  1. Edited: U for SA... thought you guys were talking about academic testing, not PT.

    I think I know the person you are refering to... a couple of us took our test a few weeks ago and one of the guys I was with who was behind me took one step into her office and she immediately yelled "I'LL BE RIGHT WITH YOU SIR" along with some speed brake hands. She did the same thing the next week, and this time he didn't even step inside the office. UFB.

    She also gave a long speech about cheating and UCMJ punishments... good thing we didn't bring the 100+ pages of gouge we had with us.

    On an unrelated note, I have to admit that this was one of the most laid back Deid deployments I have ever had. My boom got chiefed a couple of times, but I never had a word said to me, and my stache was wayyy out of limits. Having the Guard in charge has made a huge difference IMO.

    The Guard is only lead of the Tanker unit. The differences you are seeing have everything to do with the new wing king. He changed most of the dumb policies back in October.

  2. On the radio, in the heat of the moment, you're correct. Posting "5-6 guys squirting in every direction" on this message board? Worth a chuckle.

    That was my train of thought. I am wildly immature, I can't even say titmouse without giggling like a schoolgirl. Didn't intend to ruffle the feathers.

  3. I know what the image was posted in reference to. The crap that has nothing to do with the thread. I was bringing it back to Tebow's games.

    Your crap has nothing to do with this thread. Post tits or stfu. P.s. I am drunk and have fat fingers I do not like your post I meant to hit quote.ot boobs or forever hold your peace.

  4. But what if Tebow played Ditka

    - who is that Tebowing specimen you posted? Inquiring minds must know.

    Well, considering Ditka is God I do not think that Tebow play. And the lady is adult film actress Samantha Saint.

    I just broke my own rule and opened a link posted on Baseops while my Wife is sitting next to me. She is not amused....oh well.

  5. TIB was in town here last night...we have a dude who is in it (previously referenced). This morning we had an all-call so the TIB commander (some 1Lt who was a running back at the zoo) could thank the squadron for "letting them have our boomer". They sang us a couple songs, which actually weren't too bad, and then gave our SQ/CC a plaque. They should have been personally thanking the 2 boomers who had to deploy extra to pick up the slack. But what made me most mad was that they get to wear BLACK BOOTS with that fruity little blue onsesie getup they wear. And they smile waaaaaay too much.

  6. And I have yet to have a single mission where the entire offload went as planned according to the ATO. There has always been last minute adds, receiver cancels, token offloads (4k to some Mud Hens...WTF guys), or top offs.

    And you never will.

    Do booms have a fuel flow gauge? Is it accurate?

    No. Copilots do and it is INOP. It is a decoration.

  7. Who cares about Tim Tebow's religion and the way he expresses it? This is America, right? Let him do his thing.

    The great Brian Urlacher put it best. "Tim Tebow is an excellent running back."

    And to switch gears and talk about the best team in the world besides the Cubs...I'm sad to see Caleb Hanie drag what was once a team in playoff contention into the gutter. And that everyone else allowing him to do it through their costly mistakes and poorly executed play.

  8. I like that one. Here is another good one:

    Two fermions walk into the bar. The first one orders a drink and the second says "I will have what he is having."

    And an appropriate question for the WTF thread:

    What the ###### is a fermion?

  9. Do you know when you start getting the new Boeing KC-46?

    No.

    I was an aviation major at U of Illinois and did ROTC. ROTC will not pay for flight costs, so assuming you are even eligible for a ROTC scholarship you will still have a TON of money to pay. With that being said, there are a few different types of ROTC scholarships available. I suggest you start reading the ROTC threads.

  10. Beers on me at the Fox bar.

    If you're buyin I'm drinkin! :drinking:

    I am predicting the mother of all Charlie Foxtrots as the AD moves out of the Deid and into the OUP location. I just left OUP and the AD hadn't even started to plan for the transition (they will be taking over 1 Oct supposedly). Many of us were asking what the plan was and responses such as, "We'll just extend the guard guys til 1 Nov" were common.

    The transition just started. Is the chow hall open yet, or are they still serving out of the O Club? Are the flight lunches still the same box nastys? Most importantly, are they still doing missed meals?

    $69 says the AD will have that place totally ######ed up by the end of the year. Rode with the Wg/CV over there last week and he mentioned that, "O-6s at USAFE are already asking me why we don't restrict everyone to base and make them wear PTs". NSTFS. YGBSM.

    Updates to policy: Civies allowed off duty and off base travel is encouraged. There is no three drink rule. However, as soon as someone ######s up it is PT Gear all the time, so pack like you are going to the AFCENT just in case.

  11. Is this news developing from the TFI convention at Pease?

    This happened last October. A few of McConnell's lines were always covered by the Guard, not the case anymore.

    Because it is my LIMITED understanding that they are trying to mobilize the Guard...thus active duty going to Spain and Guard picking up a TON of the lines for OEF/OIF.

    There is a lot of buzz about that around the 340th. No definite answers, still too far out. The way things go in the desert, nothing is for sure until the gear is in the wells. Guys have been extended after their bags were already on the re-deployer...

    Talking to a certain 3 star today he definitely sounded like he wanted to drop the ops tempo for AD Tanker guys.

    They have been saying that to every GRACC class for the past 18 months. However, that is impossible unless the rest of the Air Force stops flying...and that aint happening. Everyone I know has lubed up for the long haul.

  12. When Olds was told to remove his iconic mustache, he said "yes sir," and he did it, end of story.

    The difference is that General Olds was told to shave it after he was home. Nobody stopped him as he was stepping to his jet to tell him that his mustache was out of regs. The author is missing the point...standard

    Edit for pro-noun clarification.

  13. Next target: Right Start empire.

    At least our crew is only 3 people so the process moves quickly, even at Qatari speeds. :beer: to the RJ/JSTARS crews for having to deal with this.

    The 340th is already battling this. We go to Right Start once a year and the rest of the times sit through a quick ppt during the commanders in-brief.

    And :jd: to the tanker crew that gets to customs right after the JSTARS...during the Qatari dinner hour and a half.
