    Any, Ips have updated info -- PPTs (CAPES/Lifestyle brief) for upt studs to look at. I have alot of buds here at ENJJPT that would like to make an informed decision when drop night rolls around -- the info on Heavies has been to say the least very lacking. Please PM if you can I plan to put an assignment breif together for them.

    The only info I have is for Hercs which is dated now

    Side bar any info on the FRED would be greatly appreciated personally I'll be at TRAVIS around the Aug time frame.

    This website might be of some use. (For fun if nothing else).

    http://www.usafupt.com/id21.htm

    Yep.. I emailed the dude who runs this site a few days ago here is what he sent me-----

    What blew my socks of was the caption with class 59G's patch

    According to the "History of Air Training Command 1943 - 1993", printed by the USAF Office of History and Research, HQAETC, Randolph AFB TX, 1993, the T-37 aircraft were ready for delivery earlier than expected and the Air Force accepted the contract in late 1956. The first T-37's began delivery in 1957 and by 1959 there were 5 bases with the T-37, all now long since closed. Bainbridge AFB was the first primary pilot training base to begin using the T-37's. The first class trained with a combination of T-34's and T-37's was class 59-9 beginning January 1958 (see attachment 1 - excerp from one of my books).

    By Aug 1959 five of ATC's contract primary pilot training bases were using T-37's (Bainbridge, Graham, Spence, Bartow and Moore). Malden AB did not pick up the T-37 because it was due to be closed in the early 60's. Incidentally...the first 5 bases that got the T-37 were closed in 1961.

    Randolph (3510th FTW) picked up the T-37 in 1960/61. Not much data is available on early Randolph classes. (see attach 2 and this http://www.usafupt.com/id37.htm).

    Columbus AFB (3650 PTS) picked up the T-37 in mid to late 1969 with the first class being Class 71-01 in January of 1970 (http://www.usafupt.com/id56.htm).

    Laughlin AFB got the T-37 by 1962 when it assumed the ATC training mission from Laredo AFB. The earliest my records go for Laughlin is 1964 (sorry...no help from this base)

    Reese AFB (64th FTW) got it's first T-37 in Aug 1977.

    Do you want me to go on, or have I gone on too long??

    The T-37 was officially retired from Columbus AFB Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training during a ceremony April 3. Captain Labrum is a member of Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training Class 08-15. ----

    I can only speak for the AMC side of the house, but I wish we could afford to "buy" some IPs to take care of the MPDs we have! You would have to ask RASH about that one! He would know best1

    I thought the 463rd (now 19th) was doing that.... did they quit

    Found the following site while surfing tonight and was somewhat shocked at the details contained in the article, specifically the detailed information on the type/location of all the countermeasures. What do you guys think? Shouldn't Big Blue be more concerned about Op Sec, or am I just naive and need to STFU?

    At best the website was Semi-accurate.

    Internet Saftey: Respond vs. React – Dealing With Bullies On The Internet

    ....If the person seems to be just communicating you to harass, insult, or you get the feeling that they are being hurtful on purpose, then that person probably falls into one of the following categories: People who are idiots, People who are naturally mean (and would be in real life), and People who are trying to purposefully get a rise out of you for their own amusement. You can recognize these types of people if they use any of the following tactics:

    1. Not making any logical sense in their communication.

    2. Their communication has little, if any point to it.

    3. The communication is filled with curse words, insults, and/or threatening language.

    4. The communication may even be worded with correct grammar and a sense that they are stating a perfectly acceptable and even “righteous" statement, when the intent of the email is to hurt or anger you.

    5. “Masked" threats, or hidden and subtle language that contains verbal “daggers" to get to you.

    6. Continued communication to you, especially if you have chosen to ignore their actions.

    7. The whole point of the communication is to insult you, demean or demoralize you, or to make you angry or fearful.

    Manas Air Base

    Lastly, any idea on the percentage chance of sneaking a case of vodka in under the guise of "MX PARTS" or stored elsewhere on the jet? Seems like a good idea to us, just wondering what level of ass raping would ensure if we were caught.

    Don't do it I personally know 3 dudes that got caught (at Manas) --- article 15 for each --- This may have changed but, beer light gets tuned on there every once and awhile.

    But to answer your first question---could you do it --- sure
