My first thought was, "Holy shit, it's Thanksgiving and you're sitting around thinking about 6 year old threads?!?" Then I poured another Scotch.

General Petraeus resigns amid affair scandal
Talk about beef curtains...that's nasty. Back to the topic in at hand. This Kelley chick is a real winner and this whole GOFO groupies and Friends of Base X thing is mildly annoying. Long article, I bolded some of the real gems. Put out by the AP via USA Today. Incidentally, this is probably the first time I've read anything from USA Today when I wasn't drinking coffee in the lobby of a <insert hotel name> while waiting for a ride to the jet. https://www.usatoday....-tampa/1703995/

Trident university TUI increasing tuition rates
Ok, so I don't have to Google it, what's the difference between a regional accreditation and a national one ( referenced in the post before mine)?

Trident university TUI increasing tuition rates
Forgive my ignorance, but does that mean that Trident is internationally accredited? If so, and your choice between Online Masters Program X and Online Masters Program Y hinges on that fact, you're a douchebag.

No, you are not. I also find it funny that the Weather Channel uses the hashtag "#sandy". Edited for "punctuation".

Wait for your predecessor to leave behind the tail wheel from his above-max-crosswind landing. BOOM! Deuce tail wheel on your bar at home. So you're into multiple swords, huh? PM sent.- Skydiver Fearless Felix jumps from 18 miles up
Wow. That's all great, but doesn't answer the original question, does anybody else NOT give a shit? BTW, you were right, he didn't go Mach one, it was .9 Mach. I still consider it more ballsy and impressive given the state of 1950’s technology. And...It would be slightly less amazing to go to the moon today than it was in 1969...slightly. And...who's Travis Pastrana? And...why am I spending so much time responding to your post.- The Passing of Rich Hauben, Founder of Baseops.net
It might be a little embellished, but who cares? Let it ride.- Skydiver Fearless Felix jumps from 18 miles up
Am I the only person who doesn't give a shit about this? Col Kittinger already did it. It may not be in the record books, but his body went Mach one in a pressure suit, and a crappy one at that. Physically, physiologically, aerodynamically, etc. there's no difference between 103k and 120k. Whatever, good luck dude. Hope you don't crater.- How to be a Fighter Pilot
Word. I reference the latter portion of my original post.- How to be a Fighter Pilot
Really? Thanks.
