  1. http://thehilltalk.com/2015/07/08/f-16-air-force-jet-collides-private-plane-charleston-sc/ This references the WG/CC stating the F-16 was at 2,000-3,000'...completely normal considering the FAF altitude is 1600' and MSA is 3100'...gotta go with Kenny on this one. Even if they don't *normally* vector them out to Monck's Corner, it could've been a busy day for the controller, or potentially the viper was exiting Gamecock MOA essentially on a base leg and was descended to 2-3K'...not sure why Whitman finds this mind-numbingly impossible.
  2. Overall those with only a "P" promoted at 36% across the board

  5. How fitting that she, like the vibrator, was charged with battery
  6. Each MAJCOM is supposed to have their own rules. It's in the 202v3, this sounds like the same one AETC had edit to add: Exceptions apply to cargo types on HHQ missions
  7. Worst part is that he told us he was proud of giving DPs back to big AF if he didn't think he had enough people in his wing who deserved them. Talk about abhorrent leadership
  8. MORALE with slash through is what I originally thought of here at our SQ level...I think that's the way to go
  9. From Limerick huh? There once was a woman who was a whore She loved to get plowed on all fours But after a while, the old "doggy style" wasn't enough to satisfy anymore!
  10. Conduct on becoming undead perhaps. Methinks you mean conduct unbecoming, stoleit. Regardless, this should be the standard issue M4
  11. 2...do not see it, it is a chick flick in disguise
  12. shack. just goes to show that people will always perpetuate stupid rumours instead of simply doing the research and rtfm (or just read the part they want to apply...)
  13. +1 on the pathfinder being a hell of a good watch. It's solar powered so you never have to worry about batteries, and it automatically updates from the atomic clock, so a time hack pretty much comprises of checking that you have it set for the right time zone. the barometer/altimeter/compass are a plus on top of that
  14. I can't believe boner bux made it in here
  15. Would recommend staying away from Ryanair if possible. The fares are cheap, but the extra dollar you are spending on a legitimate company is worth it. Ryanair flies out of small offsite airports and the service is sketchy at best
  16. From CAFB they are saying we get 1 day official travel and 3 days permissive. Staying with buds along the way/way back is gonna help, instead of paying lodging costs out of pocket, but how exactly they are paying the mileage to us isn't quite clarified. As in, if I'm going to Albuquerque in the 3 permissive days, and then driving up from Albuquerque to Pueblo on the day before IFS begins, will they end up paying mileage only for that leg of the trip, or will mileage be from CAFB to Pueblo. It makes a difference in how I'll end up spacing the trip out, and whether or not I will even have claims up to the cost of the plane ticket. If they are paying the full mileage, that alone is enough to bring the cost equal to the plane ticket, but if not, I might be holding on to alot of other receipts to try to get reimbursed.
  17. Not sure if this should go in the TDY pay thread, but since it is specific to IFS I thought it should go here... Has anyone driven out to the new 4 week program? I am being told at my base that we will only get 1 official travel day, and the rest of the travel time will be given as permissive leave. However, I have not gotten a straight answer on how this will affect getting paid on the travel voucher. I have been told that we will be reimbursed up to the cost of the plane ticket it would've costed. However, I am also being told that we will not be reimbursed for mileage on the permissive days. i.e. I would only get paid mileage for the one official travel day. I have also been told to keep receipts from lodging and gas so that I will be reimbursed for that. I am curious as to how the travel voucher will be processed, and if gas/lodging from the permissive days will be reimbursed as well. Also, I'm guessing that the official travel day will be the day before my IFS class starts. If that is so, it could influence where I am making my stops, so to make that day of driving further to get more mileage paid. Any help/clarification on this would be greatly appreciated! Thx
  18. I was in high school at the time, and in Japan. Kind of strange because most peoples stories are of the morning, while for me it was in the evening due to the time change. At the same time, I was keeping my mother calm and the following week was quite hectic on the base, with the added factor of a typhoon coming through. Was a shock, especially knowing people in the pentagon and knowing several relatives who had been there only days previous. For my brother, it was his first day at college, and being a small school in the south, they went to the first couple classes before determining it was best to just call school off. to those affected, and their loved ones
  19. It's legit to sell your used software (given that you have removed it from your computer, and aren't holding on to burned/"backup" copies)
