I built a 6.8 with White Oak parts. It's been reliable and accurate, but I can't speak to its lethality yet as the deer seem to avoid me when I have it with me.
Kotonics went out of business a while ago. They had a problem where the chrome lining in some of their barrels was too thick and was causing overpressure. They did their best to fix it, but went bankrupt trying to make things right.
$825 isn't a bad price. If you get it and find pressure signs, worst case scenario you could rebarrel it with something from this guy and be good to go.

So there's a dude in my class who was passed over on IPZ board to Captain. Any idea what the promotion rate is for APZ to Captain? If he's about to be kicked out of the AF maybe he could get some advance warning...
Short answer: I'd get my resume in order and cut expenses.

This was mentioned in past tax threads, but Taxslayer is free for mil and isn't limited to the 1040EZ. For those of us without rental properties and all that, it's pretty slick.

Pretty damn cool. I wonder if that would go differently in places with "no refusal" laws or court precedent.

I've got a Zanotti and I like it a lot. I bought it expressly for ease of moving and because I don't know the floor plan of my next houses. I don't want to get a safe that works in this house and next time I have to leave it in the garage.
Assembly took two guys, but was easy overall. Make sure you ask for their military discount. As always, buy bigger than you think you'll need - you'll magically fill it up.

But which 2 of the 3 get married?
Doesn't matter. A marries B and both adopt C. A true modern family.

" The cost of the surgery was estimated at $20,000." What would the surgery cost in the US?
Probably a lot more because the surgeon wouldn't be slicing and dicing pro bono.
The hospital said it is financing all the traveling costs and accommodation for McKinnon, who is performing the surgery free of charge.

(e) COMPUTATION OF RETIRED PAY- Retired or retainer pay of a member retired (or transferred to the Fleet Reserve or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve) under a provision of title 10, United States Code, by reason of eligibility pursuant to subsection (b) shall be reduced by 1/12 th of 1 percent for each full month by which the number of months of active service of the member are less than 240 as of the date of the member's retirement (or transfer to the Fleet Reserve or Fleet Marine Corps Reserve).
So if you retired right at 15 years (180 months), then you'd get 35% pay? Doesn't sound altogether like a bad deal, especially if the healthcare is unchanged. You can get out at ~37 instead of ~42, and might be more marketable. And for those going to the airlines, that's 5 more years of seniority.

Any literature on this? I'd like to read up on it. So far I've found articles from early 2000 saying you cannot go NFO to pilot.
Literature? No, but I'm a Whiting IP and we've had multiple NFOs come through as students in the last year.

nothing says manliness like punching a girl in the back of the head that you outweigh by 200 pounds.
So if she outweighs you by 200 and is a foot taller, it's cool? Sounds legit.

Hosed? Not so much. The courts don't even consistently prosecute MOH phoneys. They're just gonna laugh this one out the door.

Question: Are any of the hours we did at IFS log gable in the DA-20 towards a PPL?
Yes and no. They're loggable because you can put whatever you want in your logbook. I would put them in mine. However, they're only usable towards a private certificate if you have all the right endorsements/signatures from the CFI that gave you the training. Since you don't have that, you're kinda SOL as I doubt they're gonna do the legwork for you to get that.

Can't say I'm shocked. We'd get more use out of a light attack aircraft than we ever will get out of the -22 or-35, but the program will never see the light of day as long as Congress doesn't see the benefit.

... work the MOAs VFR and then fly VFR to where ever we wanted to shoot approaches and pick up a local (Which I guess isn't that uncommon at Pensacola). People looked at me like I was Copernicus going on about the earth not being the center of the universe.
Big Blue could definitely learn a thing or two from the Navy about VFR ops. They might even start stocking these crazy things called "sectionals" in the pubs room.

As for your wife working at Herbie or Eglin, that's probably not going to work out well. You're going to want to be w/in about 10 mins of NAS PCola for those 0430 show days that happen more than anyone likes. That leaves her driving 1+30-2hrs to work each way. Look for a place out the back gate, near Blue Angel (a street) and you'll be in good shape.
So they could just give up, or... they could live in Gulf Breeze and each drive a little bit, even if it is early. That's probably a better option than telling the guy to live WEST of the base. Just sayin.

###### yo timeline!
Oh we'll make the timeline, even if we have to fly every weekend to do it.

BTW, is/did the Navy ground their fleet?
Yes.

Where was it stated that a FAIP was giving a form 8?
Ironically, from a post by Mr. Lumbergh.

6.8 is cheaper at Silver State Armory. Not 5.56 cheap but it's not all 25/box.
