I like that my hours are mostly my hours, not George's hours. I got into this pilot business because I really like controlling the plane with the hands and feet. Even when doing long-haul, I encourage everyone hand fly up to cruise and on the way back down. Out

If you think my BODN name means something about me, you are mistaken. Think of more as a representative for the common AF aviator. Ever see a sq commander be allowed to take care of any issue how they see fit? "Hey George, thanks for telling me about that airman that got in trouble, I'm sure you got it covered." Mark that as shit that Gp/CCs don't say. I could go on, but I've got the power of fellow BODNs that can chime in and do better. Probably experienced it. Out.

Your kind doesn't trust us! I've seen it too many times in the last 5 years. So I don't trust you guys anymore. You people have fucked over the good people of the AF with utterly unbelievable fucked up bullshit. I could go on, but I'd be repeating myself and nothing will change. Out.

Such bullshit men. I highly suggest people to go read the SIB and you will clearly see the main reason why this happened. Out

From what I've seen, its the stratification of DPs that helps get you school. But that was so once upon a time. But if the AF is relying upon that awesome SOS program to select the next LTCs of the AF, time to start getting your nose a bit brown. Oh, don't fly either, that will just open yourself to possible risk of mistake. Hacking the mish is not #1, its #219. You too can the the most awesome Colonels if you just follow my guide to promotion popularity. Out

^^ That letter just created a "hostile" work environment. Anything anyone says could be twisted by a creative mind to fit into a box of inappropriateness. Out

Good stuff. I will echo that the briefing we received at a quarterly session was basically what 3-Holer said, the crew was dumb. The brief was lacking sufficient detail and I didn't learn anything. I try to learn as much from these things as I can so that I can improve as an avaitor. Sitting around swapping stories and gaining a better understanding of our limits and our aircraft is priceless. Thanks for sharing. Dear BaseOps Moderators: I pledge that we create a new discussion group called Safety. This topic is a great start. Out

Everyone loves to tell the story of the legendary Commercial upteen thousand hour pilot that couldn't hack UPT. I think his name was Big Foot. In my class, we had a few guardsmen with some civy time. They all did well. Our sister flight had a dude with lots o civilian time, he was top in the class on the 38 side. The guy that finished dead last, had 0 time, not even a PPL or flight screening program time, but he did finish. The point, its your aviation career, prepare for it however you wish. Yes UPT IPs will show you stuff, but preparating doesn't hurt. Oh, and if an IP yells at you, you get to yell back...CRM 101. Out

Someone took out a tazer, the kind that shoots a few thousand volts of electricity, and shocked a sleeping man???!!? That is a fine example of a deep lack of judgement. If you lack the judgement to electrocute a man that is sleeping, then I firmly believe that person lacks the judgement to lead a unit. Out

$500 toilet seats. Want one? Out

Tomorrow night, any beer I drink will be "Schraderbrau." Adios Amigo.

AF: We're retiring the A-10. Army: We'll take em. Marines: We'll pay to take em. AF: But we have this new F-35. Marines and Army, at the same time: does it have a 30mm that strikes fear into the gut of our enemy? Jinx, you owe me a beer. AF: no, but it has this new fancy deal where.. Marines: shut it. And there you have it folks. The man on the ground has a love affair with the Hog. So much so that I can actually see them trying to take over flying the plane. I wonder why? Out

DFRESH, You killed it. No more warning on that page. Add a stencilled malware icon to your computer, right under your name. Let us know when you're an Ace! On a side note, I use Malwarebytes on my PCs and it does a great job with malware. Symantec absolutely sucks at malware. Malwarebytes is free for one-time scanning and fixing, but for a small cost, you get real-time protection. Out

I just went to page 8 of the U-28 thread and I am still getting a warning from my malwarebyes. The IP it is blocking is 195 dot 191 dot 25 dot 190 (decimal = dot). A quick google search of that IP says the website name is hankstruckpictures dot com and that its server is located in the Ukraine. There is still something with that page. Out

September 19, its "Talk Like A Pirate" Day. Be sure to throw in a "Arrh, me gear is down" when talking to tower today. Out

I just visited page 8 again of the U-28 thread and my Malwarebyes popped up a warning. That is the only page I've seen a warning. Chances are one of the picts on that page is an issue. Out

And some 'round here think I'm a bitter angry little man. Out

I like your enthusiasm for wanting to better prepare for UPT/wanting to be a good aviator. Nothing wrong with that. For instrument flying, the basic rulebook is AFMAN 11-217. If you take on flipping through that booger, please don't try to memorize it. Use it to gain familiarity. And I think that what most here are saying, gain awareness and don't try to teach yourself. The good ol folks teaching UPT will show you what you need to know. Move out on your own and you risk going down the wrong path. What you will find is that once you are in the program, any headstart you gained by reading ahead is gone quickly. There are some UPT blogs out in the net that can show you a day in the life (if you can get past all the individual awesomeness spew). Enjoy puking on your first ride, Out

Is anyone enrolled in the Veterans Advantage program? They give 5% discount on United and some other perks. Just looking to see if anyone has thoughts on it. Thanks. Out PS, just read that its 5 bucks a month in fees.

You select the best leader. Leadership is not measured by how much AAD you can attain. This isn't a Cyber Awareness CBT of Farmville. So if I'm the selector of SOS attendees, and my leaders are sitting at the table with their lists of potentials and its time to pick the next one and its between the flyer and the non-flyer, I'd start with "state your case." The first one that mentions AAD will get the response of "big whoop-dee-doo, got anything that means something?" You see, the point is that anyone can enroll in school and get pretty certificates to hang on the wall. It takes about zero leadership potential to do that and some self-motivation. But you keep on singing the AAD song and its stuck in your head like a bad one hit wonder. You look silly singing it out long all day except to the boss that has the same lame-ass song stuck in his head too. Out

Page 8 of the U-28 thread, when I first go to the page, my Malwarebytes pops up with the following warning. Its the only page this happens on. Its the page with the rollerskating Batman.

I, I mean we, call them Super Es in honor of the E model dash 1 used to operate them, the AFTO 1C-130 E(H)-1. Its a nickname and we like it. And they fly faster due to magic. Out

Shouldn't be too much of a performance issue at MT for the ole Super E. If the H can handle C Springs, it can handle MT. Don't be surprised when it trues out higher than the H1. Out

I'm getting the same using Firefox. BTW, I happen to get a malicous warning when I was on the thread where someone posted the semi-naked Batman in roller skates. Before that picture, all was well. Once Batman arrived, I received warnings from Endpoint Protection. Out

If you need "combat" in your airplane name because it makes you feel a certain way, have at it. Try not to take yourself so seriously, warrior. Out
