at the local tech school while they are in high school to learn a skill, regardless of whether they go to college. Anywhere from engine repair, construction, and welding to computer/network and culinary arts are all good things to know. Mike's response is a classic "blue collar, get your hands dirty to snooty, myopic world view" retort. I like it. Out

And yet, with our wonderful, tip top medical system, we have our nurses contracting the disease. Our docs, nurses, and hospitals are outstanding with gun shot wounds, broken skateboarder bones and nuts, and heart attacks, but ebola? How often have they had to deal with that? Out

Most likely not as composites don't react too well to bullets. "Shedded" is quite descriptive. Out

Fixed

23 August 2014 will mark the 60th Anniversary of our mighty C-130 Hercules. Lockheed says they have a website to collect your Herk stories. I propose that if anyone has any Herk stories, post a few of them here. 10% Rule in effect unless your story starts with "This ain't no shit." Link to story with more links: C-130 Anniversary If someone doesn't like a story, too bad, piss off and go hate elsewhere. Out Edit, cause I ain't known for spellin months right.

I heard that those reports will now end up as "Data Masked." Out

Or how about this radical idea. If you like blues, then wear them without being told, directed, or ordered by some random day of the week, month, or period. Oh wait, that's what Bendy kinda said. Me, if its an office day, I wear the flight suit as I like feeling fire resistant...never know when one may need to egress the building because its on fire. There, I'm more safe in the flight suit than the polyester types. Out

If he's the one, go. Family first is not just a motto, its a happy way of life. If you can't make this decision on a snap, then maybe he's not the one. What I'm saying is that you should already know the answer and depending on an internet forum for advice will lead you to apply to places like Vivid (see post 4). Now go pack your bags.

Did any of these ACs call home, explain the situation, offer a plan, and get some cover? That's the way the AF wants it. We are not supposed to make our own decisions anymore. I like to get my decisions made very high, usually 1 or stars is my target. That way I can justify all the generals we have. Anyway... Play like a cowboy, sometimes you swagger away, sometimes you get shot between the eyes. Out

What is a rouge Santa Claus? Is that some new form of red jacket/pants combo? Anyway, to the student poster that started this, AFPC will now give your base all the leftovers. Or perhaps you Sq/Gp CCs will asked for lots of RPAs so that they can make an OPR bullet out it. I also heard that Laughlin gets better planes because their flying is harder. But Vance blows, so to make them feel better, then get good planes too. I guess you all get leftovers. Oh well. Out

Try these: https://www.fas.org/sgp/othergov/coversheets.pdf I heard they're extremely effective. Out

I believe the second "O" now stands for "over react." Out

You will likely need to renounce as I've seen it in the past. Check with the security clearance people, but you will likely need to turn in your UK passport. You may also need documentation that this was done. Out

Remember, that is part of the problem in the AF. Although, ol liquid will say it's just me they don't trust. Out
