"G2"? Seriously? Nobody fucking says that, you're trying too hard.

Washington DC
Spent a year at Bolling as well (NIU). IIRC, Bolling is serviced by the Anacostia Metro station (use caution), you have to take a bus from Bolling to the stop. For reference, I think you could drive to Pentagon north parking in the same amount of time.

Washington DC
I've never lived on-base and I've never found a home (I was willing to live in) that met all of the criteria you list, this is especially true of DC. We lived in a small 3 bedroom, 2 bath and payed about $100 less than BAH. Loved it. We had one kid at the time and my wife stayed at home. If you can find a place that minimizes driving, you'll be much happier. The closer to the Pentagon, the better IMO (as long as you're in a decent neighborhood).

Washington DC
Are you set on base housing? While at the Pentagon we rented in Arlington, near Ballston. I could easily ride my bicycle to work. When I drove, it took twice as long to walk from my parking spot than it did to drive there. Metro stops close by, Ft Myer and USMC HQ (BX/Big Commissary) are right there. Commuting from Belvoir or Bolling will both be longer. Rent was agreeable. My info is dated (2008-2010), but more options to consider.

+1 on Lone Survivor. Read the book, saw the movie yesterday. Worth watching on the big screen.

Time to abolish the Air Force?
Didn't some General say, "If you can quickly pick out the BS when the media is reporting on very familiar subject matter, why would you believe them when they report on anything else in which you have no knowledge?"

Thanks. "Eviscerating"? Seems a bit much. Author's daddy was a General: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Carroll_(author)

Completing that voucher in DTS would be far more impressive than going to the moon. (DTG noted. I like to let posts digest awhile before replying)

Mind cutting and pasting this predictable bit of news? You know, so I don't have to subscribe to bostonglobe.com?

U-2 Dragonlady info
He's right on all counts. I knew I could get Huggy to post if I relayed some info that was a little off. I'm going to quit posting answers to "What's it like?" questions. Instead, PM me. I'll give you Huggy's personal cell number, address, dimensions, and secret callsign.

The Funny Commercial Thread
The 'Ship my Pants' one makes me laugh every time. The 'Show your Joe' commercial is just weird and disturbing. Seriously, what demographic is this aimed at? ESPN is always good for a laugh... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpH73ZIOyS0
