OverTQ

Flying at night under crappy FLIR and hearing my front seater gasp "wires" Then looking up to see them. Edited due to memory repression.

See, that is a selling point they need pitch.

Maybe you should consider being an Army warrant officer. They do make less money but all they do is fly. Very seldom do they get staff positions and definitely not until much later. If you like the fighter pilot mentality, you would like the Apache pilot mentality. Granted, the Army doesn't like the "cool" stuff like the AF does but you will get to shoot shit there. Otherwise, you had better develop the ability to cope with the "bureaucratic crap". Because it is in the O world of every branch.

2. Your average Olympic athlete will come out overweight on the BMI. BMI says I should weigh 178. I haven’t weighed that since high school. I was so skinny then, I went stealth when I turned side wise.

Remember those boxes you have to put your carry on in to check the size? They could have a chair like that. If you can fit in it, one seat, if not you have to buy two.

Funny how things make the rounds on the net. I never read the "drunken post" but received it on an email. Billy, you have gone viral.

Just got this. Another "back in my day" rants, but funny all the same.

Alright, how about lavatory. Spell check works great spelling a word right. Just maybe not the word you thought. I have never had anybody try to lift up an arm rest on me. Maybe they could charge by the pound. Have you get on the scale after your luggage goes through. My fear was that I would end up next to a jumbo on one of those flights that sat on the ramp for eight hours. At least that won't happen now.

That is a safety hazard. When he walks to the back laboratory, the aircraft will surely be out of CG.

alwyn2d, let me guess. You are a warrant officer, probably retired?

Sounds like she should have kept working at the biscuit factory.

Bummer, Europe has no desire to maintain a military anymore. I hope that works out for them.

That is too funny. The internet has "created" more tough guys than all the gyms combined. I think we have all had some heated discussions. Having an opinion is one thing, to exercise a keyboard whoop ass is another. Edited for grammar

This is going to be out of the Squadrons hands. The details are being worked out at Scott right now. It is all part of the agreement worked out on giving the AF the C27J. Who is to say what the end product will look like, but the Scott seems to be trying to meet the Army intent.

I thought that there were to be two aircraft assigned to the Aviation BDE (called a CAB). The CAB was to manage the use of the two C-130's (eventually the C27J).

Casey gave the C27J away because it would cost him a ground BDE.

Things should stay the way they are currently. We (Army) fill can't the positions we have. We are very short in the FW world and cannot train new guys fast enough.

I take offense to this stupidity.

Cool, I am at a 183%. Now what were we talking about? Edited because I forgot how to spell. Damn it's getting worse.

I can tell you exactly what happens. You get arthritis in you back right where the nerves for you arms are. The second indication you have this (first one is you back hurts) is tingling or numbness in your fingers. I have no idea how much disability this accounts for, but I make sure it is noted on my phy every year.

The Piaggio is a Italian made aircraft with a rear facing prop design. Cool pictures of the MACHETE. Maybe it will show up one day, in video game.

This is just too funny. But this is really like that cartoon where the AF guys says "this sucks" because the cable is out.

Excatly, we have Attack Helicopters operating up to 10.
