First, thank you very much for this P27, we all appreciate it. Secondly, I had a question about getting an FCI before OTS while NOT being age critical, and whether it is allowed, frowned upon, or just not allowed at all. I know that age critical people have to get their FCI and put that in with their OTS application (do they also go through MFS too, or just the FCI portion?). I know this it putting the cart way ahead of the horse, but if someone (read me) was really worried about somehow not passing the FCI/MFS, is it possible to go through the process before being selected to OTS? It would be an enormous relief to be able to know a simple yes or no (even if it was a no) before the whole process begins and you get worked up just to be let down. It would be really hard to be awarded a pilot slot, get worked up, and then be told your dreams are over because your heart has some obscure flaw or ___________ other random disease/ disability/ or whatever else. Part of me wants to say they wouldn't because they want people who have actually committed (as opposed to some random civilian) to the AF before they pour all this money into them by doing all of those medical tests, but then again they let (force) civilians to go through the process (although again they're age critical). This is still 2-3 years out, so things could obviously change, but as of now, do you know what the deal is with cases like this? Thanks, and I appreciate any help.

Enjoy!

Gotcha, thanks.

Just a few questions. Which base would have been the "better" place for the school house, Eglin or Luke? Were there any compromises, or was Luke always just a backup in case Eglin didn't work out (the way I understand it is Eglin was always the first choice)? Also, I'm a little confused about when the first F-35's will arrive for training. In one article it says 35's should arrive sometime in 2010, but in another one it says 2011. Am I just mixing up different stages of the training schedule/ w/e?

Another ones in the air and kickin ass, and it's a P-40 to boot! To bad I'm at college, it happened in my area, and would have been a great sight with a chance to probably hear a lot of great stories. http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20090...NEWS/901309992#

I've always wondered about the story to that one. Here OP, do yourself a favor and read up http://www.af.mil/factsheets/factsheet.asp?fsID=81 if you haven't already, and UTFSF. There's a lot of good threads on various aircraft talking about deployments, locations, etc.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Well that explains a lot then! Alright, everything looks good now.

**Revival** *Never mind, read edit.* I'm trying to upload my avatar again (since the host of my old one exceeded bandwidth), and I'm having some trouble. It's in .gif format and when I go to enter the online URL for it and click "Update Avatar" I get a "Offsite File 90x90." The original size is greater than 90x90, but I do have Image Scale On, which fixed my last avatar (greater than 90x90). I'd resize it myself, but googling gif resizers and trying to actually resize it doesn't seem to be working for me. Is Image Scale On not working or am I just retarded? Any ideas? Thanks. EDIT: Posted this and just saw that it's working. In my user CP it wasn't showing up which lead me to believe it wasn't working.

Yep. Check your pm's. EDIT: On second thought, here it is for everyone. WARNING NSFW! http://img220.imageshack.us/my.php?image=aksandtitsgr4.jpg

I liked the part about, "These hole-ups are referred to as Alpha Whiskey Romeo's (Allah's Waiting Room)." Haha!

Here's a 50/50 split between WTF and fvcking alpha. Israeli Soldier gets ambushed and uses one of the attackers as a meat shield for a grenade . http://dotsub.com/view/80f72f12-a701-4520-9925-d96e2d9d4808 Don't really understand how the grenade ended up back by the attacker??

I see your 51's and raise you a P40! http://s222.photobucket.com/albums/dd220/b...20AS/?start=100 Here's the link to my photobucket for the 2008 Wings Over Wine Country airshow. Perks of being a volunteer is that you get in early with no crowds!

Thought I'd upload some pics for you guys before I go. None of these are mine, just cool ones I've picked up throughout the years. and my favorite Edit: To many to post.

And remember folks,

Of course I'm sure!

^Damn!

Probably a few re-posts, but who really cares? More boobs to come.

Hurry, someone tag me back in.

I knew that flamingo reminded me of something...

Was bored, so I made a few for you guys, let me know what you think *hides behind wall.* (sorry for bad quality) Either way,
