Actually Huggy, the Greeks were using the letters X or XP as an abbreviation for Christ since the 1400's. It's even used in the New Testament. Now you know, and knowledge is power!

SNAP = The guy who, when you offer him a beer, responds with: "No, I don't drink." I don't give a shit. A simple "No" will do asshole.

AS classes were the only A's I had in 4.5+ years of college. Yes, I'm bragging.

How the fuck do you get a D in Aerospank class? It's probably a blessing in disguise - now you get to be a normal college kid (except for the EE thing). Enjoy it. If I had to do it over, OTS is the way I would've gone. That, or maybe the two year program.

From the E-bird:

There's an easy solution to this letter designation quandry. Stick with what works - call it a U-22. OH...ZING!!!

As mentioned above, SQUAW VALLEY can't be beat for Tahoe skiing/boarding. The guy that started the place, Alex Cushing, died recently. He was ex-mil (Navy JAG in WWII) and started the free lift tickets for active duty deal. Lift tickets normally run $69-72. ALPINE MEADOWS is right next door - free there also. Homewood is another freebie and they have incredible views of the lake and mountains.

Are we really gonna have this discussion? I think you can find pages and pages dedicated to following the rules

Wow. Wikipedia has "standards"?

I was thinking something more like this. Who knew it would be so hard to find pictures of hot chicks in tool belts?

CWO.

You're right - probably don't want to see what the Nancy Locke looks like. But...she is a building contractor - think she makes her wear a toolbelt?

MILF shots. Kinda crosses into the Cougar genre too. I tried like hell to find some boob shots, but this was the best I could do.

Yeah, you're right. The White House party crashers and Tiger taking a beatin' for cheatin' are real hard-hitting news stories.

Sorry, but I thought she was a MILF back in the day...

Christ, my wife watches that TMZ bullshit. Now I get to see it on here...awesome. Now there's a WTF.

Sooooo...where's the C-27 schoolhouse gonna' be? Sorry, that's not this thread...wait...WTF?

In with what? Airline job. Wow, nice work !2#4. I would call your first attempt at posting here an unqualified success! Not too creative with the screen name though. You should've gone with "d0oshb@g". I doubt it's taken. Lit, THAT's in before the lock.

It's bullshit. Curiosity satisfied there Whiskers?

I don't have a problem with tasering him.

Agreed. (God, I love sarcasm - good work.)

If smelling like awesome, having brass balls, and being able to crush ass like Wilt Chamberlain are all health problems, then yes it's true. Who told you that? In all seriousness, I've never heard that before. There has been on and off interest from the medical community through the years. In fact, I've flown with Dosimeters (measures radiation exposure) and to my knowledge the readings weren't much different than that experienced on the ground or lower altitudes...or maybe they just didn't tell me. With 50+ years of flying, you'd think there would be more than rumors if there was any truth to it. 925 huh? Go Badgers!

Little late to the game here, but that's F-ing awesome. I'd like to contribute. This is fairly weak, but at least it's something. We don't have SP's here, but we do have the PFPA. The Pentagon Force Protection Agency. They are mostly nice/professional guys. But, like all cops, they have some real crack troops among their ranks. I ride my bicycle to work. Once I get there, I pass a guard shack and use a combination of barely-used access road and empty sidewalk to get to the bike rack (near the 9/11 memorial). I've done this just about every day for the last year. Last week a cop stops me with a "HEY YOU! STOP!" Love that one. Thinking: Cop, why do you have to be a dick? After I stop, he continues, "Sir, you know you can't use THAT sidewalk, you should be on the road." I say, "Well, No, I didn't know that, and I've been doing that for a year. Now all the sudden it's an issue?" He responds with, "Sir, it's a force protection issue and for your own safety." Huh? There's nobody around...EVER!! What the hell is going to happen to me?!? Is there something I should know? Whatever, I make a mental note: I hate that guy... The VERY NEXT DAY I comply with his instructions and ride in on the road he told me to use. Yeah, it takes an additional 69 seconds to get to the bikerack, but I don't want to get scolded again. The SAME COP stops me again. This is the good part. I shit you not - cop yells, "EXCUSE ME, SIR!?! You can't ride on that road, please use the sidewalk." I turn around completely dumbfounded. "WTF?(my exact words). Yesterday you told me not to ride on the sidewalk." Cop says, "I don't remember saying that." I decided not to press the issue, he was carrying a sub-machine gun. I shake my head and ride off.

I just invited everybody I know in the Pentagon.

It's all relative. 25K hours on a KC-10, 25K hours on a T-38, 25K hours on an A-10, 25K hours on a U-2, 25K hours on an F-22, 25K on a C-130... All different animals. Think hours airborne, G's pulled, gross weight, touch 'n go's, altitude, pressurizing, depressurizing, cargo, no cargo, employing ordinance, length of the average sortie, etc...
