  1. The iPad itself as an EFB isn't completely terrible. You can turn the FLIP on night mode and it isn't bright at all. Works fine on NVGs. I would love to see a program like this on the iPad but AMC has enough trouble just keeping up with far superior programs like Foreflight. I think if the biggest problem is having to switch between one app for pubs and one for plates, then were doing pretty good all things considered. Still better than having to pull out a pub, find what your looking for, and have an approach plate open. The technology to use facetime etc is being toyed around with at AMC already. They like the idea of wifi updates, facetime with maint home-station to help solve issues. If it were me I would pursue the iPad venue regardless because I doubt AMC is going to change at this point.
  2. How the hell is this "goofy". Bunch of ballsy people if you ask me.
  3. FUEGO ELEMENT...any body used one? Leaning towards the Weber, looks like a solid investment.
  4. The Charbroil finally rusted itself useless and with the new Infrared grills out there, anybody have advice on a good grill. Been sticking to gas because of convenience but thinking about trying out wood/charcoal or the infrared.
  5. Im glad they did the study. Can you imagine a plane full of people blabbing on their phones. Flying commercial is bad enough.

    USAA

    I close with them on May 9th. So far everything has been pretty streamlined, dont know if it's my Realtor or just USAA. We used our VA and are locked in at 4.75%. Not amazing, but far better than my parents who had 13% in the 1980's. They also send out info saying they need different documents, then on the phone say they already have them. I just sent in a crap load of paperwork in the hopes they will stop asking.
  7. Corpus class 1101 C130J Little Rock C130 Peterson C130 Elmendorf X3 C130 Little Rock C130J Dyess
  8. The American version is weak. Hopefully the show will stick around a few seasons and become better. Look at Top Gear from years ago, it's much more entertaining now. George Lopez is the Mexican Antichrist. For someone who hates America so much he sure is reaping it's benefits.
  9. You haven't seen anything yet. Just wait....literally.
  10. Could just be the angle but it looks like he missed the canopy by a foot or two...whew.
  11. Sick. Now go get her a big dutch oven and call it a day.
  12. Weekly Whiting Drop (17 June) Air Force 4 x T-1 Nobody got 38's, and some got third on their list. Must be needing T-1 guys right now. Last week their was a T-1 and UH-1. Slim pickens on the 38's the last two weeks. Generally plenty get dropped.
  13. The only two sites that are actually mostly current are marinegouge.com and coastiecrossover.com. I would definately stay away from the rest. Everything is changing with T-6/T-34 combined ops anyway. Everyone uses the gouge at Whiting. It's encouraged, but encouraged cautiously.
  14. Ummm...because it's gay, obviously. Oh wait, my apologies probably shouldnt say gay anymore...it's retarted, oh shit hold on...cant say that probably either. It's just silly, how about that....just so silly.
  15. Isnt that what being a LT is all about. Walking away with you tail tucked between your legs is part of the process. I know when I left ROTC...I wanted NOTHING to do with the pukes who were younger than me. I really dont know when dungeons and dragons became cool, but I sure hope those tards learn soon otherwise they will get royally bitch slapped when the report to duty.
  16. I generally like humorous videos like this, but this is embarassing me just watching it. If you must rap while in uniform, at least have some rythem and confidence. These guys are not only terrible, but wierd me out.
  17. Couldnt reach the relief tube. Airmet for moderate turbulence had me about to pass out. Luckily, I downed a half gatoraid bottle in my map case and filled er up. Close call.
  18. You should try having to see the T-6's on the flightline, and not be able to fly them yet. Nothing like truely strapping in the 34 and knowing the only way out is to climb out.
  19. Lets just pray that he/she will be found alive and well. I'll be praying for the families as well.
  20. Thats scary and hot. Whats stupid is that these braods can get away with some of that...and you sneeze to hard around the punter and you get flagged immediately.
  21. Why is it that all the people in charge do this? Seems to me that most people on here are actually normal and could make a difference if they were put in the right place. You have to hope that one day soon someone or multiple people with common sense get the opportunity to make things better. You guys should try being on a Navy base, where you will get shot for even pumping gas in your flight suit or showing your military outside of the base gates. Keep thinking how nice it will be when they let me go back to an Air Force base, but damn all this makes me wonder.
  22. 1) Bitburger 2) Shock Top 3) Abita Amber 4) Coors in the can..of any sort 5) Molson
  23. New guys coming in....literally plan on having about a month off if your coming in the December time frame. You will get the first 2 weeks off...then go down to finance etc at P-Cola...get your NAMI physical...and then still have time off after that. Eventually you will probably work in the AFLO office or OPS, either of which are about 2-3 hours a day...3-4 days a week. There is so much down time...and yes your military bearing will be destroyed, but...as others say, you live in Florida. Whether your Pace, Milton, Bagdad...its all the same. P-Cola NAS is a good 50 minute drive from Whiting Field because of redlights, traffic, etc. From Bagdad it is about 30 minutes. I have found tons to do in Milton, especially if you like the outdoors, and dont mind a 30 minute max drive to the beach. If your looking for a really good rental house...best company around is Village Homes and Land...their application process is along the lines of "show me your military id".
  24. Just to update some of the outdated info....you will check in at NAS Whiting Field. If on the weekend...check in at hq and they will stamp your order, then you can go to lodging or wherever you like. Come back in to VT-3 on Monday and report to the AFLO office. Everything is extremly laid back. Best place to IMHO is NE P-COLA or PACE. Only 6 weeks of API, and you will not start API for like 5 or 6 months after you check in. I work 2 hours a day, 3 days a week on casual here, even after I finished IFS I just waited about 3 weeks before API. If you need any other info PM me or call the AFLO office here. If your wife is going to work at Eglin, Bagdad is the best place. 30 to 40 min to Eglin, 15 to Whiting.
